The uncommitted share many of our core values, but if we do not live out those values in a compelling way, we will not awaken a thirst for their ultimate Source.

When we ignore the world outside the walls we suffer-as does it.
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.
Philip Yancey
Image
What you and I think about Jesus and how we respond to Him will determine our destiny for all eternity.
Philip Yancey
Image
The Quakers have a saying: An enemy is one whose story we have not heard. To communicate to post-Christians, I must first listen to their stories for clues to how they view the world and how they view people like me.
Philip Yancey
Image
As a writer, I play with words all day long. I toy with them, listen for their overtones, crack them open, and try to stuff my thoughts inside.
Philip Yancey
Image
...to see that God does answer, in great things as well as small, the prayers of those who put their trust in Him will strengthen the faith of multitudes.

The self-sacrificing, servant aspect of the Christian life has many parallels to parenthood.

Power can do everything but the most important thing: it cannot control love.

People want to go back to those old days, but it's probably not going to happen.
Philip Yancey
Image
When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person.
Philip Yancey
Image
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
Image
There is but one true Giver in the universe all else are debtors.
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.
Philip Yancey
Image
God has, quite literally, all the time in the world for each one of us.
Philip Yancey
Image
The promise of pleasures so alluring that we may devote our lives to their pursuit, and then the haunting realization that these pleasures ultimately do not satisfy.
Philip Yancey
Image
I begin with confession not in order to feel miserable, rather to call to mind a reality I often ignore. When I acknowledge where I stand before a perfect God, it restores the true state of the universe. Confession simply establishes the proper ground rules of creatures relating to their creator.

Faith in God offers no insurance against tragedy.
Philip Yancey
Image
The presence of another caring person doubles the amount of pain a person can endure.

In the stories of extravagant grace given to us by Jesus, there are no loopholes disqualifying us from God's love.
