Appalling Strangeness


"You can't conceive, nor can I or anyone, the appalling strangeness of the mercy of God." -Graham Green (English author)


"Our all is required. But our all isn't enough. It must combine with His. Only He can lift us to the full reaches of our potential. Much of our secular society says, 'Oh yes I can. I can do it my way." But that is disabling vanity. Even the slightest need for repentance requires Christs's purifying power. And for those of us near despair who cry, 'Oh no, even with Him I cannot go through with this', he replies, 'I can lift. I will heal.'" - Truman Madsen
