"Sin is a refused relationship with God that spills over into wrong relationships with others.”

~Eugene Peterson

"Scripture makes it very clear that all this dysfunction is the result of a deception. You and I lost who we are. We forfeited our role as God’s intercessors, co-managers of his creation."

~Tyler Staton, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, pg 101

“As we read God’s word and find ourselves more and more in the truth that He has created each of us as a unique and wonderful reflection of His image, we are also led to admit that God’s original image in us has been marred by our selfishness and rebellion. I don’t look the way God meant me to look; I don’t reflect His image the way He originally intended.”

~Chuck Miller, The Spiritual Formation of Leaders, pg. 120

"God created you and me in his image and gave us a creation to manage. This place we inhabit is our assignment—to spread his image to every square inch."

~Tyler Staton, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools, pg. 100-101
