Pray, and let God worry.

Martin Luther Monk

The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.

Martin Luther Monk

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.

Martin Luther Monk

Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder and gentler, more moral and more reasonable.

Martin Luther Monk

The Gospel is open to all; the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones Minister

Christ leads us to go out from ourselves more and more, to give ourselves and to serve others.

Pope Francis

I think there's a faith formula in that verse: believe plus receive equals become. So I think believing's important, having intellectual agreement with Christian doctrine is important, but there has to be a time when we receive God's gift of grace - not that we've earned it or merit it or deserve it - but receive this free gift of forgiveness and eternal life that Jesus purchased on the cross for us.

Lee Strobel Author

I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma.

Marcia Wallace Actress

This lost world will never be reached and brought back to loyalty to God, until the children of God wake up to the fact that they have a mission in the world. If we are true Christians we should all be missionaries.

Dwight L. Moody Evangelist

The study of theology, as it stands in Christian churches, is the study of nothing; it is founded on nothing; it rests on no principles; it proceeds by no authorities; it has no data; it can demonstrate nothing; and it admits of no conclusion.

Thomas Paine Author
