Famous Chris Hodges Quotes

“Remember, God isn't looking for perfection. He's looking for humility and honesty about our need for Him--our brokenness. The Bible tells us God is especially attracted to a repentant heart. "My sacrifice, oh God, is a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise." (Psalm 51:17)”

“As we saw time and time again, Daniel stood his ground; even risking his life to oppose the cultural pressure surrounding him. He didn't argue, defend, explain, or debate. He simply made his boundaries clear with direct, respectful communication. As a result, Daniel shone like a beacon of God's truth for 70 years--valued and esteemed by 4 different Babylonian regimes.”

“When culture shifts--and we know it always will--we should get excited. Because in the midst of those chaotic, unsettling changes, we live on solid ground. In Christ, we have the hope the world needs. And like the prophet Daniel, we are catalysts for redemptive change--people of influence, who know our goal is not to be right, but to be effective.”

“Probably one of the most surprising discoveries I've made while studying the Bible is that God does not condone religion. It's a consistent theme throughout scripture. Religion is man's external effort to please God. But God doesn't care about all my efforts to get it right. He wants more, something far greater.”
