The needed change within us is God's work, not ours. The demand is for an inside job, and only God can work from the inside. We cannot attain or earn this righteousness of the kingdom of God: it is a grace that is given.

Owning things is an obsession in our culture. If we own it, we feel we can control it; and if we control it, we feel it will give us more pleasure. The idea is an illusion.

Let's discipline ourselves so that our words are few and full.

When we genuinely believe that inner transformation is God's work and not ours, we can put to rest our passion to set others straight.

reject anything that is producing an addiction in you.

Worship is our response to the overtures of love from the heart of the Father.
