This page is a collection place for quotes. The quotes come from all different sources (books, messages, bumper stickers, other web sites, etc.), where I have those sources I will reference them. Some are serious, others not so much. I've been collecting these for over ten years (but not all on Blogspot). The very first entry is an accumulation of the first ten years.

From an article handed to me relationg to teenagers
As a believer, I see God's holy standard. I recognize that it is good, yet my heart wanders to fantasy worlds where I rule with no higher agenda than the pleasure of self. It is here that I am led to cry, "What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord!" It is when I am confronted with my utter inability to meet the demands of God's standard that I am also confronted with the reality and majesty of His grace. "Where sin increased, grace increased all the more." — Paul Tripp "The Way of the Wise: Teaching Teenagers about Sex". The Journal of Biblical Counseling. Volume 13. Number 3. Spring 1995.
