I Wish I'd Said That

Some of my favorite reading quotes from the last six months:

• What would you be willing to attempt for God if you knew you could not fail? -- Perry Noble
• ...there is no sin in thought, word, or deed, no matter how personal or secret, that does not inflict injury upon the whole fellowship. -- Dietrich Bonhoeffer (Life Together, 89)
• Foolish is the person [who] takes offense when none was intended. More foolish is the person [who] takes offense when it was intended. -- Dave Marcum and Steven Smith (egonomics)
• You are the God who loves me, and loves all the people I pretend to love. -- Michael Spencer
• We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. -- Plato
• Faith can move mountains, but don't be surprised if God hands you a shovel. -- Unknown
• If we die to ourselves, in the end we come to live in God. But it is a long, slow dying. -- Morris West (The Shoes of the Fisherman)
• When we are tempted to sin, Satan's primary strategy is to convince us that it's not a big deal, and that God won't really care if we do it. After we've given in to temptation and committed the sin, Satan flips the script. Now his chief aim is to make us believe that what we've done is so bad, God no longer wants anything to do with us. This is why your first inclination after a spiritual failure is to run and hide from God. -- Steven Furtick
