Gerhard Forde

Good, we tend to think, is the absence of evil. But this reversal of the formula can only have disastrous consequences.

If you are going to lose your life for the gospel’s sake, you must begin by hearing it.

With every bone in our bodies, we declare war on grace. We declare war on the gift.

We worry about the fact our days are as grass – so we try to scratch out a place for ourselves, to make a permanent, lasting place, to climb to higher places and succeed, more often than not, only to hurt each other in the process.

God has found a way to be God even for the likes of us. He has found a way to save sinners.
