More quotes by Rob Bell
It's absolutely crucial that we come face to face with the power of our choices.
Rob Bell
A lot of Christians have been taught a story that begins in chapter 3 of Genesis, instead of chapter 1. If your story doesn't begin in the beginning, but begins in chapter 3, then it starts with sin, and so the story becomes about dealing with the sin problem. So Jesus is seen as primarily dealing with our sins.
Rob Bell
Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.

You turn the light on, you get all kinds of bugs.
Rob Bell
You can be living in a big house, driving a nice car, going on exotic vacations and still be empty inside, crippled with fear and dread.

When someone wrongs us, we rarely (if ever) want to do the same thing back. Why? Because we want to do something more harmful. Likewise, when someone insults us, our instinct is to search for words that will be more insulting.Revenge always escalates.

That breath that you just took, that's a gift!
Rob Bell
When someone sets out to be controversial or provocative or shocking as an end in itself, I don't think that's a noble goal.

You can set your intention to better understand your soul, your spirit, through daily practices like prayer, yoga and meditation, etc.
Rob Bell
When you forgive somebody, when you are generous, when you withhold judgment, when you love and when you stand up to injustice, you are, in that moment, bringing heaven to earth.
Rob Bell
The hardness of the human heart makes no sense.
Rob Bell
The fact that we are loved and accepted and forgiven in spite of everything we have done is simply too good to be true.
Rob Bell
To elevate abstract doctrines and dogmas over living, breathing, embodied experiences of God's love and grace, then, is going the wrong direction. It's taking flesh and turning it back into words.
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
For Jesus, heaven and hell were present realities. Ways of living we can enter into here and now. He talked very little of the life beyond this one.
Rob Bell
This breath, and this moment, and this life is a gift and we are all in this together. We all have countless choices every day to close down or stand up straight and open up, and take a big breath and say YES to the gift.
Rob Bell
People received, affirmed and experienced grace in many different forms.
Rob Bell
When we deny the spiritual dimension to our existence, we end up living like animals. And when we deny the physical, sexual dimension to our existence, we end up living like angels. And both ways are destructive, because God made us human.
Rob Bell
Fear wants us to become obsessed with some event or person in the future, a year, a month, even a day. It also wants us to look backwards not at our successes, but our short-comings and our failures. Fear losses it's grip when we stay in the now.
