Religion Quote by Patrick Morley
““We live in a profoundly religious country, and we are a prosperous people. But we are also a broken people—a people who have pursued the God of our own imaginations, believing we can re-create His character to suit our own practical problems. The result? We are the most religious nation in the world, but, like the Laodiceans, many are lukewarm.””
About This Quote
