Quotes about Belief

Sometimes people's spiritual ideas become fixed and they use them against those who don't share their beliefs - in effect, becoming fundamentalist. It's very dangerous - the finger of righteous indignation pointing at someone who is identified as bad or wrong.

Rest is the ability to totally trust God without living under the stress of the cares of life.

Even Believers can yield to the wrong spirits. Peter once rebuked Jesus, telling Him that He would not suffer.

At times you may believe that you are at wits' end and feel that God has bypassed you for a more urgent petition or a needier person. Perhaps He has "too many children" to take care of and is "too busy for you." However, just as the examples above indicate, God prepares a good outcome before the situation arises; He is not surprised at the trouble and at your reaction to it, and He can and is planning a way of escape before you ever get into the crisis.

And many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, 'Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?' " — DEUTERONOMY 31:17

Spiritual rest comes through faith.

To say Washington was a Deist—even a "soft Deist"—would imply that he did not have a problem violating his conscience each time he worshiped in his church. It is difficult to imagine how Washington, with his expressed concern for his character and his open commitment to honesty and candor, along with his sensitive conscience, could repeatedly and consistently make a public reaffirmation of a faith that he really did not believe.

George Washington's Sacred Fire intends to convince you that when all the available evidence is considered, the only viable conclusion is that George Washington was a Christian and not a Deist.

Indeed, given the facts, the burden of proof is not to prove that Washington was a Christian; the burden of proof is to prove that he was a skeptic who nevertheless sought to act like a Christian believer!

The skeptics who argue for Washington the Deist must explain his lifelong and heartfelt commitment to Christian missionary work.

It is just as crazy not to be crazy about Christ as it is to be crazy about anything else.

God gives us not only the truth but also the ability to believe it; not only the new thing to see but also the new eye to see it with.
