There can be no revival when Mr. Amen and Mr. Wet-Eyes are not found in the audience.
Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme, and song.
To love is to be vulnerable.
It is true that infidelity cannot withstand the force of reason and argument; but true godly example can come nearer the lifespot of religion. It knocks at the door of the heart. If the truths of Christianity were seconded by the devoted and pious lives of all her professed disciples, the unbelief of the world would soon cease. Private example of godliness is what the world most needs.
God does not always call us to go back physically to a place we have been. But if for example we have a difficult time submitting to a boss with a certain personality God may call us to continue working with someone who has the same personality until we master the situation in a godly way. God does not want us to be on the run He wants us to confront our fears and frustrations in order to find peace in Him.
It is photography itself that creates the illusion of innocence. Its ironies of frozen narrative lend to its subjects an apparent unawareness that they will change or die. It is the future they are innocent of. Fifty years on we look at them with the godly knowledge of how they turne dout after all - who they married, the date of their death - with no thought for who will one day be holding photographs of us.
For me the goddess is the female of God, She is powerful if different.
The way to be truly happy is to be truly human, and the way to be truly human is to be truly godly.
The godly have some good in them, therefore the devil afflicts them; and some evil in them, therefore God afflicts them.
The spiritual heritage of the godly lives on after they are gone.
RELIGION is one's opinion and belief in some ethical truth. To be a Christian is to have the religion of Christ, and so to be a believer of Mohammed is to be a Mohammedan but there are so many religions that every man seems to be a religion unto himself. No two persons think alike, even if they outwardly profess the same faith, so we have as many religions in Christianity as we have believers.
Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America has been different. We have no king but Jesus.
Let gratitude for the past inspire us with trust for the future.
God can make you anything you want to be, but you have to put everything in his hands.
Ladies, use a loving voice, use a respectful voice, use a godly voice, but don't lose your voice.
I lived in a project and. . . didn't have a good education. But. . . I'd listen to the preacher, who said that God would show me the way. Everything starts from that confidence.
Whatever a person may be like, we must still love them because we love God.
He’d learned years ago it was better not to dwell too much on who was related to whom on the godly side of things. After Tyson the Cyclops adopted him as a brother, Percy decided that that was about as far as he wanted to extend the family.
Lord God, I long to hear Your voice but not just secondhand through teachers, as wonderful and godly as they can be. I long to hear Your voice firsthand.
Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity.
