Great quotes from Scott:
If you don’t have the function and function of God’s Spirit…it doesn’t matter how powerful the words are on a page, it doesn’t matter how many miracles you’ve seen. If you’re not active in it yourself, it means nothing.
That agrarian community I was part of shaped everything about who I would become.
I was a computer and rebooted. Not everything was arranged the same on the screen as it was before.
You don't know what other people are going through so we walk with grace and mercy.
