Quotes to Consider
"The crucifixion is the tremendous mystery in which God demonstrates
the effect of sin and also reveals the extent of God's love." (English,
72)
"Ultimately I have to say: I believe that Jesus is my savior; I
believe that I have been grasped by his love…No one else's experience
and faith will do. This is the rock upon which I can stand…"
(Barry, 20).
In a second century writing, To Diognetus, "The person learns how
to live from the God who has loved him. His growth as a Christian is described
not in terms of his conformity or nonconformity to laws, but in terms
of his becoming more like the God who has met him." (Barry, 24).
"Most basic disorders are connected with a lack of awareness of
God's love." (English, 86)
"The hardness of God is kinder than the softness of men, and his
compulsion is our liberation." --C.S. Lewis (Healey MSW, 75)
"… even before we have moved in search of God, God has come in search of us." --Abraham Joshual Heschel (Healey MSW, 25)
