I believe that before anything else I'm a human being -- just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one.

Nick Lowe
Brinsley Schwarz

Charles A. Reich
-
Our repentance should begin with the fact that we have no longer taken the Word of God seriously and have not come to repentance. We dared to use our own standards and were satisfied when we lived up to them. We are like the Pharisees.
Outwardly we participate in Christian activities, perhaps even enthusiastically...And we think that this is enough. We use our own yardstick.
But God will measure our lives according to His standards, and we shall have no excuse when we appear before His judgment seat, for He has clearly proclaimed His standards in His Word.

I haven't even gotten a Grammy, yet I've already decided I want an Emmy.
Esther Renay Dean
