Just some final quotes from A Call to Grace by David Nasser.
"Grace never replaces God's standard, it fulfills God's requirement and enables God's standard to be lived out through our lives."
"Grace without truth can lead to liberalism. Truth without grace can lead to legalism."
"Grace is not safe, but it is always good."
"We have all to often confused grace with passivity, avoidance, or indifference. Grace is neither passive, avoiding of confrontation, nor indifferent. Grace is what it is. It is holy and truthful. Truth gives us convictions and the courage to confront, while grace allows us to speak these convictions with consideration and tact."
"As Christians, although we must lovingly live among people we don't agree with, this is not an excuse to compromise our own convictions (John 17:15-17)."
"He (Christ) never compromised the standard, yet He never acted in a spirit of condemnation."
Good words for this age in which we live.

you know what's really funny - dad made the comment the other day that he will never tell mom, you, or me anything because we know no secrets between us - i laughed, and said 'oh you'd be surprised. we have secrets, and i am guessing that they don't want to know mine anymore than i want to know theirs.'
too funny!!!
