“Hope is not a strategy.” The same broken plan with more hope will never produce a bigger impact.”
― Tony Morgan, Developing a Theology of Planning

“What Paul is saying is that the gospel strengthens us through the Spirit to see things in our society that others do not. We are called, as the people of God, to wake up. To see what others don’t and call it out. The church in America is not awake to the reality of what is happening in communities across this nation, and we are missing out on our calling to shine the light into these places of darkness for Christ’s glory.”
― Eric Mason, Woke Church: An Urgent Call for Christians in America to Confront Racism and Injustice

“The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing.” The sorrows for the appointed feasts I will remove from you; they are a burden and a reproach to you. At that time I will deal with all who oppressed you; I will rescue the lame and gather those who have been scattered. I will give them praise and honor in every land where they were put to shame. At that time I will gather you; at that time I will bring you home. I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth when I restore your fortunes before your very eyes,” says the LORD.”
― Anonymous, New Women's Devotional Bible

“People often learn more from getting an undeserved pass than they would from being punished.”
