More quotes by Rob Bell
Why blame the dark for being dark? It is far more helpful to ask why the light isn’t as bright as it could be.
Rob Bell
Look at the size of the universe and look at what we're discovering about string theory. There's a wide-eyed sense of we're just getting started here.
Rob Bell
I like to say that I practice militant mysticism. I'm really absolutely sure of some things that I don't quite know.
Rob Bell
It often appears that those who talk the most about going to heaven when you die talk the least about bringing heaven to earth right now, as Jesus taught us to pray: 'Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.' At the same time, it often appears that those who talk the most about relieving suffering now talk the least about heaven when we die.

The historical orthodox Christian faith is extremely wide and diverse.
Rob Bell
That may sound a big vague, but what has struck me in city after city is that despite our differences and diversity, there's a common humanity we all share. In many ways we're all searching and longing for the same things.

There's nothing wrong with possessions it's just that they have value to us only when we use them, engage them, and enjoy them. They're nouns that mean something only in conjunction with verbs. That's why wealth is so dangerous: if you're not careful you can easily end up with a garage full of nouns.
Rob Bell
Agape doesn't love somebody because they're worthy. Agape makes them worthy by the strength and power of its love. Agape doesn't love somebody because they're beautiful. Agape loves in such a way that it makes them beautiful.
Rob Bell
That breath that you just took, that's a gift!
Rob Bell
We can choose the way of compassion, the way of forgiveness, the way of generosity. Or we can choose other paths and those have very real consequences in the world. This is absolutely crucial.
Rob Bell
Questions are not scary. What is scary is when people don’t have any. What is tragic is faith that has no room for them.
Rob Bell
Christian is a great noun and a poor adjective
Rob Bell
What we do comes out of who we believe we are.
Rob Bell
It's absolutely crucial that we come face to face with the power of our choices.
Rob Bell
Something is profoundly wrong and we are desperate for justice, for restoration and for somebody somewhere to do something about this.
Rob Bell
When the lab rats hear the bell ringing, they freeze. That's what fear does to you - fear stops you dead in your tracks. Fear can keep you from harm, but fear can also rob you of your potential. Fear can rob you of an experience. Fear can rob you of happiness. Fear can rob you of real life... Darkness has a way of scaring us.
Rob Bell
You can set your intention to better understand your soul, your spirit, through daily practices like prayer, yoga and meditation, etc.
Rob Bell
Your deepest, darkest sins and your shameful secrets are simply irrelevant when it comes to the counterintuitive, ecstatic announcement of the gospel. So are your goodness, your rightness, your church attendance, and all of the wise, moral, mature decisions you have made and actions you have taken.
