For centuries the Church stood solidly against every form of worldly entertainment, recognizing it for what it was—a device for wasting time, a refuge from the disturbing voice of conscience, a scheme to divert attention from moral accountability.  But of late she appears to have decided that if she cannot conquer the great god Entertainment she may as well join forces with him and make what use she can of his powers.

A. W. Tozer

He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord God will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.

Isaiah 25:8
The King James Version

We are not human beings having a spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

A man’s state before God may always be measured by his prayers.

The country in which I live is not my native country, that lies elsewhere, and it must always be the center of my longings.

Thérèse of Lisieux

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.  And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.  If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3
The English Standard Version

He is more within us than we are ourselves.

Faith is a sounder guide than reason.  Reason can go only so far, but faith has no limits.

Blaise Pascal

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7
The New King James Version

When I came to believe in Christ’s teaching, I ceased desiring what I had wished for before.  The direction of my life, my desires, became different.  What was good and bad changed places.

Leo Tolstoy

A true love of God must begin with a delight in his holiness.

Jonathan Edwards

For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.  For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.

1 Peter 3:10-12
The King James Version

Friendship is the source of the greatest pleasures, and without friends even the most agreeable pursuits become tedious.

2 Corinthians 12:9
The Revised Standard Version

We regard God as an airman regards his parachute; it’s there for emergencies, but he hopes he’ll never have to use it.
