No one need worry about our getting the best of God in some bargain with him, or that we might somehow succeed in using him for our purposes. Anyone who thinks this is a problem has seriously underestimated the intelligence and agility of our Father in the heavens. He will not be tricked or cheated.

Grace is not opposed to effort; it's opposed to earning.

The aim of spiritual formation is not behavior modification but the transformation of all those aspects of you and me where behavior comes from...Circumcision of the heart.

Feelings are good servants, but they are disastrous masters.

The effect of standing before God by welcoming him before us will be the transformation of our entire life.

Play is the creation of value that is not necessary.

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