“Ukikasirika, aliyesababisha ukasirike ni Shetani aliyeko ndani yako; na ukiwa na furaha, aliyesababisha uwe na furaha ni Mungu aliyeko ndani yako.”

“And when we stand in the middle of whatever wilderness happens to be ours, we look around and ask, what plan got us here and what plan will get us out? The former is likely the product of our ignorant contrivances, while the latter is a formulation of God’s phenomenal genius. And have we ever considered that we might be in the wilderness because we’ve confused the two?”

“When people encounter you, let them taste your eternal destination, be a glimpse of heaven!”

“After all is said and done, those who give up everything for the gain of love will have much more than those who keep everything for the love of gain”

“Everything that God sends us is beautiful, even though we may not understand it – and we only need to give it some proper thought to see that what God gives is just sheer happiness; the suffering is what we add to it.”

“Whatever happened, he wasn’t just Mason anymore. He was Mason and something else. Like God’s older brother, who takes God’s money, steals his car, and fucks his girlfriend. That’s Mason now. A guy who isn’t afraid to pants God…”

“Oh God, look what you did.””God’s away on business, Kas. Talk to me.”

“If your conscience objects, surely God also objects since He is even greater.”

“kneel Your Grace,” he said curtly, “Unless you presume to tell a man of God that he may also fuck himself?”Rhian nearly lost her balance, coming off the last dais step.”

“Even if there can be the first cause of the Universe — God, it wouldn’t necessarily support any evidence that God can convey some information about his will to some chosen persons, that there is some holy scriptures, containing just God’s message to humanity sent in that way. Any information, which you can get from the alleged ‘holy scripture’, is a product of the human mind, written by humans and changed by humans in various periods.There is no invariant version of any ‘holy scripture’, even if the concepts and propositions of it formally remain the same, their meaning is changing constantly, as a result of different interpretations, from one civilization to another, from one period to another. That interpretation is more essential and decisive than what is formally written there. Not ‘holy scripture’ itself, but its interpretation manipulates brains in such a way that a person builds his religious vision on the basis of the interpretation of ‘holy scripture’ made by somebody else. Without that interpretation, a person can hardly perceive anything in ‘holy scripture’ in terms of religion. But the main problem is that there cannot be only one interpretation of ‘holy scripture’, and there cannot be harmony among various religious visions, even within one religion. One interpretation can make you be humanist, while another — aggressive, depending on who and how interpreted what is written there. The naked truth is that when someone interprets something, he does it according to his mental apparatus, that is why any ‘holy scripture’ can only express the state of this mental apparatus with its cognitive and emotional bias, in some cases even its serious defect and disorder, and not the will of God itself.”

“Faith is a key that unlocks the treasure house of God that is stocked with answered prayers. Faith is a conduit that carries the presence and power of God right into the midst of his people. Faith is a difference-maker, a future-shaper, a bondage-breaker, a Kingdom-mover.”

“—¿Cómo puede creer en demonios y no preocuparse por ellos? Es como saber que fuera hay un lobo que te quiere matar y que ese detalle no te importe. No tiene sentido.—Es porque también creo en Dios y estoy convencido de que es más fuerte.”

“We are all Believers (searching) for meaning,and Sexual (with desire) for a reason,and Crazy (by degrees) for Love”

“To confess?! But what if the priest snitched me to God?”
