If you don't have a teacher you can't have a disciple.

No one need worry about our getting the best of God in some bargain with him, or that we might somehow succeed in using him for our purposes. Anyone who thinks this is a problem has seriously underestimated the intelligence and agility of our Father in the heavens. He will not be tricked or cheated.

Many Christians were suddenly prepared to look at traditional methods of spiritual formation. They could not help but see that spiritual growth and vitality stem from what we actually do with our lives, from the habits we form, and from the character that results.

What is thinking? It is the activity of searching out what must be true, or cannot be true, in the light of the given facts or assumptions.

If we do not make formation in Christ the priority, then we're just going to keep on producing Christians that are indistinguishable in their character from many non-Christians.

To withhold our bodies from religion is to exclude religion from our lives.

Most problems in contemporary churches can be explained by the fact that members have never decided to follow Christ.
