More quotes by Rob Bell
The hardness of the human heart makes no sense.
Rob Bell
If your faith is threatened by something that's true, then it wasn't much of a faith to begin with, was it?
Rob Bell
Salvation is the entire universe being brought back into harmony with its maker.
Rob Bell
We embrace truth wherever we find it from whoever says it however we come across it. It's a big beautiful exotic heartbreaking mysterious world we live in and it's our home and we get to explore and learn and affirm truth wherever we find it.
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.

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.

I got into pastoring because of the art form. I started a church, but I felt the art form needed to be freed for all people. A particular religion over others was never interesting to me. I wanted to talk to people about what it means to be alive and what it means to be human.

Christian' makes a poor adjective

If the gospel isn't good news for everybody, then it isn't good news for anybody.
Rob Bell
Suffering, it turns out, demands profound imagination. A new future has to be conjured up because the old future isn't there anymore.
Rob Bell
God has spoken, and everything else is commentary.
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
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
The life you want begins by embracing the life you have.
Rob Bell
Celebrity seems totally at odds with authentic community and honest, real sorts of relationships.
Rob Bell
The Christian faith is mysterious to the core. It is about things and beings that ultimately can't be put into words. Language fails. And if we do definitively put God into words, we have at that very moment made God something God is not.
Rob Bell
My interest is in what's true, where is the life, where is the heart and what inspires.
Rob Bell
Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.
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.
Rob Bell
I'm interested in painting the most beautifully compelling pictures and images and metaphors and stories and explanations possible that will put Jesus in language for a world that desperately needs to hear it.
