God Quotes

Prayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.

I want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you're a Christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing.

Lewis doing his resourceful best to render Him as a fabulous special effect.

~ Francis Spufford

My mother told me, 'Son, nobody else but God knows.' And that's what I'm about - reaching out to the people, crying with them, giving them hope. Visiting the hospital, visiting the kids with cancer, visiting the adults, and stuff like that. That's what I do.
