More quotes by John Ortberg
Greatness is never achieved through indecision.
John Ortberg
Skeptics would rather, even at their own expense, appear to be right than take the risk of trusting.
John Ortberg
Never try to have more faith - just get to know God better. And because God is faithful, the better you know Him, the more you'll trust Him.
John Ortberg
To become grateful, I must learn that I can handle disappointment and delayed gratification with grace and perseverance. 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.

If ever there were a true just as I am church, if ever there were a community where everybody could bring all their baggage and brokenness with them without neat and tidy happy endings quite yet, if ever there was a group where everyone was loved and no one pretended - we could not make enough room inside the building.

John Ortberg
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
The soul seeks God with its whole being. Because it is desperate to be whole, the soul is God-smitten and God-crazy and God-obsessed. My mind may be obsessed with idols my will may be enslaved to habits my body may be consumed with appetites. But my soul will never find rest until it rests in God.
John Ortberg
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

John Ortberg
Death is the prerequisite to resurrection, the new life God intends.
John Ortberg
Hurry is not just a disordered schedule. Hurry is a disordered heart.
John Ortberg
Over and over in the Bible, it is fear that threatens to keep people from trusting and obeying God.
