 Confession, decision, and many other religious acts can never be and are not to be construed as new birth. Rational judgment, intelligent understanding, mental acceptance, or the pursuit of the good, the beautiful, and the true are merely soulical activities if the spirit is not reached and stirred. Author: Watchman Nee |
| A man's religion consists, not of the many things he is in doubt of and tries to believe, but of the few he is assured of and has no need of effort for believing. Author: Thomas Carlyle |
| I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost; Christianity without Christ; forgiveness without repentance; salvation without regeneration; politics without God; and Heaven without Hell. Author: William Booth |
| I don't believe in any religion apart from doing the will of God. Author: Catherine Booth |
| The passions are the gales of life; and it is religion only that can prevent them from rising into a tempest. Author: Isaac Watts |

| The religion of some people is constrained, like the cold bath when used, not for pleasure, but from necessity for health, into which one goes with reluctance, and is glad when able to get out.--But religion to the true believer is like water to a fish; it is his element; he lives in it, and could not live out of it. Author: John Newton |
| A man with no sense of religious duty is he whom the Scriptures describe in such terse but terrific language, as living "without God in the world." Such a man is out of his proper being, out of the circle of all his duties, out of the circle of all his happiness, and away, far, far away, from the purposes of his creation. Author: Daniel Webster |
| The idea that religion and politics don't mix was invented by the Devil to keep Christians from running their own country. Author: Jerry Falwell |
| The antitheist is quick to excoriate all religious belief by generically laying the blame at the door of all who claim to be religious, without distinction. By the same measure, why is there not an equal enthusiasm to distribute blame for violence engendered by some of the irreligious? Author: Ravi Zacharias |
| I do not believe Muslims were evil because of their faith, but as a minister, I believe it is my responsibility to speak out against the terrible deeds that are committed as a result of Islamic teaching. Author: Franklin Graham |
| I want them to know that they don't have to die in a car bomb, don't have to die in some kind of holy war to be accepted by God. But it's through faith in Jesus Christ and Christ alone. Author: Franklin Graham |
