Two ways of thinking: Human kingdom and human cleverness or God's kingdom and God's cleverness

It's very difficult to be right about something without hurting someone with it.

We need to understand that Jesus is a thinker, that this is not a dirty word but an essential work, and that his other attributes do not preclude thought, but only ensure that he is certainly the greatest thinker of the human race: "the most intelligent person who ever lived on earth"

Hearing God is about the very specific issue of what it means to live with guidance in our life.

Obedience to Christ is the easy way, take my yoke.

There is absolutely nothing in what Jesus himself or his early followers taught that suggests you can decide just to enjoy forgiveness at Jesus' expense and have nothing more to do with him.

Almost everything worth doing in human life is very difficult in its early stages and the good we are aiming at is never available at first, to strengthen us when we seem to need it most.
