You will not pit one word of God against another word of God.
All religions are branches of the same mighty tree, but I must not change over from one branch to another for the sake of expediency.
The best advice that I can give you is this. Church-traditions — especially when they do not run counter to the faith — are to be observed in the form in which previous generations have handed them down; and the use of one church is not to be annulled because it is contrary to that of another.
This Christmas may we be consistent in living the Gospel, welcoming Jesus into the centre of our lives.
Don't equate the presence of God with a good mood or a pleasant temperament. God is near whether you are happy or not.
Christianity is not consistency to conscience or to convictions; Christianity is being true to Jesus Christ.
If you're not worshiping God on Monday the way you [did] the day before, perhaps you're not worshiping Him at all.
As humans, we have the tendency to call on God only when we think that we're in dire straits as opposed to cultivating a real relationship with Him every day. And that's what my music tries to convey to all the listeners - try to cultivate it every day.
I think a misconception among many non-religious people is that anyone with a strong faith is, in all ways and at all times, blindly consistent, unwavering, unquestioning.
My religion is no garment to be put on and off with the weather. You had better know that, all of you. I shall worship as I please and hope for all men to worship as they please in Scotland.
A great safeguard is the entire faith, the true faith, in which neither anything whatever can be added by anyone nor anything taken away; for, unless faith be one, it is not the faith.
It is because we underrate thought, because we do not see what a great element it is in religious life, that there is so little of practical and consistent religion among us.
I've never been a Sunday-only kind of Christian.
If you believe in the Bible, you've got to do business with it and not just screen it out.
You can't have a belief system on Sunday and not live it the other six days.
It's a blessing to know that the church and the gospel are the same no matter where I go. I can find a church and know the services and feel at home there.
