Greatness Is Never Achieved Through Indecision.

For Many Of Us The Great Danger Is Not That We Will Renounce Our Faith. It Is That We Will Become So Distracted And Rushed And Preoccupied That We Will Settle For A Mediocre Version Of It.

The Entire Life Of Jesus Isn't The Story Of Somebody Climbing Up A Ladder; It's A Picture Of Someone Coming Down-a Series Of Demotions. The Problem With Spending Our Lives Climbing Up The Ladder Is That We Will Go Right Past Jesus, For He's Coming Down.

One Of The Great Misconceptions About Spiritual Growth That Develops In A Lot Of Churches Is That Information Alone Is Adequate To Produce Transformed Human Beings. So If We Want To Have A Church Of Spiritually Mature People, Let's Just Keep Cramming More And More Information Into Them... Information Alone Is Not Adequate For The Transformation Of The Human Personality.

Skeptics Would Rather, Even At Their Own Expense, Appear To Be Right Than Take The Risk Of Trusting.

We Must Learn To Cast Off Our Anxieties Because We Have So Many Of Them. The World Destroys Spiritual Life By Generating Constant Anxiety. Jesus Said That The Life Of The Gospel Is Choked Out By The Cares Of This World. We Know This To Be True Yet We Are More Chained And Tethered To The World Than Ever Before In The Human Race.
