Creativity Quote by Little Richard

"God is omnipotent, He is omniscient, and He is ever present"

About this Quote

Little Richard’s theology lands with the blunt force of a backbeat: three classic attributes, no hedging, no clever detours. Coming from an artist who built a career on holy-roller energy and sexual insurgency, that plain statement reads less like catechism and more like a survival technology. Omnipotent, omniscient, ever present: it’s a creed designed to close escape hatches. If God can do anything, knows everything, and is everywhere, then there’s no private room where the performer can pretend the spotlight isn’t also a kind of judgment.

The intent feels pastoral and self-addressed at once. Richard spent decades oscillating between sacred and secular, preaching and partying, quitting rock and roll and returning to it. In that context, this isn’t abstract doctrine; it’s the language of a man trying to stabilize a life lived at maximum volume. The subtext is accountability, but also comfort: the same God who sees the chaos is near enough to catch you when it swallows you.

Culturally, the quote taps the Black Pentecostal world that shaped him, where faith isn’t a decorative identity but an all-weather framework. That matters because Little Richard wasn’t just “rock’s wild one”; he was also a Southern church kid who never fully left the sanctuary, even when he was redefining pop spectacle. The sentence’s simplicity mirrors gospel’s rhetorical power: repetition, certainty, and rhythm. It performs what it preaches, insisting presence into the room.
