If faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practiced, I am sure a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.
Many people want to send their children to faith schools because they get good exam results, but they're not foolish enough to believe that it's because of faith that they get good exam results.
Some of the cases which have come to light of employers being disciplined or sacked for simply trying to talk about their faith in the workplace I find quite extraordinary. The sanitisation will lead to people of faith excluding themselves from the public space and being excluded.
I certainly do not support excluding faith from public life.
There can be no faith in government if our highest offices are excused from scrutiny - they should be setting the example of transparency.
I have great respect for the LDS church - their commitment to family and taking care of each other is exemplary. I just don't believe the tenets of the faith that they believe.
Every life is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent influence.
My faith grew strong, and I sent a letter (as I was ordered) to the Rev. Dignitary of the Cathedral of Exeter. I was assured, before I sent it, he would not answer it.
The roles of art, morality, religion, political faith, science itself are not to repair organic exhaustion nor to provide sound functioning of the organs. All this supraphysical life is built and expanded not because of the demands of the cosmic environment but because of the demands of the social environment.
Liturgy, in truth, is an event by means of which we let ourselves be introduced into the expansive faith and prayer of the Church. This is the reason why the early Christians prayed facing east, in the direction of the rising sun, the symbol of the returning Christ.
With His love, you can wake up every day with an attitude of faith and expectancy.
I've learned through my own relationship with God that He's not expecting me to be perfect; He wants me to do my best to be in His will and take steps of faith as He leads me, through His Word and the promptings He speaks to my heart.
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.
I dabbled with faith, and I explored religion quite thoroughly.
Religion wasn't imposed on me. I dabbled with faith, and I explored religion quite thoroughly.
At least the fundamentalists haven't tried to dilute their message. Their faith is exposed for what it is for all to see.
The fundamental character of our faith means an extensive diversity is required not only within local community, but between communities.
Keep the faith, don't lose your perseverance and always trust your gut extinct.
My stories are not Christianized at all. I don't even have any Christians in my stories. What they are, are stories about ordinary people going through extraordinary circumstances in which I'm exploring truth. How light overcomes darkness in a way that's unmistakable to anyone who has any kind of faith.
There are many Muslims of good will and despise this extremism as much as anyone of any other faith.
