Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.

At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life.

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

Solitude well practiced will break the power of busyness, haste, isolation, & loneliness.

The basic question 'will I obey Christ 's teaching?' is rarely taken as a serious issue. For example, to take one of Jesus' commands, that is relevant to contemporary life, I don't know of any church that actually teaches a church how to bless people who curse them, yet this is a clear command.

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

Why doesn't God just force us to do the things he knows to be right? It is because that would lose precisely that which he has intended in our creation: freely chosen character.
