Discipline, for the Christian, begins with the body. We have only one. It is this body that is the primary material given to us for sacrifice. We cannot give our hearts to God and keep our bodies for ourselves.

A man must at times be hard as nails: willing to face up to the truth about himself, and about the woman he loves, refusing compromise when compromise is wrong. But he must also be tender. No weapon will breach the armor of a woman's resentment like tenderness.

Lonely? Give it to Jesus. The loneliness itself is material for sacrifice.

The way we live ought to manifest the truth of what we believe. A messy life speaks of a messy and incoherent faith.

If you have lost your life, remember that He promises that you will find it.
