Jesus says if you want to have me, you must give up that other thing that has you.

For a life to be fully yielded, it must wrestle the impossible and win.

The holy, all-loving, all-powerful, all-mighty, perfectly peaceful and joyful Life of God is waiting to be ours. It is a priceless gift that comes with only one condition: His Life can only be had in exchange for our own.

Christianity = me moving out, God moving in.

The Word of God is a treasure map. That treasure map is the most valuable thing you have until you get to that treasure.

Purity is the gatekeeper for everything precious and blissful in God's kingdom.

And the flesh is that reprehensible preference for self that lurks within every one of our hearts. It is that base and selfish instinct to preserve our own interests at the expense of God's interests. It's devious, it's deceitful, it's self-indulgent. It's interested only in selfish comfort and will happily crucify Christ afresh to secure it. God also has another name for it- sin.
