“I would far rather convey grace than explain it.”

“I rejected the church for a time because I found so little grace there. I returned because I found grace nowhere else.”

“We do well to remember that the Bible has far more to say about how to live during the journey than about the ultimate destination.”

“If my activism, however well-motivated, drives out love, then I have misunderstood Jesus’ gospel. I am stuck with law, not the gospel of grace.”

“Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.”

“Grace is free only because the giver himself has borne the cost.”

“We are all trophies of God’s grace, some more dramatically than others; Jesus came for the sick and not the well, for the sinner and not the righteous. He came to redeem and transform, to make all things new. May you go forth more committed than ever to nourish the souls who you touch, those tender lives who have sustained the enormous assaults of the universe. (pp.88)”
