Peter Marshall Quotes

From my perspective, most of my life has been dealing with the day-to-day, kitchen-to-bedroom-to-living-room-to-garage life with people. Most people are just trying to figure out how to love the people in their world, to love their God and to deal with some of these questions about God.

In my everyday life, I'm pretty normal.

I believe that God is the Great Companion, that we are not left orphans, that we may have comradeship with him.

We’re Bible-thumpers who just happened to end up on television.

I met somebody once who said, "I'm a lapsed-atheist" by what he meant was, "I don't believe in God but the older I get the more I realise there is a spirituality in everybody that has to be cherished and nourished." That made a lot of sense to me.

I believe in one, incomprehensible God, the immortality of the soul and eternal retribution for our acts.

I think the reason we sometimes have the false sense that God is so far away is because that is where we have put him. We have kept him at a distance, and then when we are in need and call on him in prayer, we wonder where he is. He is exactly where we left him.
