Christians are not patched-up sinners, they are new creations.
The yoke you wear determines the burden you bear.
The counterfeit trinity is me, myself, and I.

A fast is not a hunger strike. Fasting submits to God's commands. A hunger strike makes God submit to our demands.
You cannot be responsible for salvation until first you've been responsible for sin.
