More quotes by Josh McDowell
We do not develop habits of genuine love automatically. We learn by watching effective role models - most specifically by observing how our parents express love for each other day in and day out.
Josh McDowell
After I set out to refute Christianity intellectually and couldn't, I came to the conclusion the Bible was true and Jesus Christ was God's Son.
Josh McDowell
Christ appeared alive on several occasions after the cataclysmic events of that first Easter.
Josh McDowell
You can laugh at Christianity you can mock and ridicule it. But it works. It changes lives. If you trust Christ, start watching your attitudes and actions, because Jesus Christ is in the business of changing lives.
Josh McDowell
I would say 90 percent of Christians do not have a worldview, in other words a view of the world, based on the Scripture and a relationship with God.
Josh McDowell
Both Jewish and Roman sources and traditions admit an empty tomb.
Josh McDowell
On that Sunday morning the first thing that impressed the people who approached the tomb was the unusual position of the one and a half to two ton stone that had been lodged in front of the doorway.
Josh McDowell
My joy in life is not because I have not had any problems. I have joy because I have learned there is nothing too great for Gods power to deal with, nor anything too small or insignificant for His love to be concerned about.
Josh McDowell
For centuries many of the world's distinguished philosophers have assaulted Christianity as being irrational, superstitious and absurd.
Josh McDowell
When it comes to my salvation, all I need is Jesus after my salvation, everything is Jesus plus the church... When people preach that all you need is Jesus, they cut you and I off from one of the greatest sources of healing, which is the body of Christ. Dont go it alone - you wont make it.
Josh McDowell
What you are as a single person, you will be as a married person, only to a greater degree. Any negative character trait will be intensified in a marriage relationship, because you will feel free to let your guard down -- that person has committed himself to you and you no longer have to worry about scaring him off.
Josh McDowell
We may very well wake up in the not-too-distant future in a culture that is not only unreceptive but openly hostile to the church and the gospel of Jesus Christ, a culture in which those who proclaim the gospel will be labeled as bigots and fanatics, a culture in which persecution of Christians will be not only allowed but applauded.
Josh McDowell
A lot of people say, well how can a loving God send anyone to hell? First of all God doesn't send anyone to hell. If we go to hell, it's by our own choice. But when somebody says to me, how can a loving God allow anyone to go to hell, I'll turn around and say, Well how can a holy, just, righteous God allow sin into His presence?
Josh McDowell
Tolerance is the worst roar of all, including tolerance for homosexuals, feminists, and religions that don't follow Christ.
Josh McDowell
Anyone with sincere religious beliefs cannot say that all religions are true. That is so illogical it is pathetic. All religion cannot be true because some of them are so diametrically opposed to each other.
Josh McDowell
How do you spell love?... when you reach the point where the happiness, security and development of another person is as much of a driving force to you as your own happiness, security, and development, then you have a mature love. True love is spelled G-I-V-E. It is not based on what you can get, but rooted in what you can give to the other person.
Josh McDowell
Truth is objective because God exists outside ourselves it is universal because God is above all it is constant because God is eternal. Absolute truth is absolute because it originates from the original.
Josh McDowell
Every kid needs to say, 'I want what my mom and dad have.’
Josh McDowell
Rules without relationship leads to rebellion.
Josh McDowell
Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
