Messy Grace

You are NOT the worst mistake you've made. Everyone is worth more than their toxic choices.

Christianity isn't: Us v Them Christianity is: God & Us FOR Them

You don't have the power to change anyone, but you can love them.

You're closer to showing true grace when you're not afraid to roll up your sleeves & help someone-- no matter how messy they might be.

When we treat people well, it's easier for them to believe that God loves them.

“There's more beauty in truth, even if it is dreadful beauty.” ~John Steinbeck

Our key relationships deserve our patience, listening and understanding.

Unexpected kindness is the most powerful, least costly, and most underrated agent of human change. @nickygumbel

Compassion---> everyone counts.

Treating others well and praying for them regularly are things we strive to do if we truly love God.

The grace of God doesn't depend on your actions.

You can fight the wrongs in life with boldness & graciousness and not become like those who have hurt you.

Empathy is the ability to press pause on your own thoughts and feelings long enough to understand someone else's. @reggiejoiner

Truth and grace create tension, but they are inseparable. One leads to the other. You can't have one without the other.

Ever learning & never able to come to the knowledge of the truth ~2 Tim 3:7 A word of caution not to idolize learning over truth @GabeLyons

“Never let us be guilty of sacrificing any portion of truth on the altar of peace.” ~J.C. Ryle
