I'm a woman of very few words, but lots of action.

The smallest good dead is better than the best intention

Faith is verification by the heart confession by the tongue action by the limbs.

It is in our lives and not our words that our religion must be read.

I could never pretend something I didn't feel. I could never make love if I didn't love, and if I loved I could no more hide the fact than change the color of my eyes.

When Christianity turns into a noun, it becomes a turnoff. Christianity was always intended to be a verb. And, more specifically, an action verb. The title of the book of Acts says it all, doesn't it? It's not the book of Ideas or Theories or Words. It's the book of Acts. If the twenty-first-century church said less and did more, maybe we would have the same kind of impact the first-century church did.

Goodness is not the absence of badness. You can do nothing wrong and still do nothing right.

We fixate on sins of commission: Don't do this, don't do that—and you're OK. But that is holiness by subtraction. And it's more hypocrisy than holiness! It's the sins of omission—what you would have, could have, and should have done — that break the heart of your heavenly Father.

When we fail to take action, we forfeit the future. And just as inaction is an action, indecision is a decision. As Edmund Burke famously said, "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Man is a Religious Animal. He is the only Religious Animal. He is the only animal that has the True Religion - several of them. He is the only animal that loves his neighbor as himself and cuts his throat if his theology isn't straight. He has made a graveyard of the globe in trying his honest best to smooth his brother's path to happiness and heaven.

God doesn't look at how much we do, but with how much love we do it.

Do not think that love, in order to be genuine, has to be extraordinary What we need is Love without getting tired.
