Grace, not Judgment
"For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith. And this not of yourselves,
it is a gift of God."
(Ephesians 2:8)

Principles, not Rules
"I do not set aside the grace of God,
for if righteousness could be gained
through the law, Christ died for nothing."
(Galatians 2:21)

Consistency, not Hypocrisy
"Woe to you… hypocrites!  You give a tenth
of your spices, mint, dill and cummin.  But you have neglected the more important matters
of the law – justice, mercy and faithfulness."
(Matthew 23:23)

Relationship, not Religion
"How great is the love the Father has lavished
on us, that we should be called children of God.  And that is what we are."
(I John 3:1)

Relevance, not Tradition
"Do not be conformed any longer to the
pattern of this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind."
(Romans 12:2)

Fun, not Obligation
"I have told you this so that my joy may be
in you and that your joy may be complete."
(John 15:11)
