You can send that message to other persons; you can send it to God  (John Ortberg Quotes) Skeptics would rather, even at their own expense, appear to be right than take the risk of trusting  (John Ortberg Quotes) The greatest bloodbaths in the history of the human race were recorded in the twentieth century in countries that sought to eliminate God, worship, and faith  (John Ortberg Quotes) If we are serious about loving God, we must begin with people, all people. And especially we must learn to love those that the world generally discards  (John Ortberg Quotes) It may be a very bad thing that I needed God to die for me, but it is a wonderful thing that God thinks I am worth dying for  (John Ortberg Quotes) If you want to do the work of God, pay attention to people. Notice them. Especially the people nobody else notices  (John Ortberg Quotes) When we live in the love of God, we begin to pay attention to people the way God pays attention to us  (John Ortberg Quotes) Every day you and I walk through God's shop. Every day we brush up against objects of incalculable worth to Him. People. Every one of them carries a price tag, if only we could see it  (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) Love and hurry are fundamentally incompatible. Love always takes time, and time is the one thing hurried people don't have  (John Ortberg Quotes) I hate how hard spiritual transformation is and how long it takes. I hate thinking about how many people have gone to church for decades and remain joyless or judgmental or bitter or superior  (John Ortberg Quotes) I am disappointed with myself. I am disappointed not so much with the particular things I have done as with the aspects of who I have become.

This is why practices such as fasting and simplicity are such powerful tools for transformation. The experience of frustration and disappointment is irreplaceable in the development of a grateful heart  (John Ortberg Quotes) For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith.
