More quotes by Philip Yancey
The Cross of Christ may have overcome evil, but it did not overcome unfairness. For that, Easter is required.
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
The Gospels and the rest of the New Testament reflect the life of Jesus, what it means for us & what it means for the world.
Philip Yancey
I say this with care, but I wonder if a fierce, insistent desire for a miracle - even a physical healing - sometimes betrays a lack of faith rather than an abundance of it. When yearning for a miraculous resolution to a problem, do we make our loyalty to God contingent on whether he reveals himself yet again in the seen world?
Philip Yancey
We deserve punishment and get forgiveness we deserve God’s wrath and get God’s love.
Philip Yancey
Release what is good.
Philip Yancey
Unless we love natural goods - sex, alcohol, food, money, success, power - in the way God intended, we become their slaves, as any addict can attest.
Philip Yancey
I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will make sense only in reverse.
Philip Yancey
True healing, of deep connective tissue, takes place in community. Where is God when it hurts? Where God's people are.
Philip Yancey
All too often the church holds up a mirror reflecting back the society around it, rather than a window revealing a different way.
Philip Yancey
The giants of the faith all had one thing in common: neither victory nor success, but passion.
Philip Yancey
... the approach of admitting our errors, besides being most true to a gospel of grace, is also most effective at expressing who we are. Propaganda turns people off humbly admitting mistakes disarms.
Philip Yancey
[Jesus] invoked a different kind of power: love, not coercion.
Philip Yancey
... we need to reclaim the goodnewness of the gospel, and the best place to start is to rediscover the good news ourselves.
Philip Yancey
If God doesn't want something for me, then I shouldn't want it either.
Philip Yancey
At Calvary, God accepted his own unbreakable terms of justice.
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
If my activism, however well-motivated, drives out love, then I have misunderstood Jesus’ gospel. I am stuck with law, not the gospel of grace.
Philip Yancey
The world thirsts for grace. When grace descends, the world falls silent before it.
Philip Yancey
In no other arena is the church at greater risk of losing its calling than in the public square
