Examples of Godly in a Sentence

1. John Ashcroft:

   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.

2. Sean Feucht:

   I thank you Lord that in the midst of a pandemic and tyrannical governors and leaders, Lord you raised up Godly men and women to stand up for our rights, the church, and to stand up for the constitution.

3. Commander Phil Robertson:

   My qualifications for president of the United States are rather narrow: Is he or she Godly, does he or she love us, can he or she do the job, and finally would they kill a duck and put him in a pot and make him a good duck gumbo? cruz fits the bill.

4. Phil Robertson:

   The Apostle Paul told Timothy that whoever lives a godly life in Christ will be persecuted, so we take persecution as a badge of honor. It doesn’t bother us at all. We just take it in and say, ‘I don’t hold anyone against it.’ Instead, we focus on telling others about Jesus and keep moving.

5. Corey Brooks:

   For me, faith is so important because without God’s presence, without that godly work, it's empty, my faith is what pushes me into action. It's what causes me to love people.
