The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Humility is the marriage bond of Heaven. Pride is the frigidity of Hell.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The national anthem of hell is, I Did It My Way.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The only reason you are not yet a saint is because you do not wholly want to be one.
Peter Kreeft
Image
In every sin, we choose to believe the devil's lie rather than God's truth.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Pride looks down, and no one can see God but by looking up.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Great saints are never wimps.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We do not do good works to get into heaven we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.
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
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.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Trusting God's grace means trusting God's love for us rather than our love for God. [...] Therefore our prayers should consist mainly of rousing our awareness of God's love for us rather than trying to rouse God's awareness of our love for him, like the priests of Baal on Mount Carmel (1 Kings 18:26-29).
Peter Kreeft
Image
True love, unlike popular sentimental substitutes, is willing to suffer. Love is not luv. Love is the cross. Our problem at first, the sheer problem of suffering, was a cross without Christ. We must never fall into the opposite and equal trap of a Christ without a cross.
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
Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.
Peter Kreeft
Image
The womb is like an altar, it's the place where God continually comes into the world and does what only God can do...create.
Peter Kreeft
Image
Grey is the devil's favorite color.
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
Now if the religious skeptic is right, we can know nothing about God. And if we can know nothing about God, how can we know God so well that we can know that he cannot be known? How can we know that God cannot and did not reveal himself—and perhaps even through human reason?
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.

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.
