Quotes by Kevin Scott

“All week, we’ve heard pep talks like this one from Scott at last night’s post-Razzle’s debrief: “To me, here’s the motivation to evangelize: If I’m a doctor, and I find the cure for a terminal illness, and if I care about people, I’m going to spread that cure as widely as possible. If I don’t, people are going to die.”Leave the comparison in place for a second. If Scott had indeed found the cure to a terminal illness and if this Daytona mission were a vaccination campaign instead of an evangelism crusade, my group members would be acting with an unusually large portion of mercy”

“Until you value yourself, you will not value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.”

“Requiring officers to find and choose the least intrusive alternative would require them to exercise superhuman judgment. Imposing such a requirement would inevitably induce tentativeness by officers, and thus deter police from protecting the public and themselves.””

“This is the essence of worship: entering into God’s presence and expressing God’s worth, both because of who he is and because of what he has done.””

“the hope you have in Christ will not disappoint you. God is faithful. He is true to his word. What he says, he will do. It may feel like a risk to place your hope in God, but it is not. Your hope will be fulfilled in more and better ways than you can possibly imagine.””

“Christian hope is not about creating a vision for your future; it’s about discovering the future God has already envisioned for you.””

“Growing in faith doesn’t mean that you’ll never wrestle with doubt and faith. If anything, the wrestling and doubt can be more intense when your faith is being stretched. The way to grow through times of doubt is not to act as though everything is fine and to sweep the doubts under the rug. It’s to acknowledge and address the obstacles and objections as you meet them. By taking each doubt and objection seriously, even if you don’t immediately arrive at a satisfying resolution, you’ll be growing a faith that can weather even bigger storms later on.””

“Genuine faith doesn’t waver based on the circumstances or on whether it’s convenient or pleasant to believe; it’s reflected in every decision that you make and every action that you take.””

“We all want to minimize and normalize our sin even as we magnify the sins of others.””

“Much of our brokenness comes from resisting and rebelling against God’s call to become a fully mature human being.””
