We should go into His presence as a child goes to his father. We do it with reverence and godly fear, of course, but we should go with a childlike confidence and simplicity. ~ David Lloyd-Jones
Godly quotes by David Lloyd-Jones
If you want to live a godly life, then choose to put the things into your mind that lead to living a godly life. ~ Elizabeth George
Godly quotes by Elizabeth George
They who prematurely put themselves forward to root out whatever is displeasing to them overthrow the judgment of God and rashly intrude upon the office of angels. ~ John Calvin
Godly quotes by John Calvin
If I give with the motive to get, regardless of the degree to which that motive besets me, I will walk away impoverished and I will leave those to whom I have given just as impoverished as I have now found myself. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Godly quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
It is an infallible truth that if we do not fear God, we will be afraid of Him at the revelation of His glory, for every knee shall bow to Him, if not out of godly fear then out of terror ~ John Bevere
Godly quotes by John Bevere
Only recently, the word scientist had been coined, by the polymath William Whewell. Many scholars had objected to this blunt new term, as it sounded so sinisterly similar to that awful word atheist; why not simply continue to call themselves natural philosophers? Was that designation not more godly, more pure? But divisions were being drawn now between the realm of nature and the realm of philosophy. Ministers who doubled as botanists or geologists were becoming increasingly rare, as far too many challenges to biblical truths were stirred up through investigation of the natural world. It used to be that God was revealed in the wonders of nature; now God was being challenged by those same wonders. Scholars were now required to choose one side or the other. As ~ Elizabeth Gilbert
Godly quotes by Elizabeth Gilbert
One of the significant facts about the moment of birth is that it is an unconscious moment. No one ever knows when he is being born that the event is actually taking place, and sometimes we don't find out about it until quite a long time afterward. Sometimes, we never do really find out that we have been born. So frequently, we don't know why we were born; we don't know where we came from; we don't know what the purpose of life is; nor do we understand the possibilities of our godly destiny. ~ Sterling W. Sill
Godly quotes by Sterling W. Sill
He made a pit and digged it. He was cunning in his plans and industrious in his labors. He stooped to the dirty work of digging. He did not fear to soil his own hands. He was willing to work in a ditch if others might fall therein. What mean things men will do to wreak revenge on the godly. They hunt for good men as if they were brute beasts - they that will not give them the fair chase afforded to the hare or the fox, but must secretly entrap them because they can neither run them down nor shoot them down. Our enemies will not meet us to the face for they fear us as much as they pretend to despise us. But let us look on to the end of the scene. The verse says he has fallen into the ditch that he has made. Ah, there he is. Let us laugh at his disappointment. Lo, he is himself the beast. He has hunted his own soul. The chase has brought him a goodly victim. So should it ever be. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Godly quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
As the wicked are hurt by the best things, so the godly are bettered by the worst. ~ William Jenkyn
Godly quotes by William Jenkyn
The way two people can end up in the same place, find each other in a crowd, and change their lives and the lives of the people around them forever ... It makes you believe in fate. And fate gives love some authority. Like it's been stamped with approval from above, if you believe in above. A godly green light. Some destined significance. ~ Deb Caletti
Godly quotes by Deb Caletti
Prayer makes a godly man, and puts within him "the mind of Christ," the mind of humility, of self-surrender, of service, of pity, and of prayer. If we really pray, we will become more like God, or else we will quit praying. ~ Edward McKendree Bounds
Godly quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
Ants - the pious insect, Randolph called them: they fill me with oh so much admiration and ah oh so much gloom: such puritan spirit in their mindless march of Godly industry, but can so anti-individual a government admit the poetry of what is past understanding? Certainly the man who refused to carry his crumb would find assassins on his trail, and doom in every smile. As for me, I prefer the solitary mole: he is no rose dependent upon thorn and root, nor ant whose time of being is organized by the analterable herd: sightless, he goes his separate way, knowing truth and freedom are attitudes of the spirit. ~ Truman Capote
Godly quotes by Truman Capote
Watching It Happen

I laze about, deranged and unafraid
to godly kiss you, kiss the pharmacist
that whipped you, undilute, to dilate high
your animus of lime and lye.

I know of an upstairs hell.
A creamy, vascular thump
through bonus years of things that pass
and things that do not move.
Your cellular mouth. Your mess
of inattention. Now that none
of us are good looking I think
that/they are right.

Strokes of light you taped across my nipple.
Patterns staked to fake the love
we cannot feel so slick the miser
of your hand through my bad heart.
Genius, you are blond enough.
Once in a while.

And in the end, when I sweep coolly up
and will not be drawn back,
then I will tell you of it. How I can.
In writing, I am making an attempt
to depict my beautiful nose
through imagery.

I will tell you of it. Once in a while.
I will miss you. And the tape.
To be flung down,
petals from a balcony. ~ Elaine Kahn
Godly quotes by Elaine Kahn
God works to over throw the ungodly, and increasingly the world will come under the dominion of Christians, not by military aggression, but by godly labor, saving, in vestment, and orientation toward the future ... This is where history is going. The future belongs to the people of God, who obey His laws ~ David Chilton
Godly quotes by David Chilton
Every woman whether rich or poor, married or single, has a circle of influence within which, according to her character, she is exerting a certain amount of power for good or harm. Every woman, by her virtue or her vice, by her folly or her wisdom, by her levity or her dignity, is adding something to our national elevation or degradation. A community is not likely to be overthrown where woman fulfills her mission, for by the power of her noble heart over the hearts of others, she will raise that community from its ruins and restore it again to prosperity and joy. ~ John Angell James
Godly quotes by John Angell James
When we tell people that God will do this and that without teaching people how to do their best, we are doing a disservice to them. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Godly quotes by Sunday Adelaja
There are no human gods here, just hoods who think they are. ~ Fakeer Ishavardas
Godly quotes by Fakeer Ishavardas
Godly fear is loving and trusting in Him. As we fear God more completely, we love Him more perfectly. And "perfect love casteth out all fear." I promise the bright light of godly fear will chase away the dark shadows of mortal fears as we look to the Savior, build upon Him as our foundation, and press forward on His covenant path with consecrated commitment. ~ David A. Bednar
Godly quotes by David A. Bednar
Forgiveness is not forgetting; it is simply denying your pain the right to control your life. Corallie Buchanan, Watch Out! Godly Women on the Loose ~ Suzanne Eller
Godly quotes by Suzanne Eller
Our forefathers got it; they got it, man. They took godly principles and they put them into action, and they developed our Constitution - the land of freedom where each man is accountable and responsible for his actions. ~ Luke Scott
Godly quotes by Luke Scott
The greatest men stand on their values and pray on their knees. ~ Craig D. Lounsbrough
Godly quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough
A godly man is never threatened by the gifts of a godly woman. ~ Rick Warren
Godly quotes by Rick Warren
Now the things done may not be evil or improper; they in fact may be good and godly (such as reading the Bible, praying, worshiping, preaching); but if they are not undertaken in a spirit of complete reliance upon the Holy Spirit, then the flesh is the source of all. The old creation is willing to do anything-even to submit to God - if only it is permitted to live and to be active. ~ Watchman Nee
Godly quotes by Watchman Nee
11For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. 12It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13while we wait for the blessed hope - the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

15These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you. ~ Titus
Godly quotes by Titus
The study of the Bible is a post-graduate course in the richest library of human experience. ~ Herbert Hoover
Godly quotes by Herbert Hoover
The role of godly parents is to make sure that the hearts and minds of their children are saturated with the Word of God. ~ Elizabeth George
Godly quotes by Elizabeth George
No system of education is complete that does not harden the hands and toughen muscles, while it is also develops the intellect and enlarges the heart ... only through work do we attain the true symmetry, strength, and glory of godly manhood and womanhood. ~ Alexander Clark
Godly quotes by Alexander Clark
If God has called you, do not spend time looking over your shoulder to see who is following you. ~ Corrie Ten Boom
Godly quotes by Corrie Ten Boom
If you want to know if I'm a Godly man, follow me home. ~ Andy Stanley
Godly quotes by Andy Stanley
Amd I am not blind to the fact that I have been given gifts you never had. Living a godly life was expected on me, and it was an easy path for me to follow. No one ever had such expectations of you. For you to embrace the Lord at this point in your life would be nothing short of heroic, Alex. It would take an act of such strength and courage that it would be humbling for all who have ever know you. You can begin building a life of valor today. ~ Elizabeth Camden
Godly quotes by Elizabeth Camden
If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it. ~ Stephen Colbert
Godly quotes by Stephen Colbert
The Holy Ghost causes out feelings to be more tender. We feel more charitable and compassionate. We are calmer. We have a greater capacity to love. People want to be around us because our very countenances radiate the influence of the Spirit. We are more godly in character. As a result, we are more sensitive to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and thus able to comprehend spiritual things. ~ Ezra Taft Benson
Godly quotes by Ezra Taft Benson
Miracle is the ability God has given you. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Godly quotes by Sunday Adelaja
So Janie began to think of Death. Death, that strange being with the huge square toes who lived way in the West. The great one who lived in the straight house like a platform without sides to it, and without a roof. What need has Death for a cover, and what winds can blow against him? He stands in his high house that overlooks the world. Stands watchful and motionless all day with his sword drawn back, waiting for the messenger to bid him come. Been standing there before there was a where or a when or a then. She was liable to find a feather from his wings lying in her yard any day now. She was sad and afraid too. Poor Jody! He ought not to have to wrassle in there by himself. She sent Sam in to suggest a visit, but Jody said No. These medical doctors wuz all right with the Godly sick, but they didn't know a thing about a case like his. He'd be all right just as soon as the two-headed man found what had been buried against him. He wasn't going to die at all. That was what he thought. But Sam told her different, so she knew. And then if he hadn't the next morning she was bound to know, for people began to gather in the big yard under the palm and china-berry trees. People who would not have dared to foot the place before crept in and did not come to the house. Just squatted under the trees and waited. Rumor, that wingless bird, had shadowed over the town. ~ Zora Neale Hurston
Godly quotes by Zora Neale Hurston
Without faith nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible. ~ Mary McLeod Bethune
Godly quotes by Mary McLeod Bethune
Time well spent leads to life well lived. ~ Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
Godly quotes by Martin Uzochukwu Ugwu
A nation is blessed when it has godly leaders. ~ Max Lucado
Godly quotes by Max Lucado
Let's stop pushing our responsibility on God, it is no more His responsibility but our responsibility. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Godly quotes by Sunday Adelaja
We need to make sure we are not analyzing the events in our lives from a secular, human, worldly point of view rather than from a divine, spiritual, godly point of view. ~ Tony Evans
Godly quotes by Tony Evans
There are certain men who are sacrosanct in history; you touch on the truth of them at your peril. These are such men as Socrates and Plato, Pericles and Alexander, Caesar and Augustus, Marcus Aurelius and Trajan, Martel and Charlemagne, Edward the Confessor and William of Falaise, St. Louis and Richard and Tancred, Erasmus and Bacon, Galileo and Newton, Voltaire and Rousseau, Harvey and Darwin, Nelson and Wellington. In America, Penn and Franklin, Jefferson and Jackson and Lee. There are men better than these who are not sacrosanct, who may be challenged freely. But these men may not be. Albert Pike has been elevated to this sacrosanct company, though of course to a minor rank. To challenge his rank is to be overwhelmed by a torrent of abuse, and we challenge him completely.

Looks are important to these elevated. Albert Pike looked like Michelangelo's Moses in contrived frontier costume. Who could distrust that big man with the great beard and flowing hair and godly glance?
If you dislike the man and the type, then he was pompous, empty, provincial and temporal, dishonest, and murderous. But if you like the man and the type, then he was impressive, untrammeled, a man of the right place and moment, flexible or sophisticated, and firm.
These are the two sides of the same handful of coins.
He stole (diverted) Indian funds and used them to bribe doubtful Indian leaders. He ordered massacres of women and children (exemplary punitive operations). He lied ~ R.A. Lafferty
Godly quotes by R.A. Lafferty
The church growth movement has made many lasting contributions to our practice of ministry. But its overemphasis on technique and results can put too much pressure on ministers because it underemphasizes the importance of godly character and the sovereignty of God. ~ Timothy Keller
Godly quotes by Timothy Keller
When Heaven has an earthquake you fall to your knees and feel through the rubble to find the pieces of God. When my eternal, temple-blessed marriage shattered and everything that had been meaningful lay in jumbled shards around me, I had to slowly and carefully pick up every single piece and examine it, turning it over and over, to see if it was worthy to keep and to use in building a new house of meaning. As I gathered the broken pieces of God, I used only my own authority, only my own relationship with the divine, and the good, small voice that speaks inside me, to appraise them. I threw away many, and I kept many, assembling the bright pieces into One Great Thought. I asked only, "Do I see God's fingerprints on this? Does this little piece feel godly? Does it speak of love?" That made it easy. I was forever finished with the insane attempt to love a God who hurts me. When I picked up the little pieces of God-ordained polygamy, I smiled because there was no question. I thanked the God of Love, and threw that piece away. ~ Carol Lynn Pearson
Godly quotes by Carol Lynn Pearson
Falling in love in a Christian way is to say,'I am excited about your future and I want to be part of getting you there. I'm signing up for the journey with you. Would you sign up for the journey to my true self with me? It's going to be hard but I want to get there. ~ Timothy Keller
Godly quotes by Timothy Keller
These educated parents subjected the poor five-year old girl to every possible torture. They beat her, flogged her, kicked her, not knowing why themselves, until her whole body was nothing but bruises; finally they attained the height of finesse: in the freezing cold, they locked her all night in the outhouse, because she wouldn't ask to get up and go in the middle of the night (as if a five-year-old child sleeping its sound angelic sleep could have learned to ask by that age)--for that they smeared her face with her excrement and made her eat the excrement, and it was her mother, her mother who made her! And this mother could sleep while her poor little child was moaning all night in that vile place! Can you understand that a small creature, who cannot even comprehend what is being done to her, in a vile place, in the dark and the cold, beats herself on her strained little chest with her tiny fist and weeps with her anguished, gentle, meek tears for 'dear God' to protect her--can you understand such nonsense, my friend and my brother, my godly and humble novice, can you understand why this nonsense is needed and created? Without it, they say, man could not even have lived on earth, for he would not have known good and evil. Who wants to know this damned good and evil at such a price? The whole world of knowledge is not worth the tears of that little child to 'dear God.' I'm not talking about the suffering of grown-ups, they ate the apple and to hell with them, let the devil ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Godly quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
In my heart I do have a fear...I long to grow more godly with each passing day. Call it "the fear of the Lord," being in awe of Him and scared to death of any sin that would mar my life. ~ Anne Ortlund
Godly quotes by Anne Ortlund
I had vehement longings of soul after God and Christ, and after more holiness,
wherewith my heart seemed to be full, and ready to break ... I spent
most of my time in thinking of divine things, year after year; often walking
alone in the woods, and solitary places, for meditation, soliloquy, and
prayer, and converse with God; and it was always my manner, at such times,
to sing forth my contemplations ... Prayer seemed to be natural to me, as
the breath by which the inward burnings of my heart had vent. ~ Jonathan Edwards
Godly quotes by Jonathan Edwards
The way to be truly happy is to be truly human, and the way to be truly human is to be truly godly. ~ J.I. Packer
Godly quotes by J.I. Packer
Most people do not realize that there was a paid chaplain in Congress even before the Revolutionary War ended. ~ Francis Schaeffer
Godly quotes by Francis Schaeffer
God Almighty created each and every one of use for a place in the world, and for the least of us to think that we were created only to be what we are and not what we can make ourselves, is to impute an improper motive to the Creator for creating is. ~ Marcus Garvey
Godly quotes by Marcus Garvey
Becoming a godly wife is not about following a bunch of rules... If I am feeling overwhelmed and overburdened, I am probably trying to do this in my power, apart from the Spirit's strength. ~ April Cassidy
Godly quotes by April Cassidy
The godly are designed for unknown and inconceivable happiness. ~ Jonathan Edwards
Godly quotes by Jonathan Edwards
The most godly Christian is the one who knows himself best, and no one who knows himself will believe that he deserves anything better than hell. ~ A.W. Tozer
Godly quotes by A.W. Tozer
My wife Ruth once said, If our children have the background of a godly, happy home and this unshakeable faith that the Bible is indeed the Word of God, they will have a foundation that the forces of hell cannot shake. ~ Billy Graham
Godly quotes by Billy Graham
We are all frail-embodied creatures, who at times suffer through injustice, abuse, illness, pain and misfortune. ~ Bryant McGill
Godly quotes by Bryant McGill
Your story will never be told correctly if your tale is only known by the Un-Godly. Avoid the scornful and pursue the light. ~ Troy Gathers
Godly quotes by Troy Gathers
16 When the wicked are in authority, sin flourishes, but the godly will live to see their downfall. ~ Anonymous
Godly quotes by Anonymous
Lord, help my children to make godly friends. I know that You brought us here and You will not leave my children forsaken. I'm concerned that in their need for acceptance they'll end up with friends whose moral standards are not as high as Yours. Bring godly role models into their lives. ~ Stormie O'martian
Godly quotes by Stormie O'martian
If people want to simulate a godly lifestyle - great. If they don't - good luck with that. ~ Jase Robertson
Godly quotes by Jase Robertson
The disease of the soul is both more common and more deadly than the disease of the body. Just as medicine is the art devoted to healing the body, so philosophy is the art devoted to healing the soul, curing it of improper emotions, false beliefs, and faulty judgments, which are the causes of so much hardship and handicap. To heal the body one turns to the practitioner of the art of healing the body, but to heal the soul there is no doctor to turn to, and each of us is left to become that doctor unto himself. Yet, this need not stop us from exhorting others to imitate us in the godly art, in the forlorn hope that they might transform themselves into better citizens for Athens and better companions for us. ~ Neel Burton
Godly quotes by Neel Burton
There will never be peace until God's house and God's people are given their rightful place of leadership at the top of the world. How can there be peace when drunkards, drug dealers, communists, atheists, New Age worshipers of Satan, secular humanists, oppressive dictators, greedy money changers, revolutionary assassins, adulterers, and homosexuals are on top ... There is absolutely no way that government can operate successfully unless led by godly men and women operating under the laws of the God of Jacob ~ Pat Robertson
Godly quotes by Pat Robertson
The godly care for their animals, but the wicked are always cruel. ~ Anonymous
Godly quotes by Anonymous
He underlines the solemn truth that even in the highest religious positions men may degenerate into crass materialists living only for today. Proximity to sacred things does not of itself make a man holy. A sacred office may not give rise to sacred thoughts and a godly life. ~ Leslie Hardinge
Godly quotes by Leslie Hardinge
Recently, a professor at Penn State told my son Joshua's class that during a trip to Africa, he had a mysterious encounter with a witch doctor of a tribe. He watched with horror as this witch doctor put a man into a trance and made the man put his face into burning coals and move them around with his nose on the ground. The man received no burns and wasn't even aware of the sensation of burning his flesh. The professor, being a committed naturalist, had no way to understand this obviously satanic phenomena. His scientific model didn't include any supernatural cause, whether it be godly or satanic. He admitted this fact to the class. He said that he saw what happened yet he did not believe it, because he couldn't fit it into what he called his scientific model . . . If their presuppositions rule out the supernatural, that is that! There is no more. ~ Jack Cuozzo
Godly quotes by Jack Cuozzo
28Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we lmay serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. ~ Anonymous
Godly quotes by Anonymous
The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God's life in us expresses itself as God's life, not as human life trying to be godly. ~ Oswald Chambers
Godly quotes by Oswald Chambers
Gullibility and credulity are considered undesireable qualities in every department of human life - except religion ... Why are we praised by godly men for surrendering our 'godly gift' of reason when we cross their mental thresholds? ~ Christopher Hitchens
Godly quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I believe we are our own inner hand - the godly power resides within each of us to create the lives we desire - no matter what the challenges! ~ Karen Salmansohn
Godly quotes by Karen Salmansohn
Unique among the nations, America recognized the source of our character as being godly and eternal, not being civic and temporal. And because we have understood that our source is eternal, America has been different. We have no king but Jesus. ~ John Ashcroft
Godly quotes by John Ashcroft
God talks to His people-to each one of us-through His Word, through the counsel of godly friends, and through the Holy Spirit. ~ Sheila Walsh
Godly quotes by Sheila Walsh
What we are fighting isn't godlessness
this is the most godly country on earth. We aren't even fighting disease. Its poverty. Money for food, medicines ... that helps. When we cannot cure or save a life, our patients can at least feel cared for. It should be a basic human right. ~ Abraham Verghese
Godly quotes by Abraham Verghese
While you wait for your godly man, you should maintain the posture of a well-kept woman [ ... ] The person should add to, not take away from, your life. You maintain who you are and allow God to be picky for you. ~ Michelle McKinney Hammond
Godly quotes by Michelle McKinney Hammond
We did not lack for religious leaders to urge us into "godly" war [ ... ]. All of this was part of a well-financed propaganda campaign on the part of British agents. As usual, the government of the United States was being "run" by the British Secret Intelligence Service. ~ Eustace Mullins
Godly quotes by Eustace Mullins
Don't restrain yourself to mundaneness. You're subject to consciousness that makes you more than animalistic. ~ T.F. Hodge
Godly quotes by T.F. Hodge
The plain, unvarnished truth is that public education is a shoddy, fraudulent piece of goods sold t to the public at an astronomical price. It's time the American consumer knew the extent of the fraud which is victimizing millions of children each year. ~ Samuel Blumenfeld
Godly quotes by Samuel Blumenfeld
chopped those onions With my own ex-godly hands You'd better eat them BEING ~ Rick Riordan
Godly quotes by Rick Riordan
Frenzy, the counterfeit of fervency, is a contrived attempt to simulate godly fervor. Those who deliberately manipulate
people's emotions are served warning here. There is something holy, something sovereign, about genuine spiritual fervor that cannot be manufactured artificially. It is easy to confuse frenzy and fervor, but the confusion is deadly. ~ R.C. Sproul
Godly quotes by R.C. Sproul
Ladies, use a loving voice, use a respectful voice, use a godly voice, but don't lose your voice. ~ Mark Driscoll
Godly quotes by Mark Driscoll
It is one of the perils of our so-called civilized age that we do not yet acknowledge enough, or cherish enough, this connection between soul and landscape - between our own best possibilities, and the view from our own windows. We need the world as much as it needs us, and we need it in privacy, intimacy, and surety. We need the field from which the lark rises - bird that is more than itself, that is the voice of the universe: vigorous, godly job. Without the physical world such hope it: hacked off. Is: dried up. Without wilderness no fish could leap and flash, no deer could bound soft as eternal waters over the field; no bird could open its wings and become buoyant, adventurous, valorous beyond even the plan of nature. Nor could we. ~ Mary Oliver
Godly quotes by Mary Oliver
Our problems could be higher than the mountain but the God we serve is the most high God, in Him all things are possible. ~ Euginia Herlihy
Godly quotes by Euginia Herlihy
God is looking for godly people to send to the world of finances to subdue it for him. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Godly quotes by Sunday Adelaja
It is God who does miracles, not your works, religiosity. ~ Sunday Adelaja
Godly quotes by Sunday Adelaja
A godly man in the midst of the waves and storms that he meets with can see the glory of heaven before him and so contents himself. One drop of the sweetness of heaven is enough to take away all the sourness and bitterness of all the afflictions in the world. We know that one drop of sourness, or one drop of gall will make bitter a great deal of it; but if you put a spoonful of gall into a cup of sugar, it will embitter that. Now it is otherwise in heaven: one drop of sweetness will sweeten a great deal of sour affliction, but a great deal of sourness and gall will not embitter a soul who sees the glory of heaven that is to come. ~ Jeremiah Burroughs
Godly quotes by Jeremiah Burroughs
The Bible's picture of a godly leader also describes the godly home: "A shelter from the wind and a refuge from the storm, like streams of water in the desert and the shadow of a great rock" (Isaiah 32:2). May that be true of your home. ~ Billy Graham
Godly quotes by Billy Graham
Grant that I may worship and pray unto Thee with as much reverence and godly fear, as if I saw the heavens open and all the angels that stand around Thy throne. Amen. ~ William Law
Godly quotes by William Law
Don't let yourself forget that God's grace rewards not only those who never slip, but also those who bend and fall. So sing! The song of rejoicing softens hard hearts. It makes tears of godly sorrow flow from them. Singing summons the Holy Spirit. Happy praises offered in simplicity and love lead the faithful to complete harmony, without discord. Don't stop singing. ~ Hildegard Of Bingen
Godly quotes by Hildegard Of Bingen
Daniel and his companions were tempted to forsake their godly heritage but they refused. They even faced a fiery furnace rather than compromise. ~ Billy Graham
Godly quotes by Billy Graham
Lord, I turn to You for all wisdom, direction, and guidance. Where I must seek advice from another person, help me to know when that person speaks from godly knowledge and when this is not the case. Help me to always test the input of others with Your Word. I want You to be my ultimate source for all knowledge. ~ Stormie O'martian
Godly quotes by Stormie O'martian
The becoming attitude for us to take is that of godly fear, implicit obedience, and unreserved resignation and submission. But not only so: the recognition of the sovereignty of God, and the realization that the Sovereign Himself is my Father, ought to overwhelm the heart and cause me to bow before Him in adoring worship. At all times I must say Even so, Father, for so it seemeth good in Thy sight. ~ Arthur W. Pink
Godly quotes by Arthur W. Pink
If you wonder why you choose to worship other gods rather than wholeheartedly devote yourself to the Lord you love, examine the thought and desires that captivate your heart. That's where you'll fin the answer to every sin and failure in your life. Don't be deceived into thinking that you need to develop more willpower. We need to develop godly thoughts and desires. ~ Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Godly quotes by Elyse M. Fitzpatrick
Keep company with the more cheerful sort of the Godly; there is no mirth like the mirth of believers. ~ Richard Baxter
Godly quotes by Richard Baxter
The spiritual heritage of the godly lives on after they are gone. ~ Max Anders
Godly quotes by Max Anders
When you have a godly husband, a godly wife, children who respect their parents and who are loved by their parents, who provide for those children their physical and spiritual and material needs, lovingly, you have the ideal unit. ~ Jerry Falwell
Godly quotes by Jerry Falwell
Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise. ~ Thomas Watson
Godly quotes by Thomas Watson
When a man is getting better he understands more and more clearly the evil that is still left in him. When a man is getting worse he understands his own badness less and less. ~ C.S. Lewis
Godly quotes by C.S. Lewis
A godly mother loves God with all her heart, soul, mind, and strength, and teaches her children to do the same. ~ Elizabeth George
Godly quotes by Elizabeth George
This is an illustrious example which reminds us that good and saintly men sometimes run into the greatest of misfortunes and dangers not through their own but by someone else's fault. To the others, indeed, who are involved in the same danger no way of salvation or liberation appears, but they think that all is lost. But because there are some godly men, or only one godly man, in the same ship, the ship must reach port safe and sound, however much it has been tossed about by a heavy storm, even though a thousand devils have been fighting in opposition and causing tumult in the same ship. ~ Martin Luther
Godly quotes by Martin Luther
I am not a perfect servant. I am a public servant doing my best against the odds. As I develop and serve, be patient. God is not finished with me yet. ~ Jesse Jackson
Godly quotes by Jesse Jackson
Work in me more profound and abiding repentance;
Give me the fullness of godly grief, that trembles and fears, yet ever trust and loves, which is ever powerful, and ever confident;
Grant through the tears of repentance I may see more clearly the brightness and glories of the saving cross. ~ Arthur Bennett
