More quotes by John Ortberg
We must learn to cast off our anxieties because we have so many of them. The world destroys spiritual life by generating constant anxiety. Jesus said that the life of the gospel is choked out by the cares of this world. We know this to be true yet we are more chained and tethered to the world than ever before in the human race.
John Ortberg
Skeptics would rather, even at their own expense, appear to be right than take the risk of trusting.
John Ortberg
At the deepest level, pride is the choice to exclude both God and other people from their rightful place in our hearts. Jesus said the essence of the spiritual life is to love God and to love people. Pride destroys our capacity to love.
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
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
Joylessness may be the sin most readily tolerated by the church.
John Ortberg
One of the great illusions of our time is that hurrying will buy us more time.
John Ortberg
You must arrange your days so that you are experiencing deep contentment, joy and confidence in your everyday life with God.
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
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
You can only love and be loved to the extent that you know and are known by somebody.
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
God wishes to be seen, wishes to be sought, wishes to be expected, and wishes to be trusted.
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
If you want to walk on water, you have to get out of the boat.
John Ortberg
True repentance never leads to despair. Its leads home. It leads to grace.
John Ortberg
To become truly free, you must surrender.
John Ortberg
The most important task of your life is not what you do, but who you become.
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
You must ruthlessly eliminate hurry from your life.
