"A person's words can be a source of wisdom, deep as the ocean, fresh as a flowing stream." (Proverbs 18:4)

"Truth without grace is mean. Grace without truth is meaningless. Truth and grace together are good medicine."    

~ Pastor Chris Hodges ~

"Truth without love is harsh. Love without truth is a lie."

~ Lisa Bevere ~

"Truth without love is brutality, and love without truth is hypocrisy."

~ Warren W. Wiersbe ~

"Love without truth is sentimentality; it supports and affirms us but keeps us in denial about our flaws. Truth without love is harshness; it gives us information but in such a way that we cannot really hear it. God's saving love in Christ, however, is marked by both radical truthfulness about who we are and yet also radical, unconditional commitment to us. The merciful commitment strengthens us to see the truth about ourselves and repent. The conviction and repentance moves us to cling to and rest in God's mercy and grace."

~ Timothy J. Keller ~

"I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."

~ Jesus Christ ~
