Faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to.
God's got something for me. I have faith it'll be OK.
It would make life much easier if I could have total faith and not question everything all the time but I can't do it and I won't do it.
Faith is not trying to believe something regardless of the evidence. Faith is daring to do something regardless of the consequences.
I will always try to share my faith with any person who is willing to listen. When I feel a wall go up we can talk about something else... and I will pray for you.
The civil rights movement was based on faith. Many of us who were participants in this movement saw our involvement as an extension of our faith. We saw ourselves doing the work of the Almighty. Segregation and racial discrimination were not in keeping with our faith so we had to do something.
It is something that is called MDS. It is a rare blood disorder that affects the bone marrow. I'm going to beat this. My doctors say it and my faith says it.
It just took all of that to come to a screeching halt to get to the point of having nothing for me to finally realize Hey what are you fighting with this for? Until then I hadn't claimed my faith as my own I had just grown up with it.
The New Right in many cases is doing nothing less than placing a heretical claim on Christian faith that distorts confuses and destroys the opportunity for a biblical understanding of Jesus Christ and of his gospel for millions of people.
A few years ago you couldn't go from TV to film. It was like a 'no no' but I believe when you find a plan and purpose that God has for your life there's not anything man can do to you. Especially when your faith is not really standing in the wisdom of man you're really standing in the wisdom of God.
The great thing is that whether we have faith or not we are by and large very tolerant of people whatever their particular view.
When you have put all your faith in man and continue to be disappointed don't you hope there is something out of there that is not of human element?
Faith is the response to something which is calling us from the timeless part of our reality.
Often we are quick to find blame with others but yet are unable to give constructive responses. There seems to be a tendency to doubt almost everything. Do we not have faith in our own people's strengths and in our institutions? Can we afford distrust amongst ourselves?
Well I affirm orthodox Christian faith. I affirm the Nicene Creed. I don't think I'm doing anything terribly new.
At issue in the Hiss Case was the question whether this sick society which we call Western civilization could in its extremity still cast up a man whose faith in it was so great that he would voluntarily abandon those things which men hold good including life to defend it.
One of the joys of being a Christian or being a person of faith is that you believe deep down that death isn't the worst thing you know. Not living your life: that's the worst thing. And death is not it's not all it's cracked up to be. It's not it's not the end of the world.
Well you have to keep your faith in the fact that there are a lot of intelligent people who are actively looking for something interesting people who have been disappointed so many times.

I think it's a good thing for a president or political leaders to want to put their values or their faith into action. Desmond Tutu did that in South Africa. Martin Luther King Jr. did that here. This is a good thing.
I met the president when he was president-elect at a meeting in Austin. He spoke of his faith. He spoke of his desire for a compassionate conservatism for a faith-based initiative that would do something for poor people.

I have faith in the justice system and what will happen will happen. I'm just trying to do the right thing.
To have faith is to believe in truth believe that truth confers special power on those lucky enough to get a little insight and to know in our hearts that all these things come from God which is why we should never get too cocky about our successes.
