When the light comes into a room, we do not have to say, "Now what are we going to do about the darkness?" It's gone!

Suppose we have a motor and our transmission doesn't work or our clutch or whatever. Then our body, our motor, just takes us down the road. Or our brakes don't work! We must have a coordination system.

There is no problem in human life that apprenticeship to Jesus cannot solve.

My central claim is that we can become like Christ by doing one thing -- by following him in the overall style of life he chose for himself.

What you present as the gospel will determine what you present as discipleship. If you present as the gospel what is essentially a theory of the atonement, and you say, If you accept this theory of the atonement, your sins are forgiven, and when you die you will be received into heaven, there is no basis for discipleship.

The key, then, to loving God is to see Jesus, to hold him before the mind with as much fullness and clarity as possible. It is to adore him.

No matter how lost a person is, they still draw on their body. So the body would be more like the motor.
