More quotes by 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
There is a immense difference between training to do something and trying to do something....Sp iritual transformation is not a matter of trying harder, but of training wisely.... Following Jesus simply means learning from him how to arrange my life around activities that enable me to live in the fruit of the Spirit
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
Hurry is not just a disordered schedule. Hurry is a disordered heart.

Biblically, waiting is not just something we have to do until we get what we want. Waiting is part of the process of becoming what God wants us to be.
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
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
Over and over in the Bible, it is fear that threatens to keep people from trusting and obeying God.
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
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
The main measure of your devotion to God is not your devotional life. It is simply your life.
John Ortberg
It's better to have the faith to embrace reality with all its pain than to cling to the false comfort of a painless fantasy.
