Salvation is the entire universe being brought back into harmony with its maker.
Rob Bell
God is bigger than the Christian faith.
Rob Bell
It takes quite a spine to turn the other cheek. It takes phenomenal fortitude to love your enemy. It takes firm resolve to pray for those who persecute you. (with reference to Matthew 5)
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.
Rob Bell
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
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
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.
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
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
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 moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.
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
You're here, you're breathing, you are the recipient of an extraordinary act of generosity called life.
Rob Bell
Sociologically, large groups of people don't generally have massive changes in their belief instantaneously.
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
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
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
I think the church needs – I think this is the world we are living in and we need to affirm people wherever they are.
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.
