We believe that in your province you have granted a second term to our president, George W. Bush, and our vice president, Richard Cheney,
But now we have a choice: whether to implode and disintegrate emotionally and spiritually as a people and a nation -- or, whether we choose to become stronger through all of this struggle -- to rebuild on a solid foundation. And I believe we are in the process of starting to rebuild on that foundation. That foundation is our trust in God.
The Information Highway intrigues me because I have always been a newshound; I have always been curious about why people believe what they believe.
I'm glad to know that we do have political leaders that believe in God, and that has been true from the days of George Washington.
I have never targeted Muslims. I have never targeted Jews. I believe that we should declare the fact that God loves you, God's willing to forgive you, God can change you, and Christ and his kingdom is open to anybody who repents and by faith receives him as lord and savior.
Jesus Christ is the greatest man in the history of the world. And to me, he's the greatest person in the history of mankind and the universe. We can't prove it, I can't put it in a test tube or in an astronomical formula, but by faith I believe it because the Bible teaches it.
Death is robbed of much of its terror for the true believer.
God will not force himself upon us against our will. If we want his love, we need to believe in him. We need to make a definite, positive act of commitment and surrender to the love of God. No one can do it for us.

I can't prove it scientifically, that there's a God, but I believe.
Those are decisions only the Lord will make. I believe the love of God is absolute. He said he gave his son for the whole world, and I think he loves everybody regardless of what label they have.
Some believe strongly that each Christian may have his own guardian angel assigned to watch over him or her.
I think that hell essentially is separation from God forever. And that is the worst hell that I can think of. But I think people have a hard time believing God is going to allow people to burn in literal fire forever. I think the fire that is mentioned in the Bible is a burning thirst for God that can never be quenched.
We can receive Jesus Christ when we believe in His message and trust in Him alone to save us.
