“When you look in the eyes of grace, when you meet grace, when you embrace grace, when you see the nail prints in grace’s hands and the fire in his eyes, when you feel his relentless love for you – it will not motivate you to sin. It will motivate you to righteousness.”

The Bible is meant to be down-to-earth. It was written for real people facing real issues.

If we could get people to think about Jesus, we reasoned, Jesus was more than able to reveal himself to them.

Indifference was our greatest enemy.

When we meet grace, it becomes the fuel of our faith. We pray, we read our Bibles, we worship and we live the purest lifestyle we can because we love a person.

God transforms us one area at a time.

Grace is a person. And his name is Jesus.

You didnt access love, love accessed you!

Sometimes our brains are our own worst enemy because grace isn’t logical.

Once you savor God’s goodness, sin holds no lasting appeal.

Grace is God-given power to live differently.

We are often harsher judges than God himself.

Responsibility is good for your soul.

But difficult situations and wrong choices conspire to trap us in hopelessness.

I’ve never met a person who exaggerated God’s love. Never. It’s impossible.

Nowhere in the Bible, however, do we find God distinguishing between levels of sin. God doesn’t share our rating system. To him, all sin is equally evil, and all sinners are equally lovable.

What an opportunity we have to be a community….A community where there are models.

If Martin [Luther King, Jr.]’s philosophy had been embraced and lived out in Iraq and other places, we wouldn’t have bin Ladens.

You’re confident, you’re going to the ring to fight, but there’s always that little thing where you’re thinking, ‘God.’ You’re nervous. But you have to embrace it and enjoy it.

Just let go. Let go of how you thought your life should be, and embrace the life that is trying to work its way into your consciousness.

There is no profession more essential than that of an educator, and it’s time for all of us to embrace and celebrate their importance and contribution to America’s children.

Accept the fact that you’re never gonna be someone else and embrace the fact that the world needs you as God made you to be.

At the end of the day nobody’s perfect and everybody’s weird whether they embrace it or not.

Embracing our dark side gives us a new found freedom to be with the darkness in others. For when I can love all of me, I will love all of you.

I give myself the green light to move forward, and to joyously embrace the new.
