More quotes by Rob Bell
The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.
Rob Bell
Times change. God doesn’t, but times do. We learn and grow, and the world around us shifts, and the Christian faith is alive only when it is listening, morphing, innovating, letting go of whatever has gotten in the way of Jesus and embracing whatever will help us be more and more the people God wants us to be.
Rob Bell
Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.
Rob Bell
To me some of the greatest writing is when somebody puts something in words that you felt and experienced and you go, that's it.
Rob Bell
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.
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
What we believe about heaven and hell is incredibly important because it exposes what we believe about who God is and what God is like.
Rob Bell
The danger is that in reaction to abuses and distortions of an idea, we'll reject it completely. And in the process miss out on the good of it, the worth of it, the truth of it.
Rob Bell
There are moments when we have to return to our roots.
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
The interactions I have are with people who are very kind and very grateful and they say very overwhelming things to me. Somebody who doesn't like what I do or doesn't understand it, then it wasn't for them.
Rob Bell
Often the people most concerned about others going to hell when they die seem less concerned with the hells on earth right now, while the people most concerned with the hells on earth right now seem the least concerned about hell after death.
Rob Bell
At the center of the Christian tradition since the first church have been a number who insist that history is not tragic, hell is not forever, and love, in the end, wins and all will be reconciled to God.
Rob Bell
People have a view of a God who is terrible that they can't even imagine being loving or wanting anything to do with.
Rob Bell
We need to return to the simplicity that God is love.
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
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
To be honest with you, I am passionate about all the people out there who want to know Jesus, they want to know God, and they are sick of a system that is hung up on a bunch of things that have nothing to do with the love of God.
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.
Rob Bell
The world is desperately in need of people who will break themselves open and pour themselves out for the reconciliation of all things- that's what the world needs.
