John Ortberg Doe Quotations

Failure does not shape you; the way you respond to failure shapes you.

How hard is it for God to get your attention? Do you regularly practice turning aside in your day? That is, taking a moment to listen to God- because God, through the Holy Spirit, really is speaking, because we know, every place is filled with the presence of God. There is not an inch of space, not a moment of time, that God does not inhabit.

The Bible does not say you are God’s appliance; it says you are his masterpiece. Appliances get mass-produced.

There is no way for a human being to come to God that does not involve surrender.

Peace does not lie in getting God to give me other circumstances. Peace lies in finding God in these circumstances.
