I bless God, he has for some years given me an abiding conviction, that it is impossible for any rational creature to enjoy true happiness without being entirely “devoted to him.” Under the influence of this conviction I have in some measure acted. Oh that I had done more so! - @BrainerdQuotes
You will never fully convince someone that he is wrong; only reality can. - Nassim Nicholas Taleb
“In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act”. - attributed to George Orwell
Jesus was “full of grace and truth” (Jn 1:14)Grace and truth come together in Christ. They are not in tension; they do not need to be balanced.You cannot have one without having both. If you think you have one without the other, you have neither.If your thing is kindness and grace, but you never stand for hard truths, it is not biblical grace you embody but something counterfeit.If your thing is truth, but you lack grace and kindness, it is not biblical truth you are driven by but more likely a love of being right.- Sam Allberry@SamAllberry
Offending people today is child’s play: Merely state the obvious. ~ Patrick Kurp, 2007
