>I, for one, try to keep these truths central in my mind and heart whenever I communicate…whether from the “pulpit,” in camps, small groups, or the more difficult one-on-one:
“We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.” John 1:14
“The gospel flies with the wings of grace and truth. Not one, but both…Truth-oriented Christians love studying Scripture and theology. But sometimes they’re quick to judge and slow to forgive…Grace-oriented Christians love forgiveness and freedom. But sometimes they neglect Bible study and see moral standards as ‘legalism’.”
“Truth without grace breeds a self-righteous legalism that poisons the church and pushes the world away from Christ.”
“Grace without truth breeds moral indifference and keeps people from seeing their need for Christ” ”
– Randy Alcorn

Jesus invaded my life shortly after my arrest at age 26. I spent the first few years of my new life incarcerated. Went to Bible school after parole; have served with Kansas City Youth For Christ, Headwaters Christian Youth (Rhinelander, Wi), Family Life Ministries (Bath, NY), and now with Midland Ministries (Saint Joseph, Mo). Married with four children, work with youth, adults, inmates. Heavily involved in Bible quizzing for four decades. Narrow minded about Jesus and the gospel; fairly open minded about most other things. Speak in churches, camps (both teen and family), civic groups, public schools, Christian schools and colleges...amazed I get to do what I get to do....favorite verse Romans 15.13 "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you, by the power of the Holy Spirit, may overflow with hope."
