Do not fear lest you should meditate too much upon Him and speak of Him in an unworthy way providing you are led by faith. Do not fear lest you should entertain false opinions of Him so long as they are in conformity with the notion of the infinitely perfect Being.
I have a Christian worldview and so it shapes the way that I view issues. I don't apologize for that and I don't think people of faith ought to shrink away from being in the public arena.
One of the joys of being a Christian or being a person of faith is that you believe deep down that death isn't the worst thing you know. Not living your life: that's the worst thing. And death is not it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's not it's not the end of the world.

It is no longer a question of a Christian going about to convert others to the faith but of each one being ready to listen to the other and so to grow together in mutual understanding.
I think you grow wherever God plants you. I hope I'm growing as a person of faith as a Christian. That should be our number one objective this journey of life. That all starts with a personal intimate relationship with Christ and then being in prayer every single day about all of those things - being tenacious about it.
Faith is the state of being ultimately concerned.
I feel no need for any other faith than my faith in the kindness of human beings. I am so absorbed in the wonder of earth and the life upon it that I cannot think of heaven and angels.
Faith is an act of a finite being who is grasped by and turned to the infinite.
The separation of church and state is a source of strength but the conscience of our nation does not call for separation between men of state and faith in the Supreme Being.
If we were logical the future would be bleak indeed. But we are more than logical. We are human beings and we have faith and we have hope and we can work.
Although a man may wear fine clothing if he lives peacefully and is good self-possessed has faith and is pure and if he does not hurt any living being he is a holy man.
Faith consists in being vitally concerned with that ultimate reality to which I give the symbolical name of God. Whoever reflects earnestly on the meaning of life is on the verge of an act of faith.
Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes I do.
Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far but none comes further.
God... a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man's power to conceive.
