Quotes by Caleb Kaltenbach (?)

“Having the mind-set that you’ve got it together and everyone else is lacking is a fast track to being a grace failure.”

“So for those of us who are in Christ, we can be sure that God doesn’t stop loving us. We can’t outrun or outdo the love of God. His love doesn’t depend on our behavior. If God’s love depended on how I act, I would have been out of God’s favor a while ago—and you would have too.”

“Jesus did not die on the cross to create a little country club where we could have weekly gatherings, pat ourselves on the back for our good behavior (while hiding our bad behavior), and meet in clusters during the week but do nothing to reach out to the community. That’s not the kind of church Jesus wants built here on earth.”
