Steve Brown at Here We Still Stand

The first session at Here We Still Stand was Steve Brown from Key Life. Here are some quotes:

God never speaks to just one person.

He began by sharing a story about Jerry Bridges.

Romans 3:21-28 and Luke 18:9-14

I believe we are sitting on another great awakening.


William Hendricks-"Most churches preach grace but live works." From Exit Interview

Faith Alone might be the most controversial of all the solas. 

How do you kill an awakening?  Add some requirements. Throw in some kickers (what to do). Limit God's love. Be too serious.

There is only one "good and faithful servant" and it is not any of us.

The tax collector was justified, but he was not fixed.

There's something unreasonable about God's love toward us. If we never get better, he will love us the same.
