Series: The Gospel of GodScripture: Romans 3:9-20

“It was the kind of church where you could show your ugly heart to everybody and they just loved you harder and

handed you a beer.”

Harrison Scott Key

“It can seem gentler and kinder to think of human beings as basically good, our intuitions basically correct and our

motives basically pure. But then we run into the hard facts of greed, genocide, abuse, oppression, lies, tyranny, hatred,

jealousy, violence, murder, enslavement and even mundane selfishness, impatience, arrogance or resentment in our

own heart. … If I am a sinner, then my enemy and I have something in common: We are both wayward and in deep

need of grace.”

Tish Harrison Warren

“We cannot present a reason for Christ to finally close off his heart to his own sheep. No such reason exists. Every

human friend has a limit. If we offend enough, if a relationship gets damaged enough, if we betray enough times, we

are cast out. The walls go up. With Christ, our sins and weaknesses are the very resumé items that qualify us to

approach him.”

Dane Ortlund

“Cheer up! God’s Spirit works in your weakness.”
