If we are serious about our discipleship, Jesus will eventually request each of us to do those very things which are most difficult for us to do.

Within what is allotted to us, we can have spiritual contentment.

So much depends, therefore, upon our maintaining gospel perspective in the midst of ordinariness, the pressures of temptation, tribulation, deprivation, and the cares of the world.

We may never become accustomed to untrue and unjust criticism of us but we ought not to be immobilized by it.

Every dimension of the gospel is relevant to one or more of our social and political problems of our time.

Sometimes the best people... have the worst experiences... because they are ready to learn

Any assessment of where we stand in relationship to Him tells us that we do not stand at all. We kneel.
