John Ortberg Jr. Quotes

A Pastor Struggled For Years With Sexual Addiction, Eventually Becoming So Despondent That Hospitalized Himself. He Joined An Inpatient Group And Was Mostly Silent As Others Shared.
When He Decided Not To Come One Day, The Leader Found He Had Fallen Back Into His Addiction The Previous Night. Against Every Fiber Of His Instinct, He Came Back To The Group. He Shared How Much He Despised Himself And His Hypocritical Behavior.
When He Saw That Others Wept For Him, The Weight Of The Secret That Piled On The Shame Was Broken. As Ortberg Puts It, The Man Was Able To Taste The Grace He Taught About.
