Favorite Ted Dekker Quotes

1. "All my books are very spiritual. I started out writing what was most natural to me, many years ago, which is religious, because I grew up in the jungle, the son of missionaries. I want to know, is God real? What's a priest's role?" ~ Ted Dekker
2. "It's critical that we use a very dark brush to paint evil. When you bring the light into that darkness as characterized in John 1, that light is very vivid. When it dispels the darkness, we see the brilliance that's there." ~ Ted Dekker
3. "What matters is discovering myself under the veneer, under the layers that are wrapped around me. There are two 'yous'; there's 'you', the real you, and then there's the image." ~ Ted Dekker
4. "If readers, young and old, would take even a moment to reflect on our rapidly shifting culture and ideology, I would be happy. Many leaders of the older generation dismiss emerging culture. Those leaders are at risk of becoming a feeble voice-piece without followers. Most of the younger generation is going deaf to the truth." ~ Ted Dekker
5. "So where does Stan fit in this equation?...We are told to meditate on scripture, even the hald that details the consequences of evil, the consequent of Jericho and all. Not to pretend out God has somehow changed since the time of Christ. Obviously, Paul's idea of admirable and noble is quite different from ours. God forgives us, Bill. We have mocked His victory by whitewashing the enemy for the sake of our neighbirs approval."No Greater Love has any man..." ~ Ted Dekker
6. "Adrenaline dulls reason; panic kills it." ~ Ted Dekker
7. "...I once thought I defeated the evil in my heart. I learned something: We can face our demons, burn them up, stomp them into the ground. I turned mine to ashes. But even if you destroy the evidence of evil, you can't heal your heart. Not by yourself." ~ Ted Dekker
8. "Austin cleared his throat. Given the choice between being with books or people, he'd always choose books. You could always tell what a book thought without needing to have a confrontation. People, on the other hand, defensively clung to their need to be right no matter how flawed their thinking." ~ Ted Dekker
9. "How can there be love without a true choice? Would you suggest that man be stripped of the capacity to love?" ~ Ted Dekker
10. "Perfect, that's our plan then. But you'll have to give up being a priest first. I wouldn't want to just sit around whispering and sipping hot chocolate." ~ Ted Dekker
11. "My beloved, you have chosen me. You have been courted by my adversary, and you have chosen me. You have answered my call to the Circle, and today I call you my bride." ~ Ted Dekker
12. "He was as needy as she was. Alvin Finch only wanted to be needed. Loved. And absent of either, he resorted to deflecting his pain by killing. Just like a teenager might resort to deflecting the pain of rejection by cutting. People did a lot of crazy things to be wanted." ~ Ted Dekker
13. "The Great Romance is for you. If only one of you would have followed me, the heavens would not have been able to contain my cries of joy." ~ Ted Dekker
14. "Cause I don't think we ever really get over our childhood. It's always there, waiting." ~ Ted Dekker
15. "It is. And yet so few really are free. Nearly all people live in prisons of their own making, regardless of their faith, creed, sex or race." ~ Ted Dekker
16. "It's rude to run off a guest.It's rude to wear out your welcome." ~ Ted Dekker

21. "God is obviouslt God, and Heaven obviously exsists, and every word spoken here on earth turns heads up there." ~ Ted Dekker
22. "Live to discover, as long as discovery leads to a love that comes from the Creator... writing was the mirror to life." ~ Ted Dekker
23. "There is indeed good and there is indeed evil, and both walk the earth. But good has little to do with the forms of religion, and evil has as little to do with so much behavior condemned by religion. Both good and evil vie for the passions of the heart. For love!" ~ Ted Dekker
24. "I BELIEVE!!!!!!!"- Johnny" ~ Ted Dekker
25. "Will you follow me, Darsal? Will you Silvie? Will you both follow me to hell and back because two fuzzy white bats told me you should?" ~ Ted Dekker
26. "Where is God? Where can I find him?" we ask. We don't realize that's like a fish swimming frantically through the ocean in search OF the ocean" ~ Ted Dekker
27. "Some would say the Creator is a lamb. Some would say he's a lion. Some would say both. The fact is, he is neither a lamb nor a lion. These are fiction. Metaphors. Yet the Creator is both a lamb and a lion. These are both truths." ~ Ted Dekker
28. "Light came into the darkness, but the darkness didn't understand it," Susan said. "Look to the light. Only the light can save you from yourself." ~ Ted Dekker
29. "Living is about clucking your tongue and enjoying the sound.~Slater" ~ Ted Dekker
30. "What is pure Bill? Or excellent or admirable? The death of a million people in a flood? God evidently through so. He is incapable of acts that are not admirable, and it is He who brought about the Flood. How about the slaying of children in Jericho? There are a few Bible stories that are not as terrible as they are happy. We just prefer to leave out the terrible part, but that only makes the good anemic." ~ Ted Dekker
31. "I sell ideas. Actually, if you think about it, everything is really no more than idea. The past is nothing more than a memory, which is one kind of idea. The future is still a hope, another kind of idea. The present is fleeting and becomes a memory before you can put your hands on it. All ideas. I sell ideas." ~ Ted Dekker
32. "And he wants you to keep that at the front of your mind? He wants you to stay focused on the darkest seasons of your life? How could that possibly do any good?'. . . He wants you to remember who delivered you from that time. That's the point of holding on to memory: delivery, not darkness." ~ Ted Dekker
33. "Our lives hang in the balance of unpredictable situations. One minute you're driving down the road whistling a tune, the next moment the car right in front of you spins out of control and crashes. How you prepare for those unpredictable occurrences determines whether you live or die. Always leave an empty lane to your right or left for escape." ~ Ted Dekker
34. "And does man simply choose evil, or does he create it?" ~ Ted Dekker
35. "The point is, we were created to love beauty. We love beauty because Elyon loves beauty. We love song because Elyon loves song. We love love because Elyon loves love. And we love to be loved because Elyon loves to be loved. In all these ways we are like Elyon. In one way or another, everything we do is tied to this unfolding story of love between us and Elyon." ~ Ted Dekker

It's inside them there. In some ways it makes it worse. You don't know who's diseased and who isn't. You don't know when you've become a Scab." ~ Ted Dekker
43. "Everyone wanted to create his own history. There was nothing as powerful as the written word; history had taught them all that much." ~ Ted Dekker

45. "Pape called Basil his sanctuary. In truth we all exist in our own sanctuaries-but I don't mean cathedrals or prisons. I'm talking about our hearts and minds, which imprison us in anxiety, dear, insecurity, anger and other forms of misery. The walls & bars that keep most in a constant state of suffering are thoughts and emotions, not concrete & steel. It's a disease. Insanity. Most are afflicted by it, regardless of which side of the law they find themselves on or where they lay their heads at night. To be free of this, Renee, is to be free indeed." ~ Ted Dekker
46. "Never mistake a woman as an opportunity for bliss." ~ Ted Dekker
47. "Do you believe?"I believe," he said softly.What do you believe?"I believe that I will kill these two to save my wife and son."Belief. Something about belief mattered greatly." ~ Ted Dekker
48. "If you could find a way to peel back the skin of this world so to speak, would you really see this supernatural reality that is greater? Is it true that we fight not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers? Every young person wants to know." ~ Ted Dekker
49. "Most believers struggle to really believe in the supernatural as a meaningful, deterministic reality except during moments when they are drawn to it, perhaps during a worship service or while reading a novel like 'Adam.' Being drawn to this truth is the first step to living a life in accordance to this truth." ~ Ted Dekker
50. "My research for 'Adam' affected me profoundly, particularly the research into evil's underbelly. We tend not to think about evil until it pokes its head out of the air about us and then it tends to scare us silly. As well it should." ~ Ted Dekker
