“One thing I have learned in institutions is not to press hard on the fact that their inmates are, like the rest of mankind, sinners; for they, like many others, are liable to confuse the generic term "sinner" with the specific term "criminal." Most of us are so accustomed to admit that we have fallen short of grace and are "miserable offenders," in view of our possibilities and opportunities, that we do not resent being called "sinners"; but not so with our congregation.” HardFactsOpportunityTermSinViewsGraceOne ThingMankindCrimePossibilityInstitutionsPressesCriminalsMiserableFallenSinnerI Have LearnedAccustomedResentLiableCongregationOffendersGenericInmates Author:Mary B.

“My central claim is that we become like Christ by doing one thing-by following Him in the overall style of life He chose for Himself. If we have faith in Christ, we must believe that He knew how to live. We can, through faith and grace, become like Christ by practicing the types of activities He engaged in, by arranging our whole lives around the activities He Himself practiced in order to remain constantly at home in the fellowship of the Father.” IfsBelieveWholeHomeOrderFatherChristGraceOne ThingStyleTypeActivityClaimsFollowingWhole LifeEngagedHave FaithFellowshipArranging Author:Dallas Willard
“Every year, I might almost say every day, that I live, I seem to see more clearly how all the rest and gladness and power of our Christian life hinges on one thing; and that is, taking God at His word, believing that He really means exactly what He says, and accepting the very words in which He reveals His goodness and grace, without substituting others or altering the precise modes and tenses which He has seen fit to use.” YearsBelieveMeanUseSeemsMightChristianAcceptingGraceOne ThingFitGoodnessChristian LifePreciseReally MeanGladnessHinges Author:Frances Ridley Havergal
