Leaving the Rivers of Damascus

“It's amazing to me how many people want to substitute the simplicity of the grace of Jesus Christ for a work of some spiritual nature that you do that you made up to somehow try to get close to God. The question is, you know, what is God telling you to do in response to your request to find that place of union and intimacy with his heart? Whatever he tells you to do, I can tell you nothing else will work.” Bill Vanderbush
