Then the hard, dry Spaniards came exploring through, greedy and realistic, and their greed was for gold or God. They collected souls as they collected jewels.

We are to work not to satisfy our own needs, but rather for the good of others and for the purpose of establishing the Kingdom of God here on earth.

Many words do not a good prayer make what counts is the heartfelt desire to commune with God and the faith to back it up.

When something good happens it's a miracle and you should wonder what God is saving up for you later.

If we really exist merely to fulfill God’s plan: then life is a television drama; with God being the scriptwriter, the director, and, the audience.

Religion is the solid basis of good morals; therefore education should teach the precepts of religion, and the duties of man toward God.

If someone believes in god, is he a liar? He never saw god or any proof or evidence of god. He only heard about god.

No amount of organization and time management will compensate for a lack of Christian character, not when it comes to this great calling of glory through good—bringing glory to God by doing good to others.

As a Priest got a calling to preach, you also got a calling to do whatever you do, so do it with passion and only God can stop your calling.

On the other hand, if God's moral judgement differs from ours so that our 'black' may be His 'white', we can mean nothing by calling Him good; for to say 'God is good', while asserting that His goodness is wholly other than ours, is really only to say 'God is we know not what'. And an utterly unknown quality in God cannot give us moral grounds for loving or obeying Him. If He is not (in our sense) 'good' we shall obey, if at all, only through fear - and should be equally ready to obey omnipotent Fiend. The doctrine of Total Depravity - when the consequence is drawn that, since we are totally depraved, our idea of good is worth simply nothing - may thus turn Christianity into a form of devil-worship.- The Problem of Pain, pp. 28 - 29
