Philip Yancey
Image
We often surround ourselves with the people we most want to live with, thus forming a club or clique, not a community. Anyone can form a club it takes grace, shared vision, and hard work to form a community.
Philip Yancey

Repentance, not proper behavior or even holiness, is the doorway to grace. And the opposite of sin is grace, not virtue.
Philip Yancey
Image
Jesus announced a great reversal of values in His Sermon on the Mount, elevating not the rich or attractive, but rather the poor, the persecuted, and those who mourn.
Philip Yancey
Image
The world is not against you, but the world is a place where bad things happen. It's just true. Airlines crash, people do evil things. A lot of bad things happen and it causes pain.
Philip Yancey
