Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
And that's really what's happening in this country is a violation of the First Commandment. We have become a country entrenched in idolatry, and that idolatry is the dependency upon our government. We're supposed to depend upon God for our protection and our provision and for our daily bread, not for our government.
Ministry is the least important thing. You cannot not minister if you are in communion with God and live in community.

In their poverty, the mentally handicapped reveal God to us and hold us close to the gospel.
The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.
The years like great black oxen tread the world, and God, the herdsman goads them on behind, and I am broken by their passing feet.
It is the artist who realizes that there is a supreme force above him and works gladly away as a small apprentice under God's heaven.
The aim and final end of all music should be none other than the glory of God and the refreshment of the soul.
I've always been spiritual but I've never had a proper context, and it took me awhile to find the proper context. It's hard to realize you can have any kind of relationship with God you want... and so I now have a punk rock relationship with God.
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for perfection is God's business.
First, I have to thank God for giving me the gift that he did as well as a second chance for a better life.
It's really amazing that in the age of unbelief, as a smart man called it, there isn't even more fraud. After all, with no God, there's no one to ever call you to account, and no accounting at all if you can get away with it.
After I set out to refute Christianity intellectually and couldn't, I came to the conclusion the Bible was true and Jesus Christ was God's Son.
I said to the almond tree, 'Friend, speak to me of God,' and the almond tree blossomed.
God is not a hypothesis derived from logical assumptions, but an immediate insight, self-evident as light. He is not something to be sought in the darkness with the light of reason. He is the light.
Politics are for foreigners with their endless wrongs and paltry rights. Politics are a lousy way to get things done. Politics are, like God's infinite mercy, a last resort.

If God wants us to do a thing, he should make his wishes sufficiently clear. Sensible people will wait till he has done this before paying much attention to him.
To know God better is only to realize how impossible it is that we should ever know him at all. I know not which is more childish to deny him, or define him.
He has spent his life best who has enjoyed it most. God will take care that we do not enjoy it any more than is good for us.
Man finds it hard to get what he wants, because he does not want the best God finds it hard to give, because He would give the best, and man will not take it.
The course of this conflict is not known, yet its outcome is certain. Freedom and fear, justice and cruelty, have always been at war, and we know that God is not neutral between them.
Your best friend and worst enemy are both in this room right now. It's not your neighbor right or left - and it's not God or the devil - it's you.
The romantic love we feel toward the opposite sex is probably one extra help from God to bring you together, but that's it. All the rest of it, the true love, is the test.
I wished to God the doctor had handed me a pamphlet that said, 'Hey, sorry about the autism, but here's a step-by-step list on what to do next.' But doctors don't do that. They say 'sorry' and move you along.
