As long as your heart is beating, there is a God who is listening to the cry of your heart. I can’t say how things will work out for you, but I can say this with confidence.

Ron M. Phillips (* 1947) ist ein US-amerikanischer Pastor und Autor, der von 1979 bis 2017 die Großgemeinde Abba’s House in Tennessee leitete. Bekannt wurde er durch den Versuch, baptistische Theologie mit charismatischer Frömmigkeit zu verbinden, womit er innerhalb der traditionell zessionalistischen Southern Baptist Convention anhaltende theologische Kontroversen auslöste. Heutigen Bibellesern vermitteln seine Texte Impulse zu geistlicher Erneuerung, Gebet und dem Wirken des Heiligen Geistes.
