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
To become truly free, you must surrender.
John Ortberg
Prudence is not hesitation, procrastination, or moderation. It is not driving in the middle of the road. It is not the way of ambivalence, indecision, or safety.
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.
John Ortberg
Spiritual transformation is not a matter of trying harder, but of training wisely.
John Ortberg
We who preach have one tool. We are people of the book.
John Ortberg
The main measure of your devotion to God is not your devotional life. It is simply your life.
John Ortberg
I'm more concerned about who you're becoming than what you're doing.
John Ortberg
If you can't do great things, Mother Teresa used to say, do little things with great love. If you can't do them with great love, do them with a little love. If you can't do them with a little love, do them anyway. Love grows when people serve.
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 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
Having faith does not mean never having doubts or questions. It does mean remaining obedient.
John Ortberg
Jesus gave the world its most influential movement.
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
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
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
There is a world of difference between being friendly to someone because they're useful to you and being someone's friend.
John Ortberg
When preaching is done right, it can change lives. When it's done badly, my failure goes beyond the merely human.
John Ortberg
People who are servants-humbly, honestly, and joyfully-keep getting revealed as the biggest winners. People who recognize and embrace their smallness keep getting bigger and bigger in God's eyes. It's the oddest scoring system.
John Ortberg
Skepticism can keep us from blessing, can keep us trapped in two minds.
