It is amazing to think after all that has happened in this country in the last few years the last few decades that so many people have this blind faith that government is our friend and therefore so we don't need protections against it.

Government alone cannot solve the problems we deal with in our correctional facilities treatment centers homeless shelters and crisis centers - we need our faith-based and community partners.

Life is only a long and bitter suicide and faith alone can transform this suicide into a sacrifice.

Look at the Afghans during the time of the Soviet invasion. They were among the poorest Muslims in the world yet they were sustained by their faith in God and God alone.

Offspring the due performance on religious rites faithful service highest conjugal happiness and heavenly bliss for the ancestors and oneself depend on one's wife alone.

Golf... is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone with the knowledge that only God is watching him and play his ball where it lies is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.

Bid then the tender light of faith to shine By which alone the mortal heart is led Unto the thinking of the thought divine.

Faith mighty faith the promise sees And looks to God alone Laughs at impossibilities And cries it shall be done.

Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They'll stay faithful as long as it's safe and doesn't involve risk rejection or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation they check to see which way their friends are going.

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ accepting receiving resting upon Him alone for justification sanctification and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.
