Chapman on Humility & Unity


"Humility is the secret of fellowship, and pride the secret of division"

"Pride nourishes the rememberance of injuries: humility forgets as well as forgives them."

"When mutual intercession takes the place of mutual accusation, then will the differences and difficulties of brethren be overcome."

Rebuking Like God


"In reproving sin in others, we should remember the ways of the Holy Spirit of God towards us.  He comes as the Spirit of Love; and whatever He rebukes, He wins the heart by mercy and forgiveness through Christ."  RC Chapman

A Delivery System for Grace


1.  The freedom to be different
2.  The freedom to be vulnerable
3.  The freedom to be candid
4.  The freedom to make mistakes

When these four freedoms are weaved together with love, purpose and hope they form the matrix for Grace-Based Parenting.
