Belief is when your whole being is set to act as if something is so.

Discipleship is the process of becoming who Jesus would be if he were you.

Crooked thinking, unintentional or not, always favors evil.

That's the illusion - the idea that you can be all right on the inside and not act it out - and it has affected us in many ways. That's a part of the idea that professing is enough.

The idea of having faith in Jesus has come to be totally isolated from being his apprentice and learning how to do what he said.

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

And the God who hears is also the one who speaks. He has spoken and is still speaking. Humanity remains his project, not its own, and his initiatives are always at work among us.
