More quotes by Philip Yancey
The deadening part of Bible study is when you think you've already got it all figured out.
Philip Yancey
We're concerned with how things turn out God seems more concerned with how we turn out.
Philip Yancey
The more we love, and the more unlikely people we love, the more we resemble God - who, after all, loves ornery creatures like us.
Philip Yancey
Grace is free only because the giver himself has borne the cost.
Philip Yancey
Goodness cannot be imposed externally, from the top down it must grow internally, from the bottom up.
Philip Yancey
Our best efforts at changing society will fall short unless the church can teach the world how to love.
Philip Yancey
In the stories of extravagant grace given to us by Jesus, there are no loopholes disqualifying us from God's love.
Philip Yancey
If prayer stands as the place where God and human beings meet, then I must learn about prayer.
Philip Yancey
The presence of another caring person doubles the amount of pain a person can endure.
Philip Yancey
God loves people because of who God is, not because of who we are.
Philip Yancey
God has, quite literally, all the time in the world for each one of us.
Philip Yancey
Jesus gave us a model for the work of the church at the Last Supper. While his disciples kept proposing more organization - Hey, let's elect officers, establish hierarchy, set standards of professionalism - Jesus quietly picked up a towel and basin of water and began to wash their feet.
Philip Yancey
We grow up hungry for love, and in ways so deep as to remain unexpressed we long for our Maker to love us.
Philip Yancey
As I read the Bible, it seems clear that God satisfies his eternal appetite by loving individual human beings. I imagine He views each halting step forward in my spiritual walk with the eagerness of a parent watching a child take the very first step.
Philip Yancey
The people of God are not merely to mark time, waiting for God to step in and set right all that is wrong. Rather, they are to model the new heaven and new earth, and by so doing awaken longings for what God will someday bring to pass.
Philip Yancey
A philosophy may explain difficult things, but has no power to change them. The gospel, the story of Jesus' life, promises change.
Philip Yancey
We should be asking: How do we respond to a post-Christian society?
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
The giants of the faith all had one thing in common: neither victory nor success, but passion.
Philip Yancey
Augustine started from God's grace and got it right, Pelagius started from human effort and got it wrong. Augustine passionately pursued God Pelagius methodically worked to please God.
