More quotes by Joshua Harris
We express true love in obedience to God and service to others- not reckless or selfish behavior- and we choose these behaviors.
Joshua Harris
True purity, however, is a direction, a persistent, determined pursuit of righteousness. This direction starts in the heart, and we express it in a lifestyle that flees opportunities for compromise.
Joshua Harris
Women need to remember that if nature has made them plain, grace can make them beautiful, and if nature has made them beautiful, good deeds can add to their beauty. Grace will make you beautiful and will attract truly godly men to you. Make godliness and inward beauty your priority.
Joshua Harris
When you let God be God you can let humans be humans. When we place God in His rightful place in our lives, we don't struggle so much when human relationships let us down.
Joshua Harris
The doctrine of Scripture teaches us about the authority of God's Word. Scripture must be the final rule of faith and practice for our lives. Not our feelings or emotions. Not signs or prophetic words or hunches.
Joshua Harris
Just because something is good doesn't mean we should pursue it right now. We have to remember that the right thing at the wrong time is the wrong thing.
Joshua Harris
You are so amazed by grace, you're not picking a fight with anyone, you're just crying tears of amazement that should lead to a heart for lost people, that God does indeed save, when he doesn't have to save anybody.
Joshua Harris
When God knows you're ready for the responsibility of commitment, He'll reveal the right person under the right circumstances.
Joshua Harris
During courtship, guarding each other's purity and refraining from intimacy are the acts of lovemaking.
Joshua Harris
If you want to grow, find men who provoke you.
Joshua Harris
Intimacy without commitment, like icing without cake, can be sweet, but it ends up making us sick.
Joshua Harris
When we define our happiness by some point in the future, it will never arrive. We'll keep waiting until tomorrow. If we allow impatience to govern us, we will miss the gift of the moment. We'll arrive at that point in time we expected to provide fulfillment and find it lacking.
Joshua Harris
God will make right all that is wrong, He will take away the lingering effect of sin and what's not right in our lives. He knows how painful life in this world can be.
Joshua Harris
If you're not ready to get married, don't grab at a relationship. Patiently wait for the right time to start one that can eventually lead to marriage. If you're ready for marriage and you're in a relationship, don't let impatience cause you to rush. Take your time. Enjoy where God has the two of you right now.
Joshua Harris
The most romantic things a man can do for a woman are the little things that let her know that she's on his mind and in his heart.
Joshua Harris
I am a sucker for romance and I love girls and that is a terrible combination, because romance has the ability to overwhelm your perspective.
Joshua Harris
I've come to see that you can limit God is different ways. You can limit Him by thinking he can never work in spectacular ways. But you can also limit Him by thinking that only the spectacular is meaningful. - from Dug Down Deep
Joshua Harris
I'm not saying dating is sinful, and I'm not saying a guy and a girl should never spend time alone together. I'm saying let's wait until we can be purposeful, so there's a reason behind our relationship, and we're not just stirring up passion for the sake of a good time.
Joshua Harris
A defining reality for me is what Scripture teaches in Hebrews 12, that God is our father, and that a sign that he loves us is that he disciplines us, he takes us through hardship to build character in us that could not be shaped apart from difficulty.
Joshua Harris
We want to stay on the straight and narrow path and serve God, yet we continue a practice that often pulls us in the wrong direction.
