Philip Yancey
“True faith does not so much attempt to manipulate God to do our will as it does to position us to do his will.”
Philip Yancey, Disappointment with God

“People who profess to have no faith, do not actually have no faith. They simply do not have faith as defined by the rest of the people. Many people who do not have faith as defined by the rest— do have a faith in many other good things— honesty, dedication, inner strength, and so on and so forth. And if you ask him (or her) why do they abide by these beliefs if there be no external force to damn them if they do not abide, they will answer and say, that it is because it is who they are, it is what they believe in, and that to them any other way is abominable. He (or she) does have a faith. It is just not expressed on one of the main paths of expression that most of the population walk on. They are just different in their faith, that is all. Religion should be rightly termed "The love of the beautiful." For anyone who has a true love and devotion to what is beautiful, does have a faith. That is his faith, that is his religion.”

“Evidence of true faith is the determination to trust God when that which He allows makes no sense--and is utterly disagreeable.”
David P. Ingerson

C. JoyBell C.
“One cannot truthfully profess a belief in a God, without having the ability to express the same sentiments towards other people around him/her. If you are going to say that you believe in a God that you cannot see, then you ought to believe in people that you can’t see, either! So much more faith and trust is required, to believe in an essence that you will never see with your own two eyes in this lifetime, than to believe in what you actually know can exist— other people. One must not be a hypocrite. During the times that I didn’t believe in people— I didn’t believe in God, either! During the times that I didn’t trust anyone— I didn’t trust God, either. The stuff of the soul, when it is genuine, will be reflected onto the way we think about, and interact with, other people! Don’t tell me you know a God who loves— if you don’t know how to love other people. Don’t tell me you have faith in a God, when you can’t have faith in another person. God is not there to show us that people can't be trusted. God is there to show us Himself, in everyone and in everything.”

Enock Maregesi
“Falaki maana yake ni kundi la nyota na sayari ikiwemo dunia. Falaki yetu inaitwa Njiamaziwa, ‘the Milky Way galaxy’, yenye mabilioni ya mifumo ya jua ukiwemo wa kwetu. Mungu alisimamisha jua katika falaki ya Njiamaziwa kwa ajili ya Yoshua, ili apate muda wa kutosha kuwashinda maadui zake – wanajeshi wa mataifa matano. Kila mtu alishangaa sana kipindi hicho. Kila mtu anashangaa sana kipindi hiki. Mungu akikubariki watu watasema wewe ni mchawi. Hawatajua nini kilitokea. Kwani kwa Mungu hakuna kinachoshindikana. Mungu aliweza kutenda miujiza kwa ajili ya Yoshua, na kwa ajili ya wana wa Israeli huko Gibeoni na huko Aiyaloni, anaweza kutenda miujiza kwa ajili yako popote pale ulipo. Mungu anachotaka kutoka kwako ni imani ya kweli juu yake, kwa mwili na kwa roho yako yote.”

“Hakuna uponyaji pasipo imani ya kweli. Giza linapoingia katika maisha yako ongea na Mungu. Halafu ongea na tatizo linalokusumbua. Kama tatizo linalokusumbua ni saratani, iambie saratani iondoke na kamwe isirudi katika mwili wako tena. Baada ya hapo, nenda kwa mchungaji. Jiweke wakfu, kwanza, kabla ya kuombewa.”
Enock Maregesi

“True Faith heals! Religion, dogma and disbelief kills!!”
AJ Vosse

“We are justified by faith alone, but good works prove that our faith is genuine. “By this, my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit, and so prove to be my disciples.” (John 15:8.). Jesus said, “You are my friends if you do what I command.” (John 15:14)”
Prasanth Jonathan

“Obedience to Jesus' commandments is the litmus test of our Genuine love for Him”
Prasanth Jonathan

“Repentance and faith are inseparable companions on the path to redemption, distinct yet indivisible.”
Prasanth Jonathan

Elaine Pagels
“A heretic may be anyone whose outlook someone else dislikes or denounces. According to tradition, a heretic is one who deviates from the true faith. But what defines that "true faith"? Who calls it that, and for what reasons?”
Elaine Pagels, The Gnostic Gospels
