Eugene H. Peterson frases e citações

“Não nos é apenas dito que Jesus é o Filho de Deus; não apenas nos tornamos beneficiários da sua redenção; somos convidados a morrer a sua morte e a viver a Sua Vida com a liberdade e a dignidade de participantes. E aqui está o aspecto mais maravilhoso: nós entramos na história sem nos tornarmos o centro da história.”

The Jesus Way: A Conversation on the Ways That Jesus Is the Way

“The puzzle is why so many people live so badly. Not so wickedly, but so inanely. Not so cruelly, but so stupidly. There is little to admire and less to imitate in the people who are prominent in our culture. We have celebrities but not saints. Famous entertainers amuse a nation of bored insomniacs. Infamous criminals act out the aggressions of timid conformists. Petulant and spoiled athletes play games vicariously for lazy and apathetic spectators. People, aimless and bored, amuse themselves with trivia and trash. Neither the adventure of goodness nor the pursuit of justice gets headlines.”
