Quote

Christ is the Word of God in person. The Bible is the Word of God in writing. Both are the Word of God in the words of men. Both have a human nature and a divine nature.

The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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
When you give yourself away you find that a new and more real self has somehow been given to you.

Image
The first rule for prayer, the most important first step, is not about how to do it, but to just do it not to perfect and complete it but to begin it. Once the car is moving, it's easy to steer it in the right direction, but it's much harder to start it up when it's stalled. And prayer is stalled in our world.

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.

The Inquisition confused sin with sinners and judged both. Modern Americans make the same mistake but judge neither.
Peter Kreeft
Image
In this deed is my hope, not in the mere timeless fact that God is love. I am saved not by the beautiful Trinitarian life of God but by the gory death of God. I am saved not by the touching of the three Persons in Heaven but by the touching of this love on the Cross to my life.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Like apes, we breed, sleep, and die. Yet like God we say, I am. We are ontological oxymorons.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Forgiveness is the reason for the crucifixion, and the crucifixion is the reason for the Incarnation.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The world was won for Christ not by arguments but by sanctity: What you are speaks so loud, I can hardly hear what you say.
Peter Kreeft
Image
If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
Peter Kreeft
Image
It is said that there are three sources of evil, the world, the flesh, and the Devil but the world and the flesh would be innocent were it not for the Devil.
Peter Kreeft
Image
A saint isn't somebody who tries harder, but someone who trusts more.
Peter Kreeft
Image
God allows unjust disparities between rich and poor because He does not miraculously intervene to establish justice against human wills. Also, discrepancies are not unjust by themselves justice does not mean equality of result but equality of opportunity.
