More quotes by Philip Yancey
The uncommitted share many of our core values, but if we do not live out those values in a compelling way, we will not awaken a thirst for their ultimate Source.
Philip Yancey
Life with God is an individual matter, and general formulas do not easily apply.
Philip Yancey
I would far rather convey grace than explain it.
Philip Yancey
Homeless people bear God's image too.
Philip Yancey
God operates by different rules of time and space. And God's infinite greatness, which we would expect to diminish us, actually makes possible the very closeness that we desire. A God unbound by our rules of time has the ability to invest in every person on earth. God has, quite literally, all the time in the world for each one of us.
Philip Yancey
Pain narrows vision. The most private of sensations, it forces us to think of ourselves and little else.
Philip Yancey
By striving to prove how much they deserve God's love, legalists miss the whole point of the gospel, that it is a gift from God to people who don't deserve it. The solution to sin is not to impose an ever-stricter code of behavior. It is to know God.
Philip Yancey
People want to go back to those old days, but it's probably not going to happen.
Philip Yancey
The Cross of Christ may have overcome evil, but it did not overcome unfairness. For that, Easter is required.
Philip Yancey
You can know the law by heart without knowing the heart of it
Philip Yancey
Most observers understand the difference between a committed Christian who accepts Jesus as a model for living and a 'cultural Christian' who happens to live in a nation with a Christian heritage. Most Muslims do not.
Philip Yancey
Only in prayer can we learn to love God with all our heart, mind and soul.
Philip Yancey
Power, no matter how well-intentioned, tends to cause suffering. Love, being vulnerable, absorbs it. In a point of convergence on a hill called Calvary, God renounced the one for the sake of the other.
Philip Yancey
Prayer enters the pool of God's love and widens outward.
Philip Yancey
Yet as I read the birth stories about Jesus I cannot help but conclude that though the world may be tilted toward the rich and powerful, God is tilted toward the underdog.
Philip Yancey
The world thirsts for grace. When grace descends, the world falls silent before it.
Philip Yancey
Doubt always coexists with faith, for in the presence of certainty who would need faith at all?
Philip Yancey
Grace is free only because the giver himself has borne the cost.
Philip Yancey
And perhaps, exhibiting the fruit of the Spirit may be our very best defense against a materialist view of mankind here on earth.
Philip Yancey
Prayer unfolds in the stillness of the soul.
