Quote:
Mistakes Were Made (But Not by Me)Carol Tavris and Elliot Aronson
“[Self-justification] is not the same thing as lying or making excuses. … [It] is more powerful and more dangerous than the explicit lie. It allows people to convince themselves that what they did was the best thing they could have done. In fact, come to think of it, it was the right thing.”

Giving at The Vineyard
We don't pass a plate for tithes and offerings here at Vineyard, but we do believe that giving back through our finances is an important way to worship Jesus.
