David C. Reardon Quotes

Laughter kills fear, and without fear there can be no faith. For without fear of the devil there is no need for God.

To believe in something not yet proved and to underwrite it with our lives: it is the only way we can leave the future open.

When, therefore, man lives according to man, not according to God, he is like the devil.

I think I'm like most people - we fear the unknown and the things that have yet to come to pass, which are the very things that don't deserve to be feared. When you give God complete control, it's very hard not to be fearless.

It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.

The next time you're disappointed, don't panic. Don't give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He's still in control.

Darkness comes. In the middle of it, the future looks blank. The temptation to quit is huge. Don't. You are in good company... You will argue with yourself that there is no way forward. But with God, nothing is impossible. He has more ropes and ladders and tunnels out of pits than you can conceive. Wait. Pray without ceasing. Hope.

Communism is a religion that is inspired, directed and motivated by the Devil himself who has declared war against Almighty God.

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God's hands, and I am very happy about that!

I don't know what the future may hold, but I know who holds the future.

That is the exciting thing: I don't know what God has given me for tomorrow.

We might experience bad things in our lives. But if we worship a God who suffered more than us, this is our highest example. And there are lots of challenges in our lives. This does not mean we give up.

If there was no faith there would be no living in this world. We could not even eat hash with any safety.

If you don't know what tomorrow holds, you need to know who holds tomorrow!

I pray as much as possible.

Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.

I think we spend so much of our lives trying to pretend that we know what's going to happen next. In fact we don't. To recognize that we don't know even what will happen this afternoon and yet having the courage to move forward - that's one meaning of faith.

Fishing is very meditative; you need to be able to give up control and cast out the line and then hope for the best, so in that way, it's quite like acting.

God gave you not a spirit of faithlessness, not a spirit of despair.

I'm a man of faith. I only fear God, and my wife - sometimes.

There are no guarantees. From the viewpoint of fear, none are strong enough. From the viewpoint of love, none are necessary.

As for the Devil - that is somebody our religion tried to do without for a long time.

Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don't have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.

Do I believe in the devil? I don't believe in a figure with horns and a tail.
