What we do comes out of who we believe we are.
Rob Bell
The great German scholar Helmut Thielicke once said that a person who speaks to this hour’s need will always be skirting the edge of heresy, but only the person who risks those heresies can gain the truth.

Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.

When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.
Rob Bell
My experience is that lots of people go to church, sing the songs, tell the story, etc but have profound ambivalence about God.
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
What does happen constantly with all kinds of people I meet is they say I had this encounter with Jesus, can you help me understand it... The labels, more than ever, simply aren't big enough to contain what the cosmic Christ is up to in the world.
Rob Bell
We shape our God, and then our God shapes us.

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
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
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
It is better to be fully present and rested and engaged for one thing than rushed, distracted, and scattered for ten.
Rob Bell
We need a childlike trust that God is good... ultimately we are OK. That is a simple, beautiful pure thing that can be complicated ferociously by all sorts of intellectual categories.
Rob Bell
The thought of the word church and the word marketing in the same sentence makes me sick.
Rob Bell
I'm very comfortable in a room with thousands of people.
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
God has spoken, and everything else is commentary.
