We are invited to make a pilgrimage – into the heart and life of God.

My central claim is that we become like Christ by doing one thing-by following Him in the overall style of life He chose for Himself. If we have faith in Christ, we must believe that He knew how to live. We can, through faith and grace, become like Christ by practicing the types of activities He engaged in, by arranging our whole lives around the activities He Himself practiced in order to remain constantly at home in the fellowship of the Father.

We know we can't be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.

It's just stunning to watch churches struggle to get mission statements when there it is, the Great Commission, and they should simply do what it says.

When the light comes into a room, we do not have to say, "Now what are we going to do about the darkness?" It's gone!

Everyone gets a spiritual formation. It's like education. Everyone gets an education; it's just a matter of which one you get.

Feelings too must be renovated: old ones removed in many cases, or at least thoroughly modified, and new ones installed or at least heightened into a new prominence.
