The Bible Redirects My Will, Cleanses My

In The Prayer Time, The Battle Of The Spiritual Life Is Lost Or Won.

When The Church Listens To The Holy Spirit, It Becomes Fruitful. New Movements Are Born.

All Coming To Jesus Has The Feeling Of Homecoming Upon It. All Going Away From Him Has The Sense Of Estrangement Upon It. The Rich Young Ruler Went Away From Jesus "sorrowful." Everybody Does. Not Only Estrangement From God, But Also Estrangement From Oneself. And The Universe! And From Life! You Are Not At Home With Life, Unless You Are At Home With Life. And Jesus Is Life!

The Opponent Strikes You On Your Cheek, And You Strike Him On The Heart By Your Amazing Spiritual Audacity In Turning The Other Cheek. You Wrest The Offensive From Him By Refusing To Take His Weapons, By Keeping Your Own, And By Striking Him In His Conscience From A Higher Level. He Hits You Physically, And You Hit Him Spiritually.

God, To Redeem Us At The Deepest Portion Of Our Nature - The Urge To Love And Be Loved - Must Reveal His Nature In An Incredible And Impossible Way. He Must Reveal It At A Cross.
