Religion Quotes

Quotes About Religion 

  • Daniel Webster    ---  If religious books are not widely circulated among the masses in this country, I do not know what is going to become of us as a nation. If truth be not diffused, error will be; If God and His Word are not known and received, the devil and his works will gain the ascendancy, If the evangelical volume does not reach every hamlet, the pages of a corrupt and licentious literature will; If the power of the Gospel is not felt throughout the length and breadth of the land, anarchy and misrule, degradation and misery, corruption and darkness will reign without mitigation or end. (Earliest source, for a small part of this, is Essays, moral and religious, by Edward Thomson and Davis Wasgatt Clark, 1856, p. 213; the earliest version of the full wording appears to be in A dictionary of thoughts: being a cyclopedia of laconic quotations, 1891, p. 49).
  • May every citizen ... have a proper sense of the Deity upon his mind and an impression of the declaration recorded in the Bible, 'Him that honoreth Me I will honor, but he that despiseth Me shall be lightly esteemed.' --Samuel Adams
  • Religion fails if it cannot speak to men as they are. --William Barclay, Scottish Theologian (1907-1978)
  • The belief in a God All Powerful wise and good, is so essential to the moral order of the world and to the happiness of man, that arguments which enforce it cannot be drawn from too many sources nor adapted with too much solicitude to the different characters and capacities impressed with it. --James Madison
  • The general principles on which the fathers achieved independence were the general principles of Christianity. I will avow that I then believed, and now believe, that those general principles of Christianity are as eternal and immutable as the existence and attributes of God. --John Adams
  • The sacred rights of mankind are not to be rummaged for among parchments and musty records. They are written, as with a sunbeam, in the whole volume of human nature, by the Hand of Divinity itself, and can never be erased or obscured by mortal power. --Alexander Hamilton
  • This will be the best security for maintaining our liberties. A nation of well-informed men who have been taught to know and prize the rights which God has given them cannot be enslaved. It is in the religion of ignorance that tyranny begins. --Benjamin Franklin
  • While we are zealously performing the duties of good Citizens and soldiers we certainly ought not to be inattentive to the higher duties of Religion. To the distinguished Character of Patriot, it should be our highest Glory to add the more distinguished Character of Christian. --George Washington
  • Let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle. --George Washington
  • When I do good I feel good, when I do bad I feel bad, and that's my religion. --Abraham Lincoln

Religion
RELIGION, n. relij'on. [L. religio, from religo, to bind anew; re and ligo, to bind. This word seems originally to have signified an oath or vow to the gods, or the obligation of such an oath or vow, which was held very sacred by the Romans.]
1. Religion, in its most comprehensive sense, includes a belief in the being and perfections of God, in the revelation of his will to man, in man's obligation to obey his commands, in a state of reward and punishment, and in man's accountableness to God; and also true godliness or piety of life, with the practice of all moral duties. It therefore comprehends theology, as a system of doctrines or principles, as well as practical piety; for the practice of moral duties without a belief in a divine lawgiver, and without reference to his will or commands, is not religion.
2. Religion, as distinct from theology, is godliness or real piety in practice, consisting in the performance of all known duties to God and our fellow men, in obedience to divine command, or from love to God and his law. James 1.
3. Religion, as distinct from virtue, or morality, consists in the performance of the duties we owe directly to God, from a principle of obedience to his will. Hence we often speak of religion and virtue, as different branches of one system, or the duties of the first and second tables of the law.
Let us with caution indulge the supposition, that morality can be maintained without religion.
4. Any system of faith and worship. In this sense, religion comprehends the belief and worship of pagans and Mohammedans, as well as of christians; any religion consisting in the belief of a superior power or powers governing the world, and in the worship of such power or powers. Thus we speak of the religion of the Turks, of the Hindoos, of the Indians, &c. as well as of the christian religion. We speak of false religion, as well as of true religion.
5. The rites of religion; in the plural.

The Secret to Solving Problems is Asking for Help | MWM
https://youtu.be/RO_CuVue0fQ
Be Open, Authentic, And Honest = The second principle of problem solving is asking for help. None of us are as smart as all of us. When you ask others for help, who aren’t emotionally involved in your problem, you allow your problem to be seen objectively. This doesn’t diminish yourself in other’s eyes, it only diminishes the problem
The Secret To Solving Problems Is Asking For Help = The secret to solving problems is asking for help. When you ask for help, you receive help. Asking for help doesn’t show that you are a weak leader nor does it diminish yourself in the eyes of others, but it does diminish the problem, and your problem is solved quicker! So as leaders, remember it is always okay to ask for help.


https://youtu.be/HpETEYhCPgc

We are all in need of help from time-to-time. No one is immune to it—including leaders; especially leaders. Leaders are only as strong and successful as their team. Ask your people for help—big dreams require many hands. Your team is your “Rhonda.”

Bible Quotes

Quotes About the Bible
  • The Bible is worth all the other books which have ever been printed.  Patrick Henry
  • Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.  William Blake
  • First, open your heart, then open your Bible.  Rick Warren
  • The Bible tells us to forgive our enemies, not our friends  Margot Asquith
  • The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.  Joni Eareckson Tada
  • God has spoken through His word. God whispers in your soul and speaks to your mind. Sometimes when you don't have time to listen, He has to throw a brick at you. It's your choice: Listen to the whisper, or wait for the brick.
  • All things desirable to men are contained in the Bible. ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1809-1865)
  • Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years. Charles H. Spurgeon 
  • A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t. -- Charles H. Spurgeon
  • The Bible applied to the heart by the Holy Spirit, is the chief means by which men are built up and established in the faith, after their conversion. J. C. Ryle 
  • The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress. Billy Graham
  • The reading of all good books is like a conversation with the finest minds of past centuries. --RENE DESCARTES
  • It's not the parts of the Bible I don't understand that trouble me, it's the parts I do. - Mark Twain 
  • Daniel Webster, on June 17, 1843, at the Bunker Hill Monument in Charleston, Massachusetts, spoke these stirring words about our forefathers' reverence for the Bible: The Bible came with them. And it is not to be doubted, that to free and universal reading of the Bible, in that age, men were much indebted for right views of civil liberty. The Bible is a book of faith, and a book of doctrine, and a book of morals, and a book of religion, of special revelation from God; but it is also a book which teaches man his own individual responsibility, his own dignity, and his equality with his fellow-man.
















The Book That Taught John Maxwell Everything About Leadership | MWM
The Bible Teaches Leadership = The Bible is the greatest book ever written. It speaks to us where we live. We can learn everything we need to know about leadership from the Bible. 




The Proverb Challenge = John sets forth the Proverb Challenge—to spend one month reading one proverb per day, 31 proverbs in total. In that month, if you get a good business, life, leadership, or relationship thought—you will have developed more ideas and principles than before. It will change your life.

How Can You Value Someone Else Today? | MWM
https://youtu.be/PSbKDLpLAOM
Inspire Those Around You = Maxwell Leadership consists of people of value, who value others and add value to others. It is a daily discipline to value and add value to the people around us. When we value others, we increase the effectiveness of the people we serve. Today, go value someone and lift their intrinsic equity so they can become better and value someone else. 


Do For One What You Wish You Could Do for Everyone
Think Of Yourself Less = To be unselfish means to think of ourselves less. It does not mean thinking less of ourselves or being self-deprecating. When you begin living unselfishly, it can be emotionally overwhelming, but as Andy Stanley says, “Do for one what you wish you could do for anyone and everyone.” If you want to be a better servant leader, be unselfish and think of yourself less.
