Life is always fatal. No one gets out of it alive
Peter Kreeft

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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Story is the oldest, commonest, most beloved, and most effective form of communication because our life is essentially a story. That's why the Bible is the most realistic of religious books. We can easily ignore or argue away abstractions, but we bump up against concretely real people, things, and events in story, as in life.

Control language and you control thought control thought and you control action control action and you control the world.

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.

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

If there is a God, there is a map. If God has a map, his map is the true map.

Subtract miracles from Islam, Buddhism, Confucianism, or Toaism, and you have essentially the same religion left. Subtract miracles from Christianity, and you have nothing but the cliches and platitudes most American Christians get weekly (and weakly) from their pulpits.

Most theists are deists most of the time, in practice if not in theory. They practice the absence of God instead of the presence of God.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The scripture notion of truth is not an abstract, static, and timeless formula, but is something that comes true in time as the fulfillment of a divine promise. Truth happens in history.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Moral stupidity comes in two different forms: relativism and legalism. Relativism sees no principles, only people legalism sees no people, only principles.

Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?
Peter Kreeft
Image
God calls us, just as he called Abraham, away from the security we knew, out of our old, familiar, little room, down the ladder of faith and into his arms. Jesus called his disciples that way - just as a lover elopes with his beloved.
Peter Kreeft
Image
No emotion, merely as an emotion, is a sin, because we cannot directly control the arising of an emotion in our soul.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
Peter Kreeft
Image
If we turn to the divine Conductor and follow the wise and loving baton that is His will, His Word, then the music of our life will be a symphony.

Image
We do not do good works to get into heaven we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Only saints can save the world. And only our own sins can stop us from being saints.
