The Spiritual disciplines are wisdom and not righteousness.

When Jesus directs us to pray, "Thy kingdom come," he does not mean we should pray for it to come into existence.

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

The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow or require our minds to dwell upon.

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

A disciple is a person who has decided that the most important thing in their life is to learn how to do what Jesus said to do.

Jesus came among us to show and teach the life for which we were made. He came very gently, opened access to the governance of God with him, and set afoot a conspiracy of freedom in truth among human beings. Having overcome death he remains among us. By relying on his word and presence we are enabled to reintegrate the little realm that makes up our life in the infinite rule of God. And that is the eternal kind of life. Caught up in his active rule, our deeds become an element in God’s eternal history. They are what God and we do together, making us part of his life and him a part of ours.
