Text Quotes
Genuine brokenness pleases God more than pretend spirituality  (John Ortberg Quotes) We are too often double espresso followers of a decaf Sovereign  (John Ortberg Quotes) Too often we argue about Christianity instead of marveling at Jesus  (John Ortberg Quotes) For the soul to be well, it needs to be with God  (John Ortberg Quotes) Significance is about who we are before it is about what we do  (John Ortberg Quotes) Jesus gave the world its most influential movement  (John Ortberg Quotes) Habits eat good intentions for breakfast  (John Ortberg Quotes) Real question is not who was this man (Jesus), but who is this man?  (John Ortberg Quotes) We’d like to be humble...but what if no one notices?  (John Ortberg Quotes) The miracle of Sunday is that a dead man lives. The miracle of Saturday is that the eternal Son of God lies dead  (John Ortberg Quotes) The greatest moment of your life is now. This moment is God’s irreplaceable gift to you  (John Ortberg Quotes) The problem with spending your life climbing up the ladder is that you will go right past Jesus, for he’s coming down  (John Ortberg Quotes) There is no way for a human being to come to God that does not involve surrender  (John Ortberg Quotes) The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus, you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life  (John Ortberg Quotes) Peace doesn’t come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat  (John Ortberg Quotes) Over and over in the Bible, it is fear that threatens to keep people from trusting and obeying God  (John Ortberg Quotes) To love someone is to desire and work toward their becoming the best version of themselves. The one person in all the universe who can do this perfectly for you is God  (John Ortberg Quotes) Imagine watching all that God might have done with your life if you had let him  (John Ortberg Quotes) Spiritual formation is for everyone. Just as there is an ‘outer you’ that is being formed and shaped all the time, like it or not, by accident or on purpose, so there is an ‘inner you.’ You have a spirit. And it’s constantly being shaped and tugged at: by what you hear and watch and say and read and think and experience  (John Ortberg Quotes) The goal of prayer is to live all of my life and speak all of my words in the joyful awareness of the presence of God. Prayer becomes real when we grasp the reality and goodness of God’s constant presence with ‘the real me.’ Jesus lived his everyday life in conscious awareness of his Father  (John Ortberg Quotes) Low self-esteem causes me to believe that I have so little worth that my response does not matter. With repentance, however, I understand that being worth so much to God is why my response is so important. Repentance is remedial work to mend our minds and hearts, which get bent by sin  (John Ortberg Quotes) God is never a God of discouragement. When you have a discouraging spirit or train of thought in your mind, you can be sure it is not from God. He sometimes brings pain to his children-conviction over sin, or repentance over fallenness, or challenges that scare us, or visions of his holiness that overwhelm us. But God never brings discouragement  (John Ortberg Quotes) There is something you can’t fix, can’t heal, or can’t escape, and all you can do it trust God. Finding ultimate refuge in God means you become so immersed in his presence, so convinced of his goodness, so devoted to his lordship that you find even the cave is a perfectly safe place to be because he is there with you  (John Ortberg Quotes) Gratitude is the ability to experience life as a gift. It liberates us from the prison of self-preoccupation  (John Ortberg Quotes) Ever console or scold people hurt in human relationships that satisfaction comes from God alone? Stop. Adam’s fellowship with God was perfect, and God Himself declared Adam needed other humans  (John Ortberg Quotes) The good news as Jesus preached it is not just about the minimal entrance requirements for getting into heaven when you die. It is about the glorious redemption of human life-your life  (John Ortberg Quotes) Everybody wears an unseen sign that reads: Inspire me. Remind me that my life matters; call me to be my best self; appeal to whatever in me is most noble and honorable. Don’t let me go down the path of least resistance. Challenge me to make my life about something more than the acquisition of money or success  (John Ortberg Quotes) Art is built on the deepest themes of human meaning: good and evil, beauty and ugliness, life and death, love and hate. No other story has incarnated those themes more than the story of Jesus  (John Ortberg Quotes) The human longings that are deep inside of us never go away. They exist across cultures; they exist throughout life. When people were first made, our deepest longing was to know and be known. And after the Fall, when we all got weird, it’s still our deepest longing - but it’s now also our deepest fear  (John Ortberg Quotes) In reality, each thought we have carries with it a little spiritual power, a tug toward or away from God. No thought is purely neutral  (John Ortberg Quotes)
