God does not give us salvation because we believe. Our believing is only the normal way of receiving the salvation he freely gives.
I do believe God has given me an incredible opportunity and a platform in a secular environment but still to take a stand for Christ and being a blessing to believers.
I'm an optimist in the sense that I believe humans are noble and honorable, and some of them are really smart. I have a very optimistic view of individuals.
Knowledge, may it be said, is higher than magic and is more to be sought. It is quite possible to see what is happening and yet not know what is forward, for while seeing is believing, it does not follow that either seeing or believing is knowing.
It's fair to characterise me as competitive and determined, but anyone who works with me will attest to the fact I believe very strongly in the notion of servant leadership.
At the end the day because I believe so strongly in leadership, what I look for first, what I try to assess, is integrity.
I believe my father has and always will be the strongest influence in my life, as he has guided me on many paths.
I'm prepared to spend the rest of my life playing clubs, if that means I'm playing music that I believe in.
Over the years I've seen people lose a spouse and then withdraw and lose interest in life, and I believe we need to resist that.
I am pro-life, I believe in exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. That's my position, take it or leave it.
No, no, it was the relationships. That was that group. People believed that Rob and Laura were really married in real life. You know, a lot of people believed that.
I can tell you, honest friend, what to believe: believe life; it teaches better that book or orator.
Really, as a writer, I believe that if you're going to write about your own life, you need to do it as honestly and candidly as you are capable.
I've always taken 'The Wizard of Oz' very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I've spent my entire life trying to get over it.
'Catcher in the Rye' changed my life when I was a kid. I read it as I was a boy turning into a man, and I was so fascinated by the values. I believe in it.
I believe you are your work. Don't trade the stuff of your life, time, for nothing more than dollars. That's a rotten bargain.
I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.
My life is storytelling. I believe in stories, in their incredible power to keep people alive, to keep the living alive, and the dead.
I love making people laugh and by the way I still do that with the charitable efforts on my part because I believe that people need to laugh.
I'm still Christian. I was not raised in a Christian church to hate people. I was taught to love people and accept people. I know what I believe.
I believe that you are only in control of so much. So whatever you are not in control of you can't worry about.
