It also reminded me that being wrong and responding to correction with resilience was a higher virtue than covering up your mistakes so your students and the watching world assumed that success meant never being wrong.

Repentance is our daily fruit, our hourly washing, our minute by minute wake-up call; our reminder of God's creation, Jesus' blood, and the Holy Spirit's comfort. Repentance is the only no shame solution to a renewed Christian conscience, because it only proves the obvious: God was right all along.","author":"Rosaria Champagne Butterfield","tags":["god","grace","holy","lesbian","repentance","worship"],"id":104994,"author_id":"Rosaria+Champagne+Butterfield"},{"text":"A family that never embraces life's risks never really lives.","author":"Rosaria Champagne Butterfield","tags":["american-dreams","discipleship","ministry"],"id":133467,"author_id":"Rosaria+Champagne+Butterfield"},{"text":"There is a core difference between sharing the gospel with the lost and imposing a specific moral standard on the unconverted.","author":"Rosaria Champagne Butterfield","tags":["gospel","lost","moral-standard","unconverted"],"id":163383,"author_id":"Rosaria+Champagne+Butterfield"},{"text":"One very difficult aspect of sin is that my sin never feels like sin to me.
