More quotes by John Ortberg
Sloth is the failure to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done - like the kamikaze pilot who flew seventeen missions.
John Ortberg
In the beginning, we're told, was the word. Every once in a while someone shows up on the planet who is word-obsessed and word-gifted and the light and darkness get named again. In our day, that someone is Buechner.
John Ortberg
The Holy Spirit says: You are it. You are God's plan. In a thirsty world, people need to be refreshed. It is a broken world, and people need to be healed. Now get out there and do it!
John Ortberg
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
To become truly free, you must surrender.

Jesus ... associated with the outcasts he spoke with them, touched them, ate with them, loved them.
John Ortberg
God wishes to be seen, wishes to be sought, wishes to be expected, and wishes to be trusted.
John Ortberg
We must assess our thoughts and beliefs and reckon whether they are moving us closer to conformity to Christ or farther away from it.
John Ortberg
If we do not become changed from the inside-out - if we don't morph - we will be tempted to find external methods to satisfy our need to feel that we're different from those outside the faith. If we cannot be transformed, we will settle for being informed or conformed.
John Ortberg
You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
John Ortberg
Every human being who has ever lived has suffered from a messiah complex-except one.
John Ortberg
What repeatedly enters your mind and occupies your mind, eventually shapes your mind, and will ultimately express itself in what you do and who you become.
John Ortberg
For many of us the great danger is not that we will renounce our faith. It is that we will become so distracted and rushed and preoccupied that we will settle for a mediocre version of it.
John Ortberg
Real question is not who was this man (Jesus), but who is this man?
John Ortberg
True repentance never leads to despair. Its leads home. It leads to grace.
John Ortberg
Your Mission starts where you are,Not where you think you should be.Sometimes we're tempted to think that our current position/job/situation is a barrier to our mission, but, in fact, it is where it starts.
John Ortberg
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.
