Smart Quote: Matt Chandler

“The litmus test I’ve always used on whether or not you really grasp grace is what you do when you blow it. If you blow it and you run from the Lord to try to clean yourself up and then come back, you do not understand grace and what God has done for you in Christ. But if you blow it and you run to him, that’s an evidence of grace.” —Matt Chandler

Smart Quote: John Lynch

“If our primary motive is pleasing God, we’ll never please Him enough and we’ll never learn trust. Pleasing God is a good desire, It just can’t be our primary motivation or it will imprison our hearts… When our primary motive becomes trusting God, however, we suddenly discover there is nothing in the world that pleases Him more! Until you trust God, nothing you do will please God." —John Lynch

Smart Quote: Brennan Manning

“Do you wholeheartedly agree that God likes you? (not loves you, because, as you will recall, God loves by necessity of His nature.) If you can answer with gut-level honesty, ‘Oh yes, the Father is very fond of me,’ there comes a relaxedness and serenity, a compassionate attitude toward yourself in your brokenness, that elucidates the meaning of tenderness.” —Brennan Manning
