Free in Christ

"Christ came to set the captive free—no matter what kind of yoke binds them. He came to bind up the brokenhearted—no matter what broke the heart. He came to open the eyes of the blind—no matter what veiled their vision."
- Beth Moore

Freedom of Conscience

"It is easy to cry "Freedom" when some theological dictator has his foot on your neck. It is a more principled position, however, to cry for freedom when you are in the majority but still lift up your voice on behalf of new minorities."

"There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says in the end, 'Thy will be done.' "

Willing

"He gives us the will wherewith to will, and the power to use it, and the help needed to supplement the power:...but we ourselves must will the truth and for that the Lord is waiting....The work is His, be we must take our willing share. When the blossom breaks forth in us, the more it is ours the more it is His."
- George MacDonald
