Those who have been touched by forgiveness and new life and have thus entered into God's rule become, like Jesus, bearers of that rule.

What is thinking? It is the activity of searching out what must be true, or cannot be true, in the light of the given facts or assumptions.

God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.

Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it.

What we can do with these means (our own unassisted strength) is still very small compared to what we could do in acting in union with God himself, who created and ultimately controls all other forces.

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