I've concluded that while nobody plans to mess up their life, the problem is that a few of us plan not to. That is, we don't put the necessary safeguards in place to ensure a happy ending.
Andy StanleyGuys that preach verse-by-verse through books of the Bible - that is just cheating. It's cheating because that would be easy, first of all. That isn't how you grow people. No one in the Scripture modeled that.
