“People cheer the Bible, buy the Bible, give the Bible, own the Bible -...” — John Ortberg Quote

“People cheer the Bible, buy the Bible, give the Bible, own the Bible - they just don't actually read the Bible.”

“We do not need answers or formulas to minister in crisis.”

“I am a political junkie. During a presidential campaign, I will often buy a couple of newspapers a day just to keep up.”

“I enjoy hanging out with friends, going on hikes and playing tennis. I also enjoy Bible study and making dinners. I have a pretty mellow life away from the water.”

“The Bible, as a revelation from God, was not designed to give us all the information we might desire, nor to solve all the questions about which the human soul is perplexed, but to impart enough to be a safe guide to the haven of eternal rest.”

“I read the Bible, I speak through issues, I see what I think is hypocrisy in the church and things that are wrong, and I speak to these things. But I could be wrong.”
