In many cases, our need to wonder about or be told what God wants in a certain situation is nothing short of a clear indication of how little we are engaged in His work.

It's important to distinguish the soul from the spirit, or will, because the will or the heart or the spirit is the executive center of the self.

When we think of "taking Christ into the workplace" or "keeping Christ in the home," we are making our faith into a set of special acts. The "specialness" of such acts just underscores the point - that being a Christian, being Christ's isn't thought of as a normal part of life.

God's address is at the end of your rope.

Even professing Christians, by and large, devote to their spiritual growth and well-being a tiny fraction of the time they devote to their body, and it is even tinier fraction if we include what they worry about.

As we mature in Christ, it is actually possible to outgrow fear.

One does not miss heaven by a hair, but by constant effort to avoid and escape God.
