When I think about sanctification, a couple things immediately pop into my head. One is how slow it actually is. I think everybody wants the silver-bullet, the thing that makes sanctification move like a superhighway rather than the dirt path that it is.

Progress stems from education, culture, freedom and equality. Without these fundamentals, mankind will flounder.

What stirs up in my heart is, 'Oh would we see an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.'
