“Many times, we don’t think bringing nothing is good enough; we want to do something that sounds more active—we want to be told what to do, what steps to take. But the biggest change that can have the biggest impact happens on the inside. Come empty-handed to God; he will give you everything; he will give you himself.”
― C. John Miller, Saving Grace: Daily Devotions from Jack Miller

“we can neither compromise love in the name of holiness; nor can we compromise holiness in the name of love. Or to say it another way: the devil never gives us the luxury of fighting the battle on just one front.”
― Francis A. Schaeffer, The Great Evangelical Disaster

“When we underestimate the holiness of God and the greatness of God’s love, then it’s easy for us to worry, to be full of self-effort, to compare ourselves with others.”
― C. John Miller, Saving Grace: Daily Devotions from Jack Miller

“When the boundary line between church and world gets blurred, God’s picture of the loving, forgiving, caring, holy, righteous community becomes less clear.”
