Helped me Today :)

Until we see God-sent storms as interventions and not punishments, we'll never get better; we will only get bitter. Some difficult circumstances your facing right now may well be God-sent storm of mercy intended to be his intervention in your life.
-Tullian Tchividjian, Surprised by Grace

...See,People's lives are messy, and religion just wants to keep it tidy and if you really want to help hurting people you need more than a manual! You need the holy spirit, wisdom, discernment, community, patience, time, and prayer... -Pastor Mark Driscoll, What's Wrong With Religious People
