When God works in our lives, those without faith like to call it chance. Those who believe call it a miracle. I don't know where you land on that scale, but I'm suggesting God is not as distant as you may believe.

all eschatological interpretation of history, when united to a strong religious mentality cannot but produce the finest practical theological fruitage.

There was an army of hundreds of thousands of spirits fighting alongside the blacks, and that was why finally the whites were defeated. Everyone is in agreement about that, even the French soldiers, who felt the spirits' fury. Maître Valmorain, who did not believe in anything he did not understand, and as he understood very little believed in nothing, was also convinced that the dead aided the rebels.

My life is ... a mystery which I do not attempt to really understand, as though 1 were led by the hand in a night where I see nothing, but can fully depend on the love and protection of Him who guides me.

His Christianity was muscular.

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen. Not only because I see it, but because I see everything by it.

Belief is better than anything else, and it is best when rapt - above paying its respects to anybody's doubt whatsoever.

We are not certain, we are never certain.

Many live in dread of what is coming. Why should we? The unknown puts adventure into life. ... The unexpected around the corner gives a sense of anticipation and surprise. Thank God for the unknown future.

Faith is nothing at all tangible. ... It is simply believing God; and like sight, it is nothing apart from its object. You might as well shut your eyes and look inside, and see whether you have sight, as to look inside to discover whether you have faith.

Faith is necessary to victory.

AH I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen.
