God Quotes

If there is no friendship with them [the poor] and no sharing of the life of the poor, then there is no authentic commitment to liberation, because love exists only among equals.

~ Gustavo Gutiérrez

Behold divinity divine enough to abandon divinity. Behold majesty secure enough to proceed un-majestically. Behold strength strong enough to become weakness, goodness good enough to be unmindful of its reputation. Behold love plenteous enough to give and take not again.

~ Paul Ramsey

To cease to wonder is to fall plumb-down from the childlike to the commonplace—the most undivine of all moods intellectual. Our nature can never be at home among things that are not wonderful to us.

~ George Macdonald

Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.

~ Peter Kreeft

I can't understand God and I can't understand myself, so there's no chance in hell that I'm going to understand you!

~ Anthony T. Hincks

Losing an unsaved loved one is hell, but that doesn’t mean that you need to go there yourself by turning away from God. Don’t make the same mistake he or she did.

~ Evan Minton

I essentially killed those men. Am I slated for hell?He stepped to me. Put his fingers underneath my chin. Raised it until our gazes locked. You're a god, Dutch. And the reaper. You don't get slated. You are the slate.

~ Darynda Jones

The careless, the lukewarm Catholics should, above all, dread hell, for he is continually walking on the brink of the infernal abyss. He makes little of the precepts of hearing Mass, of the prescribed abstinence from flesh meat, he scruples not neglecting the religious training of his children, he associates with persons and frequents places that are to him an occasion of sin, he yields to impure thoughts, commits sins of impurity without remorse, gives way to his vindictive feelings against his neighbor, indulges in excess in eating and drinking, neglects prayer and the sacraments. Now is the time for him to be aroused from his life of sin, now is the time for him to give up sin and change his life, for if he defers doing so, it may soon be to late. This may, indeed, be the last warning that God gives him.

~ Fr. Martin Von Cochem

The best way to turn the earth into hell is to turn the state into a god.

~ Jakub Bożydar Wiśniewski

Damnation is eternal. That’s the whole point. Otherwise, what good would it do you?

~ Forrest Carr

Why did God do it? or is there really a Devil who led to the Fall? Souls in Heaven said We want to try mortal existence, O God, Lucifer said it's great!—Bang, down we fall, to this, to concentration camps, gas ovens, barbed wire, atom bombs, television murders, Bolivian starvation, thieves in silk, thieves in neckties, thieves in office, paper shufflers, bureaucrats, insult, rage, dismay, horror, terrified nightmares, secret death of hangovers, cancer, ulcers, strangulation, pus, old age, old age homes, canes, puffed flesh, dropped teeth, stink, tears, and goodbye. Somebody else write it, I dont know how.

~ Jack Kerouac

I had a lot of Hell that God needed to squeeze out of me, and believe me, sometimes when the Hell leaves you it screams at God on the way out. And when the pain from your past leaves you, sometimes you have to feel it again on the way out. There's nothing we can say or do that can separate us from God's love.

~ Brian Welch

Do you know what Hell is? ...No fire, no brimstone. Man in his infinite folly invented that to rob from his brothers their will. Hell is existing without Our Father. None of His love touches me.

~ Thomm Quackenbush

Hell was never God's intention. It is man's invention. It is a human-manufactured religious icon, no less idolatrous than deifying a statue.

~ Carlton D. Pearson

The very places that we presume God not to be are the very places that are filled with His footprints and littered with His fingerprints.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

My friend, you are truly yourself alone. God must have broken the mould after turning you out.

I had a standing arrangement with God: I'd agree to believe in Him -barely- as long as He let me sleep in on Sundays.

~ Richelle Mead

In God’s vocabulary, ‘lost’ is an unnecessary adjective that is easily erased by the adjective ‘found’ if we would simply be brave enough to hand Him the eraser.

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

If you're wrestling with some sort of decision, reflect for a moment and ask yourself, Am I being brave, or am I being safe? In the end, it depends on whether we think God can be trusted.

~ Gary Haugen

I thought of Bobby, of the last look he had given me, and at that moment I understood one of the differences between man and cat: man knows he's going to die, so he can get ready and be willing, even eager, to go. A cat knows the end is near, but that's all. He can't accept death: he can't trust in it; cats are perhaps too metaphysical an entity to need to believe in the idea of a beyond; a cat is his own god and man his creation.

~ Jaime Manrique

Only a master weaver could intertwine dark and light threads in such a way that all one saw was beauty when looking back at the finished tapestry.

~ Karen Witemeyer

With God, all things are possible- including, dominating adulthood, swimming upstream for life, and living in light of eternity in a world that tells you all you can do is live for the moment.

~ Katie Kiesler

You care because God gave you this unusual blessing: a burden to make a difference.

~ Craig Groeschel

When you feel this burden, you might be frustrated, wondering why no one else cares as much as you do. The reason why you care and others don't could be because God has aimed it directly at you.

~ Craig Groeschel

I'm asking God to bless you with something that unsettles you, disturbs you, and upsets you.

~ Craig Groeschel

When God says He got you, you're got. And you can't be un-got.

~ Lana M. H. Wilder

~ Craig Groeschel

God says happiness is contentment with what you already have, with what He provides you, with what you can share.

~ Craig Groeschel

And because God has entrusted you with such riches, you can use these resources to make a profound difference in countless lives.

~ Craig Groeschel

In God's economy, you may even harvest a crop in places where you didn't plant seed. When you're generous, you will be blessed, whether it comes to you materially, spiritually, emotionally, relationally, or some other way. God obviously cares much more about what happens in our hearts than what happens in our bank accounts, more about our attitudes than our credit scores. Giving generously changes you. It frees you up, undermines the power that money and possessions can have over you, and it makes you more like Him.

~ Craig Groeschel

Don't settle for a normal life. Not when you can enjoy the wonderful weirdness of being who God created you to be.

~ Craig Groeschel
