Faith idles when character shrivels.

believe in Jesus on the basis of the historical evidence, but my relationship with Jesus goes way beyond the evidence. I have to put my trust in him and walk with him on a daily basis.

Faith is a spiritual force....It is substance. Faith has the ability to effect natural substance.

Don't listen to their words, fix your attention on their deeds.

There was no attack on religion because people were generally indifferent to religion. They were neither hot nor cold. They were the tepid, the materialistic, who hoped that by Sunday churchgoing they would be taking care of the afterlife, if there were an afterlife. Meanwhile they would get everything they could in this.

Don't let your life give evidence against your tongue. Sing with your voices... sing also with your conduct.

We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.

Just as the body cannot exist without blood, so the soul needs the matchless and pure strength of faith.

The progress of religion is steadily to its identity with morals. Strength enters just as much as the moral element prevails.

How do you tap in to what God has already done? Very simple: just act like you're blessed, talk like you're blessed, walk like you're blessed, think like you're blessed, smile like you're blessed, dress like you're blessed. Put actions behind your faith, and one day you will see it become a reality.
