The love of God is no human projection, but the wrath of God is. In fact, what we call the wrath of God is really the love of God experienced by a fool.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Scripture starts with the particular and then universalizes it. You are called to love your concrete individual neighbor and then to realize that every individual is your neighbor. The point is not to destroy concrete neighborhood in a fit of universalism but to expand the local neighborhood and embrace the universal neighborhood.
Peter Kreeft
Image
A pure heart means a single heart, a heart in which only one desire lives: love.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Faith is not like bottled water but like rain. Its destiny is not just to be kept and held but to make something visible grow.

Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family. Our no-fault insurance has removed our responsibility for car accidents, and no-fault divorce has removed our responsibility for marriage accidents why should abortion not be our no-fault sexual insurance policy that removes our responsibility for sex accidents?

Sacraments are like hoses. They are the channels of the living water of God's grace. Our faith is like opening the faucet. We can open it a lot, a little, or not at all.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We sin because we see sin as a bargain. We unconsciously calculate that it’s worth it, that it pays.

Even David Hume, one of history most famous skeptics, said it's just barely possible that God exists.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Love is faith's flower, hope is its stem. Grace comes into us by faith, like water through the roots of a tree. It rises in us by hope, like sap rising through the trunk of a tree. And it matures in us by [love] as fruit matures on a tree's branches, fruit for the neighbor's eating.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Christ transforms the meaning and value of suffering from something to be feared or at best endured into something redemptive [and transformative].
Peter Kreeft
Image
To those of you who would classify yourselves as conservatives I would say, meditate long and hard on Jesus' saying Whatever you do to the least of these you have done to me.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The more we realize we are loved, the more ashamed we are not to love back. The more we sin as a violation of love, not just of law, the more powerful a motive we will have to overcome it. For sin is attractive to us (otherwise we would never be attracted to it) and can be cast out only by something more attractive.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The key to faith is love. We believe only if we love. Trust is the middle term only if we love, do we trust and only if we trust, do we believe.

The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.

The opposite of Christianity is not atheism, but idolatry.

We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.

Humility, humility, humility, and humility.

Love is the binding force on every level of existence.

Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts.
