We see that the soul is the deepest and the most vital part of the person as a whole. It is often treated as the person, and we actually do this when we talk about "saving our soul."

The will is transformed by experience, not information.

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

Think of the soul as the computer system that runs the whole thing. And then the spirit is the executive center. It's the faculty of choice. And then you want that faculty governed by the truth of God and the Spirit of God.

The humility that cringes in order that reproof may be escaped or favor obtained is as unchristian as it is profoundly immoral.

In Spiritual formation we are aiming at a character and life that is so shaped that the deeds of Christ routinely and easily come from what is inside.

This life is not something that is imposed upon us; we receive it and work with it.
