Helmut Thielicke-"the devil succeeds in laying his cuckoo eggs in a pious nest...the sulphurous stench of hell is as nothing compared with the evil odor emitted by divine grace gone putrid."

I hope that God would fashion in me a sense of disgust for my own corruption. That I would first become dissatisfied with my own dormant position in life and not glare at others in order that I may blame them for all the disgrace in the world. The homeless will remain hungry as long as my refrigerator stays full, and the hopeless will live broken as long as I linger in my room. I cannot delay. This is an emergency. Grace is the ambulance.-C.L.
