Grace (4)
  1. When we fail, our first impulse is the same as that of our spiritual ancestors: to sprint headlong into the bushes.
  2. With every bone in our bodies, we declare war on grace. We declare war on the gift.
  3. Without the sacraments, God’s grace is simply an artifact behind a glass-case in a museum. We might be able to describe and even admire it, but we never get firsthand access to it.
  4. All of my theological endeavoring will not squeeze one more ounce of grace from God.
