We do not do good works to get into heaven we do good works because heaven has gotten to us.
Peter Kreeft
Image
We sin because we see sin as a bargain. We unconsciously calculate that it’s worth it, that it pays.

Image
Most people believe you have to have some moral absolutes if you want to hold back chaos.
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
Like white light refracted through a prism and split into many colors, God's eternal love-nature, expressed through the prism of time, becomes God's multicolored love story. History is His story.

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.

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.

To those of you who would classify yourselves as conservatives I would say, meditate long and hard on Jesus' saying Whatever you do to the least of these you have done to me.
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
If a person claims to have met Jesus without being changed then they have not met the real Jesus.
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.

Peace is a mark of the Holy Spirit.
Peter Kreeft
Image
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
Image
The modern mind always tends to reduce the greater to the lesser rather than seeing the lesser as reflecting the greater.
Peter Kreeft
Image
It is the Godfather, not God the Father, who makes you an offer you can’t refuse.
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.

The six things in life that never get boring are knowing and loving God, your neighbor, and yourself.
