Bart Millard Quotes

The meaning of life. The wasted years of life. The poor choices of life. God answers the mess of life with one word: 'grace.'

God's mercy and grace give me hope - for myself, and for our world.

I'm unfinished. I'm unfixed. And the reality is that's where God meets me is in the mess of my life, in the unfixedness, in the brokenness. I thought he did the opposite, he got rid of all that stuff. But if you read the Bible, if you look at it at all, constantly he was showing up in people's lives at the worst possible time of their life.

No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!

When we love like Jesus does, lives change for the better.

Our God is a forgiving God.

I started writing music in a season of my life where people were telling me I wasn't defined by mistakes, and God really loved me and was fighting for me, and there was a journey to be had with that. And I don't know of a more important message.

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

The Gospel offers forgiveness for the past, new life for the present, and hope for the future.

I just want people to know out there no matter what they've done, God doesn't judge us on how many sins. God is there for us. He loves us. He wants us to turn it over to Him.

I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don't see how I can ever trust any human being again.

Sin does not stop God's grace from flowing, but God's grace will stop sin.

In contrast, Christianity, while acknowledging the presence of suffering, declares that life can be infinitely worth living and opens the way to eternal life in fellowship with God Who so loved the world that He gave Himself in Christ.

I don't think anyone, until their soul leaves their body, is past the point of no return.

Outside of the cross of Jesus Christ, there is no hope in this world. That cross and resurrection at the core of the Gospel is the only hope for humanity. Wherever you go, ask God for wisdom on how to get that Gospel in, even in the toughest situations of life.

I cannot imagine a more realistic faith than the Christian faith. At every turn, we are told we are death-determined creatures and that our lives, our all too brief lives, at the very least will be complex if not difficult.

I have to believe that people can change, otherwise I deny the Gospel, and I will not do that.

God's not thinking about your mistakes, failures or shortcomings. No, His thoughts toward you are good.

The thing I want to really say is that I still mess up. I still go out there and say things on TV that I know the Lord is like, 'Sherri what are you doing?' but I know I can go back and get on my knees and say, 'Lord forgive me.' I know he will never leave me nor forsake me. The wonderful thing is He answers my prayers in spite of me.

You've got to be willing to forgive and say, 'God, get something good out of something bad.' And if you'll make that choice... God will do it.

The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

What gives me the most hope every day is God's grace; knowing that his grace is going to give me the strength for whatever I face, knowing that nothing is a surprise to God.

No matter what, God is on my side. I'm not perfect, but I'm not the worst, either.

Jesus means life to me. Jesus is our savior. When I think about Jesus, I think about the sacrifice He made so that we may have eternal life. I can certainly tell you I'm not afraid to die, and I certainly have a peace about my life.

I believe in second chances.
