FAITH is the element, the “chemical” which, when mixed with prayer, gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence.
Unbelief will destroy the best of us; faith will save the worst of us.
Among the many signs of a lively faith and hope we have in eternal life, one of the surest is not being overly sad at the death of those whom we dearly love in our Lord.
It was the experience of mystery - even if mixed with fear - that engendered religion.
If there is a God, atheism must seem to Him as less of an insult than religion.
Let me say that I consider myself a deep believer in the reality of God. I might define God quite differently from the way some people in the Christian faith would do so, but I do not doubt the reality of that experience.

A genuine faith resolves the mystery of life by the mystery of God.
The man who lives in contact with what he believes to be a living Church is a man always expecting to meet Plato and Shakespeare tomorrow at breakfast. He is always expecting to see some truth that he has never seen before.

If you're going to believe in God, if you're going to take that leap of faith, as I do, then the God that seems the most comprehensible to me would be the God who set us spinning and said 'Good luck.'
