The prospering of God's cause on earth depends upon his people thinking well.

Fasting confirms our utter dependence upon God by finding in Him a source of sustenance beyond food.

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

Almost everything worth doing in human life is very difficult in its early stages and the good we are aiming at is never available at first, to strengthen us when we seem to need it most.

The true saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on takeoff.

The assumption of Jesus' program for his people on earth was that they would live their lives as his students and co-laborers.

What Paul is clearly saying is that if anyone is worthy of being saved, they will be saved. At that point many Christians get very anxious, saying that absolutely no one is worthy of being saved. The implication of that is that a person can be almost totally good, but miss the message about Jesus, and be sent to hell. What kind of a God would do that? I am not going to stand in the way of anyone whom God wants to save. I am not going to say 'he can't save them.' I am happy for God to save anyone he wants in any way he can. It is possible for someone who does not know Jesus to be saved.
