More quotes by Joshua Harris
If you want to grow, find men who provoke you.
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
When you dress and behave in a way that is designed primarily to arouse sexual desire in men, you are committing pornography with your life.
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
When God knows you're ready for the responsibility of commitment, He'll reveal the right person under the right circumstances.
Joshua Harris
Many couples have made commitments to sexual purity, but instead of adopting a lifestyle that supports this commitment, they continue relationships that encourage physical expression and place themselves in dangerous settings. The path you take with your feet should never contradict the conviction of your heart.
Joshua Harris
The common error today is to bring God so close that we strip Him of His godness. We think we have him figured out. So God becomes our pal, our buddy, our Divine Butler. from Dug Down Deep
Joshua Harris

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
Courtship is a commitment - it's a promise not to play games with another person's heart.
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
But remember, continuing a wrong relationship only increases the pain when it finally does end.
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
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.
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
You get up and you preach a sermon and people walk away thinking what a great guy - and that's a failure as a pastor. Our job is to proclaim Christ.
Joshua Harris
Intimacy without commitment, like icing without cake, can be sweet, but it ends up making us sick.
Joshua Harris
Romance says, ' I want it now!'. Wisdom urges patience
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
True love isn't expressed in passionately whispered words an intimate kiss or a embrace before two people are married, love is expressed in self-control, patience, even words left unsaid.
