We can accept God becoming Man to save Man, but not Man becoming God to save himself.
Vernon Howard

Anger or bitterness toward those who have hurt you will block your path to higher ground. You can have anger toward people or you can have freedom from people, but you can't have both.
Vernon Howard
Image
Ignorant people remain ignorant because they have a secret agreement to call one another intelligent.
Vernon Howard
Image
Interpretation blocks reception while masquerading as reception. Rightness does not need interpretation it requires simple acceptance and nothing else.
Vernon Howard
