Text Quotes
The kingdom is not an exclusive, well-trimmed suburb with snobbish rules about who can live there. No, it is for a larger, homelier, less self-conscious caste of people who understand they are sinners because they have experienced the yaw and pitch of moral struggle (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The deeper we grow in the Spirit of Jesus Christ, the poorer we become - the more we realize that everything in life is a gift. The tenor of our lives becomes one of humble and joyful thanksgiving. Awareness of our poverty and ineptitude causes us to rejoice in the gift of being called out of darkness into wondrous light and translated into the kingdom of God’s beloved Son (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Quia amasti me, fecisti me amabilem. (In loving me, you made me lovable.) (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Craving clarity, we attempt to eliminate the risk of trusting God. Fear of the unknown path stretching ahead of us destroys childlike trust in the Father’s active goodness and unrestricted love (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Trust is our gift back to God, and he finds it so enchanting that Jesus died for love of it (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The deepest desire of our hearts is for union for God. God created us for union with himself. This is the original purpose of our lives (Brennan Manning Quotes)
I believe that the real difference in the American church is not between conservatives and liberals, fundamentalists and charismatics, nor between Republicans and Democrats. The real difference is between the aware and the unaware (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The anything-goes passiveness of the religious and political Left is matched by the preachy moralism of the religious and political Right. The person who uncritically embraces any party line is guilty of an idolatrous surrender of her core identity as Abba’s Child. Neither liberal fairy dust nor conservative hardball addresses our ragged human dignity (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Put bluntly, the American church today accepts grace in theory but denies it in practice. We say we believe that the fundamental structure of reality is grace, not works - but our lives refute our faith (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Sin and forgiveness and falling and getting back up and losing the pearl of great price in the couch cushions but then finding it again, and again, and again? Those are the stumbling steps to becoming Real, the only script that’s really worth following in this world or the one that’s coming (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The secret of the mystery is: God is always greater. No matter how great we think Him to be, His love is always greater (Brennan Manning Quotes)
There is an essential connection between experiencing God, loving God, and trusting God. You will trust God only as much as you love him. And you will love him to the extent you have touched him, rather that he has touched you (Brennan Manning Quotes)
When absolute control and rigid obedience pose as love within the family and the local faith-community , we produce trained cowards rather than Christian persons (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Authentic Christianity should lead to maturity, personality, and reality. It should fashion whole men and women living lives of love and communion (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Today on planet Earth, may you experience the wonder and beauty of yourself as Abba’s Child and temple of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Jesus comes for sinners, for those outcast...and those caught up in squalid choices and failed dreams. (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Childlike in faith means the daily acknowledgment of utter dependence and that I owe my life and being to another. (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Our culture says that ruthless competition is the key to success. Jesus says that ruthless compassion is the purpose of our journey. (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust - not only for all the gifts that I receive from God, but gratitude for all the suffering. Because in that purifying experience, suffering has often been the shortest path to intimacy with God. (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The first step in faith is to stop thinking about God at the time of prayer.- (Brennan Manning Quotes)
False gods - the gods of human understanding - despise sinners, but the Father of Jesus loves all, no matter what they do. But of course this is almost too incredible for us to accept. (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Our huffing and puffing to impress God, our scrambling for brownie points, our thrashing about trying to fix ourselves while hiding our pettiness and wallowing in guilt are nauseating to God and are a flat out denial of the gospel of grace. (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Genuine self-acceptance is not derived from the power of positive thinking, mind games or pop psychology. IT IS AN ACT OF FAITH in the God of grace. (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The God who exacts the last drop of blood from his Son so that his just anger, evoked by sin, may be appeased, is not the God revealed by and in Jesus Christ. And if he is not the God of Jesus, he does not exist. (Brennan Manning Quotes)
For me the most radical demand of Christian faith lies in summoning the courage to say yes to the present risenness of Jesus Christ (Brennan Manning Quotes)
That which is denied cannot be healed (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust (Brennan Manning Quotes)
It is for the inconsistent, unsteady disciples whose cheese is falling off their cracker (Brennan Manning Quotes)
Our hearts of stone become hearts of flesh when we learn where the outcast weeps (Brennan Manning Quotes)
The ragamuffin gospel says we can’t lose, because we have nothing to lose (Brennan Manning Quotes)
