Desire reveals design, and design reveals destiny.

Most Christians are still living with an Old Testament view of their heart. Jeremiah 17:9 says, 'My heart is deceitfully wicked.' No, it's not. Not after the work of Christ, because the promise of the new covenant is a new heart.

Every man is a warrior inside. But the choice to fight is his own.

We are created for adventure, and if we cannot find one, we start blowing things out of proportion so it feels like we have one.

Christianity has basically communicated to men that the reason God put you on this Earth is to be a good boy. Mind your manners, be a nice guy. That's soul killing!

If only Jesus' followers shared his personality. That one shift alone would correct so many of the ridiculous and horrifying things that pass for popular Christianity.

We abandon the most important journey of our lives when we abandon desire. We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you. Whatever we might gain – money, position, the approval of others, or just absence of the discontent self – it’s not worth it.

We don't live in the Garden. We live far from Eden. Every life is full of heartaches. Every life, frankly, is unspeakably sad.
John Eldredge
Image
It is the thoughts and intents of the heart that shape a person's life.
John Eldredge
Image
So long as man remains no real threat to the Enemy, Satan's line to him is 'You're fine'. But after you do take sides, it becomes 'Your heart is bad and you know it'.
John Eldredge
Image
Am I really a man? Have I got what it takeswhen it counts?
John Eldredge
Image
Every man carries a wound. I have never met a man without one. No matter how good your life may have seemed to you, you live in a broken world full of broken people.
John Eldredge
Image
It takes great courage to be vulnerable. It takes enormous strength to be a real woman.
John Eldredge
Image
You can't fight a battle you don't think exists.
John Eldredge
Image
A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family.
John Eldredge
Image
Adventure, with all its requisite danger and wildness, is a deeply spiritual longing written into the soul of man.
John Eldredge
Image
Security is not found in the absence of danger, but in the presence of Jesus.

Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness it's how we begin to love.
