I, for one, try to keep these truths central in my mind and heart whenever I communicate...whether from the "pulpit," in camps, small groups, or the more difficult one-on-one:
"We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." John 1:14
"The gospel flies with the wings of grace and truth. Not one, but both...Truth-oriented Christians love studying Scripture and theology. But sometimes they're quick to judge and slow to forgive...Grace-oriented Christians love forgiveness and freedom. But sometimes they neglect Bible study and see moral standards as 'legalism'."
"Truth without grace breeds a self-righteous legalism that poisons the church and pushes the world away from Christ."
"Grace without truth breeds moral indifference and keeps people from seeing their need for Christ" "
