All human beings have a right to life. Our unborn children are members of the human race. They're human beings, so they have a right to life.

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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Great saints have often been made out of great sinners, but not one was ever made out of a wimp.
Peter Kreeft
Image
It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
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.
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.

Most people believe you have to have some moral absolutes if you want to hold back chaos.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The Inquisition confused sin with sinners and judged both. Modern Americans make the same mistake but judge neither.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Suffering is not blessed because it is suffering but because it is [Christ's]. Suffering is not the context that explains the cross the cross is the context that explains suffering.
Peter Kreeft
Image
It is closer to the truth to say that God is crazy than that God is reasonable. I suspect God merely smiles when someone calls him crazy, but shakes His head and frowns when someone calls Him reasonable.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Thus moral theology leads us four steps deeper than law. To fulfill the moral law, we need love. To get love, we need union with God. To get union with God, we need the new birth. And to get the new birth, we need faith.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Envy, though not the greatest sin, is the only one that gives the sinner no pleasure at all, not even fake and temporary satisfaction.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Why pray if we cannot change God? ...is that why we pray? To change omniscient Love? Isn't it rather to learn what it is and to fulfill it? Not to change it by our acts, but to change our acts by it.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The rich fop Francis of Assisi was bored all his life-until he fell in love with Christ and gave all his stuff away and became the troubadour of Lady Poverty.
Peter Kreeft
Image
A God who did not abolish suffering-worse , a God who abolished sin precisely by suffering-is a scandal to the modern mind.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Moral relativism has a reputation for being compassionate, caring and humane, but it is an extremely useful philosophy for tyrants.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
You have an evil twin who is always with you. He is called your ego.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.

The most total opposite of pleasure is not pain but boredom, for we are willing to risk pain to make a boring life interesting.
