We don't have to be brilliant.

In a world apart from God, the power of denial is absolutely essential if life is to proceed. The will or spirit cannot-psychologically cannot-sustain itself for any length of time in the face of what it clearly acknowledges to be the case. Therefore it must deny and evade and delude itself.

If we are to use our minds rightly, we must live in an attitude of constant openness and learning.

To depart from righteousness is to choose a life of crushing burdens, failures, and disappointments, a life caught in the toils of endless problems that are never resolved.

Belief is when your whole being is set to act as if something is so.

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.

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