“For a Christian to be a Christian, he must first be a sinner. Being a sinner is a prerequisite for being a church member. The Christian church is one of the few organizations in the world that requires a public acknowledgement of sin as a condition for membership.”
R.C. Sproul, Reason to Believe: A Response to Common Objections to Christianity

In light of Sproul’s recent death, a good quote to share in his memory.
Another, related, quote:
“Proof of spiritual maturity is not how ‘pure’ you are but awareness of your impurity. That very awareness opens the door to grace.” — Philip Yancey, What’s So Amazing About Grace?
This one touched something deep inside. I am not sure I “believe” this is a good thing. Any thoughts?
