I regret any comments I have ever made which may have cast any doubt on the personal faith of our president, Mr. Obama.
I've never really been one to try to be politically correct. I just feel truth is truth, and sometimes I probably offend some people.
You have to look at what a person does with his life. Anyone can say that he's a Christian, but you look at how they live.
All I know is that I'm a sinner and that God has forgiven me of my sins. Because I put my faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
I think AIDS can be won. I think we can win this fight. It is winnable. But it means behavior change.
It's hard to pin down what it means to be an evangelical today. It's been diluted quite a bit. It is a powerful voting bloc, no question, but they're liberal as well as conservative - and they're made of Latinos, blacks, whites.
I was 22 years old when I asked Christ to come into my heart. You cannot be born a Christian; you can only be converted. And that is by putting your faith and trust in Christ.
I saw my father preach in Madison Square Garden, and I was a little embarrassed, I think, the first time I heard him preach. That's my father up there, and I kind of slid down in my chair.
No matter what storm you face, you need to know God loves you. He has not abandoned you.
As we enter this election year, let’s not forget the most important decision anyone can make-choosing Christ.
We're not attacking Islam but Islam has attacked us. The God of Islam is not the same God. He's not the son of God of the Christian or Judeo-Christian faith. It's a different God, and I believe it [Islam] is a very evil and wicked religion. ... When you read the Koran and you read the verses from the Koran, it instructs the killing of the infidel, for those that are non-Muslim.
Christians can trust God to redeem even the greatest of tragedies and the most desperate of situations.
Prayer is the most powerful resource we have in this life; yet, many only turn to it as a last resort. When unbelievers pray for repentance of sin and ask for God’s forgiveness, prayer is the spiritual dynamite that obliterates the darkness and despair of a sin-soaked soul.
This is God's standards [against same-sex marriage and abortions]. And just because public opinion may have changed or somebody takes a poll - this is just one of the issues. And it doesn't matter what people say or what people think. It doesn't matter about the opinion polls. It's what God says, and God says this is a sin. And it's a sin against him, and he's going to judge sin.
