Jesus viewed his own destiny - to be glorified in and through death - as an expression of a kind of cosmic principle: the pathway to life runs through death. (John Ortberg Quotes)
The church is in the hope business. We, of all people, ought to be known most for our hope because our hope is founded on something deeper than human ability or wishful thinking. (John Ortberg Quotes)
This much I have learned: human beings come with very different sets of wiring, different interests, different temperaments, different learning styles, different gifts, different temptations. These differences are tremendously important in the spiritual formation of human beings. (John Ortberg Quotes)
As a preacher who is fully human, and clearly not divine, I can’t speak as Jesus did. But I do seek to speak truth that carries weight and authority. All of us who preach the gospel aspire to speak under the authority of Jesus. (John Ortberg Quotes)
When it comes to sermon writing, generally there are two problems. Some preachers love the research stage but hate the writing, and they start writing too late. Others don’t like doing research, so they move way too fast to the writing part. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Sheldon Vanauken wrote that the strongest argument for Christianity is Christians, when they are drawing life from God. The strongest argument against Christianity? Also Christians, when they become exclusive, self-righteous, and complacent. (John Ortberg Quotes)
I am a political junkie. During a presidential campaign, I will often buy a couple of newspapers a day just to keep up. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Women are the first witnesses to the resurrection and pillars of the early church (John Ortberg Quotes)
Jesus changed how the world thinks about science, medicine, human rights, education and more (John Ortberg Quotes)
One of the hardest things in the world is to stop being the prodigal son without turning into the elder brother. (John Ortberg Quotes)
The hurried can become unhurried. But it will not happen by trying alone, nor will it happen instantly. You will have to enter a life of training. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Gratitude is what we radiate when we experience grace, and the soul was made to run on grace the way a 747 runs on rocket fuel. (John Ortberg Quotes)
The single dynamic that helps people be most aware of God and most experiencing the fruit of the Spirit is gratitude. (John Ortberg Quotes)
True joy, as it turns out, comes only to those who have devoted their lives to something greater than personal happiness. This is most visible in extraordinary lives, in saints and martyrs. But it is no less true for ordinary people like us. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Prudence is what makes someone a great commodities trader - the capacity to face reality squarely in the eye without allowing emotion or ego to get in the way. It’s what is needed by every quarterback or battlefield general. (John Ortberg Quotes)
When preaching is done right, it can change lives. When it’s done badly, my failure goes beyond the merely human. (John Ortberg Quotes)
It’s better to have the faith to embrace reality with all its pain than to cling to the false comfort of a painless fantasy. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Prudence is foresight and far-sightedness. It’s the ability to make immediate decisions on the basis of their longer-range effects. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Amusement’ is appealing because we don’t have to think; it spares us the fear and anxiety that might otherwise prey on our thoughts. (John Ortberg Quotes)
As much as we complain about it, though, there’s part of us that is drawn to a hurried life. It makes us feel important. It keeps the adrenaline pumping. It means I don’t have to look too closely at my heart or life. It keeps us from feeling our loneliness. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Peace does not lie in getting God to give me other circumstances. Peace lies in finding God in these circumstances. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Although the church has often been far too slow to follow his lead, Jesus’ insistence that women, as well as men, bear the full image of God has had a way of sparking reform movements across the centuries. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Jesus’ life as a foot-washing servant would eventually lead to the adoption of humility as a widely admired virtue. (John Ortberg Quotes)
The only true and lasting inspiration for life is genuine love for God, and submitted gratitude that I get to be a part of the redemptive quest. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Tithing is like training wheels when it comes to giving. It’s intended to help you get started, but not recommended for the Tour de France. (John Ortberg Quotes)
I have always heard that you need to give yourself a long time to unplug when you do a sabbatical. I unplugged so fast I was a little concerned that I was losing brain capacity. (John Ortberg Quotes)
Grace is the offer of God’s ceaseless presence and irrational love that cannot be stopped (John Ortberg Quotes)
It only makes sense to ask God for guidance in the context of a life committed to seeking first the kingdom. (John Ortberg Quotes)
