Disciples are those who have been so ravished with Christ that others want to be like them.

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

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

You really can't justify anything else but giving your whole attention to spiritual formation in Christ.

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.

When we receive God's gift of life by relying on Christ, we find that God comes to act with us as we rely on him in our actions.

Our relations with others are not external. They enter into our very identity. And that's why people struggle with them so.
