We Love God!

God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

If it is hard to accept a rebuke, even a private one, it is harder still to administer one in loving humility.
D.A. Carson

We abuse grace when, after sinning, we dwell on the compassion and mercy of God to the exclusion of His holiness and hatred of sin.
Jerry Bridges
