The only reality is the grace of repentance.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Love is a fearless force.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Lailah Gifty Akita

It is not the mere fear of punishment that restrains [man] from sin. Loving and revering God as his father, honouring and obeying Him as his master, although there were no hell, he would revolt at the very idea of offending Him.

Every good deed is a glory to God.

Lailah Gifty Akita

The only shame is the sin.

Don't spend the rest of your lives chasing your own desires, but be anxious to do the will of God.

Lailah Gifty Akita

There are Christians who are doing the right thing, but not always at the right time

Every Christian can have victory in his calling

Never give up. Things may be hard, but if you quit trying they'll never get better. Stop worrying and start trusting God. It will be worth it.

Your life as a Christian must be that which glorifies God

Be disciplined and effective in your relationship with God

Our goal is to reflect the Kingdom of God

Don’t just be a church goer, find God

Why miss out on what God has in store for you while you’re trying to get in on his plan for somebody else? Your plans are the best—for YOU—and so is your personality. You’re so worth it

The Christian who loves his Master needs not fear any longer for himself. For it is then completely irrational, as it is written thus: 'Perfect love casts out fear.' However, it is very much rational for one to instead fear for the enemies of God.

Christians sometimes make themselves into elephants afraid of mice. You have the Creator of the universe on your side; not to mention, you've been given eternal life. 'Whom or what shall you fear?' To be afraid of anything other than God himself is like an insult to God.

There is nothing loving about encouraging fear. Nothing. Fear leads to darkness, depression, anger, irrationality, anxiety, consternation, unrest, and ultimately, destruction. Fear, as Yoda reminds us all, is the path to the Dark Side. Fear is a weapon, not a productive tool. Fear is a means of control. Fear should never be the basis for why anyone does anything regarding the health of the mind, body, and spirit.

Michael Vito Tosto

In a relationship with God, our most secret places once thickly cloaked and meticulously hidden away now stand before us utterly and entirely exposed. And it may be that this dreaded fear is the single thing that keeps us an arm’s length from God, and forever a single step away from His blessings.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

I much prefer not to fall, unless of course I am falling into the hands of God.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

What would behoove me to instantly declare God not to be God unless He followed my script in some tediously exacting manner? I must confess that I am less likely to believe that it’s a matter of some narcissistic demand that I freely pen my own script. Rather, I think it’s fear that I’m too inadequate to follow God’s.

Craig D. Lounsbrough

To fear God is to seek his favour.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Fear the sword of sin, it leads to death of the soul.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Happiness is the heavenly light of joy.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Spirituality has thus come to be regarded by the world as those futile, self-torturing excesses of strange men and women who lived in far-off, benighted places and times. Accordingly, the One who came to give abundance of life is commonly thought of as a cosmic stuffed shirt, whose excessive "spirituality" probably did not allow him normal bodily functions and certainly would not permit him to throw a frisbee or tackle someone in a football game.

Blessed and fortunate creature, your eyes shall behold Him and not another's. All that you are, sins apart, is destined, if you will let God have His good way, to utter satisfaction. The Brocken spectre 'looked to every man like his first love', because she was a cheat. But God will look to every soul like its first love because He is its first love. Your place in heaven will seem to be made for you and you alone, because you were made for it--made for it stitch by stitch as a glove is made for a hand

Maybe we should live our lives in a constant state of expectation, always curious and excited about the possibilities that could unfold in front of us. Maybe it is our sense of vision that colors our reality.

There is no difference between ancient and modern paganism. Christianity has five gods: three that band together against one who apparently has managed to stand his ground for millennia, and a mother of god who is worshiped at the same level as the other members of the quadrinity

Bangambiki Habyarimana

Our human lives serve much like frames for our spiritual lives.

Grace isn't meant to be fair, grace is meant to be good

May we take responsibility for the truth of our lives and challenge others to do the same.May we learn to love and forgive others, even when we know their messes.against us.May we know the truth of how much we are loved and accepted right here,right now, as we are.

Learning the way of grace is about truth. It’s reconciling the truth, of both our own infinite value and of others’ infinite value—despite our depths ofbrokenness.

Spirituality gives strength of spirit.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Spirituality has a language of it's own and some people haven't learned to speak it.

Shannon L. Alder

Lailah Gifty Akita

Lailah Gifty Akita

The Spirit calls, I must go fulfill the mission.

Lailah Gifty Akita

God's great Law is spiritual.

Lailah Gifty Akita

Lailah Gifty Akita

The sweetness of prayer is the prosperity of the soul.

Lailah Gifty Akita

God has made the Universe and all that is in it, can He ever fail to give us anything that we ask of Him today?

Jocelyn Soriano

The Holy Bible is the best of all books.

Lailah Gifty Akita

This was borne out again in October 1996 when Pope John Paul II, standing in the context of a train of Catholic thought which stretched back to the Church Fathers said, in essence, "Looks like there's some good evidence for some sort of biological evolution."[22] That is, he said, as so many Catholics have already said, that there is nothing in divine revelation that particularly forbids you to believe that God made Adam from the dust of the earth r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w-l-y rather than instantaneously (and used other creatures to somehow assist in the process) so long as you bear in mind that God did, in fact, create man and woman (particularly the soul, which is made directly by God and is not a result of the collision of atoms). --Making Senses of Scripture

Mark Shea

For God to prove himself on demand, physically, would be a grave disappointment, and the strongest Christians should be considerably grateful that he chooses not to do so. The skeptic endlessly demands proof, yet God refuses to insult the true intelligence of man, the '6th sense', the chief quality, the acumen which distinguishes man from the rest of creation, faith.

He [William Jennings Bryan] recognized that what Darwin proposed on the biological level, when applied on the societal level, might legitimize an ideology that supports the survival of the fittest, with all of its dire complications. Byran was able to envision the kind of society that Social Darwinism would create- the kind of exploitation that comes from unbridled capitalism, for instance- and chose to war against it.

One possibility is: God is nothing but the power of the universe to organize itself.

Evil influence is like a nicotine patch, you cannot help but absorb what sticks to you.

E.A. Bucchianeri

You've brushed your teeth," He says, staring at me."I used your toothbrush."His lips quirk up in a half smile. "Oh Anastasia Steele, what am I going to do with you?

So they finally gave you the license to kill, about time.

A ghostly smile flickered across his face. "If you weren't so psychotic, you'd be fun to hang around." "Funny, I feel that way about you too." He didn't say anything else, but the smile grew, and he walked away.

There is a huge difference between living a Christian life and living a religious life

You shouldn’t live for yourself alone but you must also learn to live the Christian life

There will be a time, when you ask for nothing but life.

Lailah Gifty Akita

The appointed time is the moment of miracles.
