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

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

Obedience to Christ is the easy way, take my yoke.

The true saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on takeoff.

The command is "Do no work." Just make space. Attend to what is around you. Learn that you don't have to DO to BE. accept the grace of doing nothing. Stay with it until you stop jerking and squirming.

We renovate the heart by, of course, changing it, but we can't do that, really, without changing the other essential parts of the human personality.

Consumer Christianity is now normative. The consumer Christian is one who utilizes the grace of God for forgiveness and the services of the church for special occasions, but does not give his or her life and innermost thoughts, feelings, and intentions over to the kingdom of the heavens. Such Christians are not inwardly transformed and not committed to it.
