Don't let past mistakes keep you from seeking God
You can't change your past but you can change you destiny but deciding for Christ.
Guy Lafleur said "Each of us has only one past but there are many futures".
As a Christian I have hope not just for this life but for Heaven and the life to come. And many of those people who died this past week are in Heaven right now. And they wouldn't want to come back; it's so glorious and so wonderful. And that's the hope for all of us who put our faith in God. I pray that you will have this hope in your heart.
If we fail to solve this moral and spiritual crisis we may be doomed like the great nations of the past.
Some of the greatest spiritual revivals in the past occurred just when the situation seemed to be the darkest. In the history of our own nation, for example, countless thousands turned to Christ during the darkest days of the Civil War, setting the stage for national reconciliation later on.

We are not responsible for the past generation, and we cannot bear the full responsibility for the next one; but we do have our generation. God will hold us responsible as to how well we fulfill our responsibilities to this age and take advantage of our opportunities.
In one bold stroke, forgiveness obliterates the past and permits us to enter the land of new beginnings.
Don't apologize for who you are and what you've done in the past. Be who you are and do what you do.
I haven't been faithful to my own advice in the past. I will in the future.
The Church has lost a great warrior and the country has lost a great patriot who will long be remembered, ... He was a bold and courageous man who stood firmly for what he believed.
I'm thankful for the news of the Exhibition of the Bible that will be brought to the United States. We certainly are delighted that it is going to take place and we will be praying for its success.
When I reached about 80, my physical world turned upside down,
Transcendental meditation is evil because when you are meditating, it opens space within you for the devil to enter.
