Quote

To God each one of us is His favorite. God's love comes to all, but it comes to all as each, not to all as some anonymous aggregate.

Agape is the catalyst that makes value appear in anything.

Image
We can't avoid reasoning we can only avoid doing it well.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Bad times make good people, as mountainous pressures make diamonds or as fire tempers steel.
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.

The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.

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

Image
Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.

Image
The deepest healing is the healing of the deepest wound. The deepest wound is the frustration of the deepest need. The deepest need is the need for meaning, purpose, and hope.

Moral relativism has a reputation for being compassionate, caring and humane, but it is an extremely useful philosophy for tyrants.

Image
The connection between art and Christ is like the connection between sunlight and the sun. It is, in fact, the connection between Sonlight and the Son.

Image
In an age that has thrown off all tradition, the only rebellion possible is orthodoxy.
Peter Kreeft

It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
Peter Kreeft
Image
If there is a God, there is a map. If God has a map, his map is the true map.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Americans' deepest religion is often equality. The notion that Christ alone is God-superior, authoritative, supernatural-and that Christ's teaching and person is far greater than Buddha's, or Muhammad's, or Moses's, no matter how much great and good wisdom may be contained in those others, is scandalous.
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
Faith and hope bring us through time but leave us at the doorstep of eternity. Only love goes with us inside.
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.

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.

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

Moral relativism says morality is relative, not absolute, I want to show moral relativism, in its popular form, is logically incoherent.
