More quotes by Rob Bell
I have been told that I need to believe in Jesus. Which is a good thing. But what I am learning is that Jesus believes in me.
Rob Bell
It's as if Thomas Kinkade and Dante were at a party, and one turned to the other sometime after midnight and uttered that classic line You know, we really should work together sometime.

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.

If the gospel isn't good news for everybody, then it isn't good news for anybody.

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.

Christian is a great noun and a poor adjective
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.

Celebrity seems totally at odds with authentic community and honest, real sorts of relationships.
Rob Bell
There's way too much wonder and mystery all around us to not stay open to more that's going on here. You can wake up, and sense and feel and taste and hear a whole world right here within this one, right here in this breath you're about to take.
Rob Bell
The hardness of the human heart makes no sense.
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.
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
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.

We all want to make a difference, to live in peace, to have joy each morning that we get to live this day and see what it brings.
