Godliness as well as the doctrine of our faith is a mystery.

I realized that my truest passion was for helping people change through faith in a higher power. That meant for me belonging to the church. Using my abilities to bring Christian doctrine to a postmodern world.

Today we often think that before we start living a religious life we have first to accept the creedal doctrines and that before one can have any comprehension of the loyalty and trust of faith one must first force one's mind to accept a host of incomprehensible doctrines. But this is to put the cart before the horse.

Red Letter Christians believe in the doctrines of the Apostle's Creed are convinced that the Scriptures have been inspired by the Holy Spirit and make having a personal transforming relationship with the resurrected Christ the touchtone of their faith.

A faith is something you die for a doctrine is something you kill for. There is all the difference in the world.

The Bible is our rule of faith and doctrine.

You can judge the quality of their faith from the way they behave. Discipline is an index to doctrine.

I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud or perhaps even think.

Distinctions between citizens solely because of their ancestry are by their very nature odious to a free people whose institutions are founded upon the doctrine of equality.

In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors since all men are equal but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors for from the time of Jefferson onward the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards not downwards.

We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place.

I think that the core doctrines of Christianity - the incarnation the resurrection life after death-these are as strong as ever. In fact the belief in life after death has increased in this century.

Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies.

Science cannot tell theology how to construct a doctrine of creation but you can't construct a doctrine of creation without taking account of the age of the universe and the evolutionary character of cosmic history.

The older I grow the more I distrust the familiar doctrine that age brings wisdom.
