Philip Yancey Quote
Sadly, Jesus’ followers tend to take the reverse approach. Some churches gradually lower the ideals, accommodating moral standards to a changing culture. Others raise the bar of grace so that needy people feel unwelcome: We don’t want that kind of person in our church. Either way we fail to communicate the spectacular good news that everyone fails and yet a gracious God offers forgiveness to all.
