More quotes by Rob Bell
Suffering is traumatic and awful and we get angry and we shake our fists at the heavens and we vent and rage and weep. But in the process we discover a new tomorrow, one we never would have imagined otherwise.
Rob Bell
We need to return to the simplicity that God is love.
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
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
The cross is God taking on flesh and blood and saying, Me too.
Rob Bell
It's absolutely crucial that we come face to face with the power of our choices.
Rob Bell
A good sermon is going to disturb the comfortable and comfort the disturbed. It inspires you. It provokes you. It should make your soul soar.
Rob Bell
The moment God is figured out with nice neat lines and definitions, we are no longer dealing with God.
Rob Bell
Like a mirror, God appears to be more and more a reflection of whoever it is that happens to be talking about God at the moment.
Rob Bell
God has spoken, and everything else is commentary.

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.
Rob Bell
God is bigger than the Christian faith.
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
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
The life you want begins by embracing the life you have.
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
Many people confuse religion with God and walk away from them both. The point isn't Christianity, the point is being a Christian.
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
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
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.
