Smart Quote: Dallas Willard

“Grace is not opposed to effort, it is opposed to earning. Earning is an attitude. Effort is an action. Grace, you know, does not just have to do with forgiveness of sins alone.” ―Dallas Willard

Smart Quote: Dan B. Allender

“[Biblical counseling] Must insist that the image of God is central to developing a solid view of personality; that our sinfulness, not how we've been sinned against, is our biggest problem; that forgiveness, not wholeness, is our greatest need; that repentance, not insight, is the dynamic in all real change.” ―Dan B. Allender

Smart Quote: Beautiful Eulogy

“The goal of faith is to believe that we need to be saved, and then rejoice knowing that our savior came! Died in our place, and his sinless life was raised from the grave. Our sin is death, Christ is life, either way all of us are slaves. One kills, one saves.” —Beautiful Eulogy, Surrender

Smart Quote: Simon Tugwell

“So long as we imagine that it is we who have to look for God, we must often lose heart. But it is the other way about; He is looking for us. And so we can afford to recognize that very often we are not looking for God; far from it, we are in full flight from him, in high rebellion against him. And He knows that and has taken it into account. He has followed us into our own darkness; there where we thought finally to escape him, we run straight into his arms.” —Simon Tugwell

Smart Quote: Dallas Willard
