If Jesus had never lived, we would not have been able to invent him.
Philip Yancey
Image
Some of us seem so anxious about avoiding hell that we forget to celebrate our journey toward heaven.
Philip Yancey
Image
One who has been touched by grace will no longer look on those who stray as those evil people or those poor people who need our help. Nor must we search for signs of loveworthiness. Grace teaches us that God loves because of who God is, not because of who we are.

At Calvary, God accepted his own unbreakable terms of justice.
Philip Yancey
Image
I have come to know a God who has a soft spot for rebels, who recruits people like the adulterer David, the whiner Jeremiah, the traitor Peter, and the human-rights abuser Saul of Tarsus. I have come to know a God whose Son made prodigals the heroes of his stories and the trophies of his ministry.

True healing, of deep connective tissue, takes place in community. Where is God when it hurts? Where God's people are.
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.

Image
Some things just have to be believed to be seen.

Philip Yancey
Image
Rather, God has commissioned us as agents of intervention in the midst of a hostile and broken world.
Philip Yancey
Image
Jesus reserved his hardest words for the hidden sins of hypocrisy, pride, greed and legalism.
Philip Yancey
Image
We can’t expect the nation to operate by Christian principles… but we can expect this of the church.
Philip Yancey
Image
Prayer may seem at first like disengagement, a reflective time to consider God's point of view. But that vantage presses us back to accomplish God's will, the work of the kingdom. We are God's fellow workers, and as such we turn to prayer to equip us for the partnership.

Nature was one of the key forces that brought me back to God, for I wanted to know the Artist responsible for beauty such as I saw on grand scale in photos from space telescopes or on minute scale such as in the intricate designs on a butterfly wing.

Prayer is a declaration of dependence upon God.

God loves people because of who God is, not because of who we are.
