GRACE

'Only the person who is disillusioned with his own goodness can truly receive God's grace. And only the church that is disillusioned with its own goodness can ever become a culture of grace. Disillusionment precedes the experience of grace.'
Stuart Stogner, 'Everyday Life of a Pastor: Reasons to Persevere' in The Journal of Biblical Counseling 24: 3 (2006), p.48.
