In the wilderness, God’s covenant people struggled with a choice between feeding their bellies and nourishing their souls. God provided manna–a breadlike food that fell to the ground during the night–to sustain the wandering Israelites...

God is our great provider! The Lord’s blessings are our greatest wealth.

If you pay attention to those aspects of God that demonstrate love, truth, beauty, intelligence, order, and spiritual evolution, those aspects will begin to expand in your life. Bit by bit, like a mosaic, disparate...

We’re more concerned about our own “victory” over sin than we are about the fact that our sins grieve God’s heart.

To incessantly blame others for my shortcomings is cowardice borne of fear, fed by fear, and haunted by fear. To be steadfastly accountable for my shortcomings is bravery borne of God, fed by God, and...

Some people want to see God with their eyes as they see a cow, and to love Him as they love a cow – for the milk and cheese and profit it brings them. This...

Now we cannot…discover our failure to keep God’s law except by trying our very hardest (and then failing). Unless we really try, whatever we say there will always be at the back of our minds...

God knows what is my greatest happiness, but I do not. There is no rule about what is happy and good; what suits one would not suit another. And the ways by which perfection is...

There is a widespread sense of loss here, if not always of God, then at least of meaning.

The more you go with the flow of life and surrender the outcome to God, and the less you seek constant clarity, the more you will find that fabulous things start to show up in...

I take leave to contradict those who say that salvation is an evolution! All that ever can be evolved out of the sinful heart of man is sin-and nothing else! Salvation is the free gift...

The sound of thunder awake me, and when I got up, my feet sank into muddy water up to my ankles. Mother took Buster and Helen to high ground to pray, but I stayed behind...

Why do you believe in God?” the woman asked me in the busy corridor. I don’t remember the answer I gave. It was probably too long and rattled in her ears. I wish I could...

But that is the nature of true grace and spiritual light, that it opens to a person’s view the infinite reason there is that he should be holy in a high degree. And the more...

It’s good to let God pick a man for you. We don’t do so well when we pick them ourselves. They end up lipsticks in a drawer, all those wrong colors you thought looked so...

God always ignores the present perfection for the ultimate perfection.

Because you’re a creation of God, you reflect the Divine qualities of creativity, wisdom, and love.

The reason God exists is because ignorance is bliss, and God is true bliss.

Yesterday the paper had a “short” summary of the places where Jews are not allowed! I can better mention where they are still aloud: “in their houses and in the streets!” God, punish those who...

The type of nothing from which something can arise is truly something.

Therefore let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers’ (Rom 13.1). The Christian must not be drawn to the bearers of high office; his calling is to stay below. The higher power are...

God is the same everywhere.

When some one mortal yet eternal human merely being relying on precisely nothing but the audacious love of his Maker, calls on Him to part the Heavens, well, we are undone.

Here we must take account of one of St. Thomas’s conceptual distinctions, which at first seems like unnecessary caviling. It is the distinction between “uncreated” and “created” happiness. We have here something which, while not...

Anything beyond the limits and grasp of the human mind is either illusion or futility; and because your god having to be one or the other of the two, in the first instance I should...

Belief in an infallible God does not make one infallible.

You cannot prove to yourself that you love God by examining your feelings toward Him. They are indefinite and they fluctuate. But just as far as you obey Him, just so far, depend upon it;...

The people who know God well—mystics, hermits, prayerful people, those who risk everything to find God—always meet a lover, not a dictator.

As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing (2 Corinthians 6:10).Sorrow was beautiful, but her beauty was the beauty of the moonlight shining through the leafy branches of the trees in the wood, and making little pools of...

Making love to me is amazing. Wait, I meant: making love, to me, is amazing. The absence of two little commas nearly transformed me into a sex god.

Have confidence. Like the first spark of morning light against the entire night sky recognize the Power and Brilliance within you.

Perhaps a past of bingeing, restricting, or purging comes back to haunt you from time to time. Maybe you have to fight hard battles against vanity, gluttony, and shame. But with God’s saving power, every...

Every time we mention God we become theologians, and the only question is whether we are going to be good ones or bad ones.

I don’t want to be an anti, against anybody. I simply want to be the builder of a great affirmation: the affirmation of God,who loves us and who wants to save us.
