One does not miss heaven by a hair, but by constant effort to avoid and escape God.

At the center of care for the heart is the love of God. This must be the joyful aim of our life.

We are unceasing spiritual beings with an eternal destiny in God's great universe.

Churches are not the kingdom of God, but are primary and inevitable expressions, outposts, and instrumentalities of presence of the kingdom among us. They are 'societies' of Jesus.

Paul followed Jesus by living as He lived. And how did he do that? Through activities and ways of living that would train his whole personality to depend upon the risen Christ as Christ trained Himself to depend upon the Father.

In solitude we find psychic distance, the perspective from which we can see, in the light of eternity, the created things that trap, worry, and oppress us.

Every church needs to be able to answer two questions. First, what is our plan for making disciples? And second, does our plan work?
