I do emphasize that we cannot just get out of the Bible a definition of the soul.

Make disciples. Surround them in the reality of the Trinity in a fellowship of disciples. Teach them to do everything Jesus says.

Disciples are those who have been so ravished with Christ that others want to be like them.

Clinical depression is an extreme form of a 'bad mood.'

When Jesus directs us to pray, "Thy kingdom come," he does not mean we should pray for it to come into existence.

You can no more trust Jesus and not intend to obey him than you could trust your doctor and your auto mechanic and not intend to follow their advice. If you don't intend to follow their advice, you simply don't trust them. Period.

God has yet to bless anyone except where they actually are, and if we faithlessly discard situation after situation, moment after moment, as not being "right," we will simply have no place to receive his kingdom into our life.
