Don Miller quotes on god

31. The more I ponder God's way, the more I believe He changes a person, or molds a person, through enlightenment. He changes a person's mind.

33. 'I think that is a big problem with a lot of Christians,' Paul begins. 'We want to feel special. And there are times when it does, you know. But not all the time. Sometimes life just feels like life. We have to put ouf faith in God.

35. 'But I think that God does not so much take us from point A to point B in the physical world as He takes us from not knowing Him to knowing Him.'

94. It comforts me to think that if we are created beings, the thing that created us would have to be greater than us, so much greater, in fact, that we would not be able to understand it. It would have to be greater than the facts of our reality, and so it would seem to us, look out from within our reality, that is would contradict reason. But reason itself would suggest it would have to be greater that reality, or it would not be reasonable.

95. Many of our attempts to understand Christian faith have only cheapened it. I can no more understand the totality of God that the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me. The little we do understand, that grain of sand our minds are capable of grasping, those ideas such as God is good, God feels, God loves, God knows all, are enough to keep our hearts dwelling on His majesty and otherness forever.

97. I think we have two choices in the face us such big beauty: terror and awe. And this is precisely why we attempt to chart God, because we want to be able to predict Him, to dissect Him, to carry Him around in our dog and pony show. We are too proud to feel awe and to fearful to feel terror. We reduce Him to math so we don't have to fear Him, and yet the Bible tells us fear is the appropriate response, that it is the beginning of wisdom.

98. Too much of our time is spent trying to chart God on a grid, and too little is spent allowing our hearts to feel awe. By reducing Christian spirituality to formula, we deprive our hearts of wonder.
