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.

More quotes by Joshua Harris
What we say we believe makes very little difference until we act on our belief
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
Courtship is a commitment - it's a promise not to play games with another person's heart.
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
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
During courtship, guarding each other's purity and refraining from intimacy are the acts of lovemaking.
Joshua Harris
Wisdom in relationships involves a selfless desire to do what's best for the other person.
Joshua Harris
The right thing at a wrong time is a wrong thing.
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
A lot of us have developed a diet mentality toward lust. We really want to cut back on lust because we know its not healthy and it makes us feel bad. But like some rich, calorie-laden chocolate dessert, lust is just too tasty to resist completely. Surely God will understand if we break our diet and nibble a little lust now and then.
Joshua Harris
God gave people 2 ears and 1 mouth because He wants us to listen twice as much as we talk.
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
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
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
Terms don't define our lives our lives define our terms.
Joshua Harris
If you want to grow, find men who provoke you.
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
Having a girlfriend was no longer my greatest need. Knowing and obeying Him was . I wanted to please Him in my relationships even if it meant looking radical and foolish to other people - even if it meant kissing dating goodbye.
Joshua Harris
We express true love in obedience to God and service to others- not reckless or selfish behavior- and we choose these behaviors.
