More quotes by Peter Kreeft
In every sin, we choose to believe the devil's lie rather than God's truth.
Peter Kreeft
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
Our culture has filled our heads but emptied our hearts, stuffed our wallets but starved our wonder. It has fed our thirst for facts but not for meaning or mystery. It produces nice people, not heroes.
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
Of course the more you love the sinner the more you hate and make war on the sin, just as the more you love the person, the more you hate and kill the cancer cells that are killing the person. Compassion for cancer cells does not come from compassion for persons it comes precisely from lack of compassion for persons.
Peter Kreeft
A saint isn't somebody who tries harder, but someone who trusts more.
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
If we turn to the divine Conductor and follow the wise and loving baton that is His will, His Word, then the music of our life will be a symphony.
Peter Kreeft
Our life here on Earth has as its purpose precisely to prepare for our eternal happiness. This world is a large womb. It is a 'test' as all opportunities are tests.
Peter Kreeft
Do you know any better way to make saints than to be one yourself?
Peter Kreeft
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.
Peter Kreeft
You cannot be in love with love.
Peter Kreeft
Control language and you control thought control thought and you control action control action and you control the world.
Peter Kreeft
Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts.
Peter Kreeft
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
Grey is the devil's favorite color.
Peter Kreeft
It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
Peter Kreeft
Faith and hope bring us through time but leave us at the doorstep of eternity. Only love goes with us inside.
Peter Kreeft
The best answer to the problem of evil is not one so much found on paper but on wood.
Peter Kreeft
Since we are [Christ's] body, we too are the bread that is broken for others. Our failures help heal other lives our very tears help wipe away tears our being hated helps those we love.
