Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
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
If we had absolute proof instead of clues, then you could no more deny God than you could deny the sun. If we had no evidence at all, you could never get there. God gives us just enough evidence so that those who want him can have him.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Forgiveness is the reason for the crucifixion, and the crucifixion is the reason for the Incarnation.
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.

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

Life is always fatal. No one gets out of it alive
Peter Kreeft
Image
How you approach the problem of suffering depends on how you approach life itself. There are only two ways. Either meaning is surrounded by matter, or matter is surrounded by meaning.

Image
Peace is a mark of the Holy Spirit.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The most total opposite of pleasure is not pain but boredom, for we are willing to risk pain to make a boring life interesting.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Being a Christian is more like having your soul possessed by a spirit than having your mind clothed with new beliefs... It is like being haunted by the Holy Ghost.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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
The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Faith is the root, the necessary beginning. Hope is the stem, the energy that makes the plant grow. Love is the fruit, the flower, the visible product, the bottom line. The plant of our new life in Christ is one the life of God comes into us by faith, through us by hope, and out of us by the works of love.
Peter Kreeft
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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.
Peter Kreeft

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.

Every gift requires two freedoms: the giver's and the receiver's.
