“Children live their lives with simplicity, not having acquired the mindset of harming others to gain some level of self-imposed success. A child—whether seven or seventy—is that person who still has a trusting heart, who is still dependent upon the Father and who has not lost the God-given gift of humility.”
― Ronnie McBrayer, How Far Is Heaven?: Rediscovering the Kingdom of God in the Here and Now

“Without wavering, hold to your confession of hope in Christ. His promises are unbreakable. It’s not about your abilities, but God’s promises. Your faith is dependent upon His promise, not your performance. It’s all about the praise of His grace. He is faithful, not because you do enough right, but because He has given you a promise that is founded upon Christ and not you.”
― Eddie Snipes, The Revelation of Grace: Founded Upon Grace Series: Book 1

“Our relationships with one another are the canvas upon which our relationship with God is put on display. We know we have passed from death to life because we love the brotherhood, [38] not because we are scrupulous about observing the Sabbath and keeping the feasts. Our love of the brotherhood is the proof of our love for God, not the lists of things that we so often accept as the standard for holiness.”
― Stephen Crosby, The New Testament Prophet: Understanding the Mind, Temperament, and Calling

“the Pharisees lacked—and what we Christians have all too often lacked—is grace. We must never let our theological disagreements get in the way of showing God’s unconditional, overpowering grace to everyone we meet.”
