Money can buy everything money can buy, which is just a lot of stuff.
Peter Kreeft
Moral relativism says morality is relative, not absolute, I want to show moral relativism, in its popular form, is logically incoherent.
Peter Kreeft
Life is always fatal. No one gets out of it alive
Peter Kreeft
Everything smaller than Heaven bores us because only Heaven is bigger than our hearts.
Peter Kreeft
Only God is to be loved for His own sake. Everything else is to be loved for God's sake.
Peter Kreeft
Forgiveness is the reason for the crucifixion, and the crucifixion is the reason for the Incarnation.
Peter Kreeft
Prayer is fundamentally a transformation of will, a lifting of the heart and will to God.
Peter Kreeft
If you truly love God and His will, then doing what you will, will, in fact, be doing what God wills.
Peter Kreeft
In an age that has thrown off all tradition, the only rebellion possible is orthodoxy.
Peter Kreeft
Remembering the facts of death and Heaven gives us an even more pressing reason to learn to pray: We do not have an infinite amount of time. We are one day nearer Home today than we ever were before. I guarantee you that after you die you will not say 'I spent too much time praying I wish I had watched more TV instead.'
Peter Kreeft
The more we realize we are loved, the more ashamed we are not to love back. The more we sin as a violation of love, not just of law, the more powerful a motive we will have to overcome it. For sin is attractive to us (otherwise we would never be attracted to it) and can be cast out only by something more attractive.
Peter Kreeft
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
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
Christ transforms the meaning and value of suffering from something to be feared or at best endured into something redemptive [and transformative].
Peter Kreeft
We need to have the mind of a conservative and the heart of a liberal.
Peter Kreeft
Abortion is the insurance against that fate worse than death which is called a family. Our no-fault insurance has removed our responsibility for car accidents, and no-fault divorce has removed our responsibility for marriage accidents why should abortion not be our no-fault sexual insurance policy that removes our responsibility for sex accidents?
Peter Kreeft
Most people believe you have to have some moral absolutes if you want to hold back chaos.
Peter Kreeft
Cats don't need to be possessed they're evil on their own.
Peter Kreeft
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.
Peter Kreeft
God created the possibility of evil people actualized that potentiality. The source of evil is not God's power but mankind's freedom. Even an all-powerful God could not have created a world in which people had genuine freedom and yet there was no potentiality for sin, because our freedom includes the possibility of sin within its own meaning.
