More quotes by Philip Yancey
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
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
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.
Philip Yancey
On a small scale, person-to-person, Jesus encountered the kinds of suffering common to all of us. And how did he respond? Avoiding philosophical theories and theological lessons, he reached out with healing and compassion. He forgave sin, healed the afflicted, cast out evil, and even overcame death.
Philip Yancey

Philip Yancey

Philip Yancey
Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.
Philip Yancey
Be salt, and a little bit of salt keeps the whole society from going rancid.
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
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.
Philip Yancey
[Jesus] invoked a different kind of power: love, not coercion.
Philip Yancey
Jesus' response to suffering people and to nobodies provides a glimpse into the heart of God. God is not the unmoved Absolute, but rather the Loving One who draws near.
