In accord with his original intent, the heavenly Father has in fact prepared an individualized kingdom for every person, from the outset of creation.

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

This life is not something that is imposed upon us; we receive it and work with it.

If our gospel does not free the individual up for a unique life of spiritual adventure in living with God daily, we simply have not entered fully into the good news that Jesus brought.

The Bible defines almost nothing because it isn't a book for scholars and philosophers or free thinkers. It's a book for people who want help. It's primarily a book for pastors. They're the ones that can use it in a way so that it actually achieves its purpose.

What we can accomplish as good as it may be does not compare to what God can accomplish

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