We need to have the mind of a conservative and the heart of a liberal.

In every sin, we choose to believe the devil's lie rather than God's truth.

If a person claims to have met Jesus without being changed then they have not met the real Jesus.

Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our love for God. [...] Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:26-29).

God continuously comes into the world in two places - at the altar and in the womb.

A man walking through a wall is a miracle. A man both walking and not walking through a wall at the same time and in the same respect is a contradiction. God can perform miracles but not contradictions - not because his power is limited, but because contradictions are meaningless.

Trying to fill the God-sized hole in our hearts with things other than God is like trying to fill the Grand Canyon with marbles.

Image
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
A pure heart means a single heart, a heart in which only one desire lives: love.

Forgiveness is the reason for the crucifixion, and the crucifixion is the reason for the Incarnation.

How will the Tower of Babel be undone? How will we understand each other in Heaven? Will we all speak English or Dutch or Latin? No, we will speak music.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The womb is like an altar, it's the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do...create.
Peter Kreeft

Faith and hope bring us through time but leave us at the doorstep of eternity. Only love goes with us inside.

Remembering the facts of death and Heaven gives us an even more pressing reason to learn to pray: We do not have an infinite amount of time. We are one day nearer Home today than we ever were before. I guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying I wish I had watched more TV instead.'

When you give yourself away you find that a new and more real self has somehow been given to you.

Christ transforms the meaning and value of suffering from something to be feared or at best endured into something redemptive [and transformative].
