“As we reach out to God, we get another source of strength.”

Of course, we do the righteous deed because of our redemption, not for our redemption.

I’m practicing the discipline of not having to have the last word.

Even professing Christians, by and large, devote to their spiritual growth and well-being a tiny fraction of the time they devote to their body, and it is even tinier fraction if we include what they worry about.

We know we can’t be spiritually transformed by just focusing on the will.

That’s the illusion – the idea that you can be all right on the inside and not act it out – and it has affected us in many ways. That’s a part of the idea that professing is enough.

God’s address is at the end of your rope.

When the light comes into a room, we do not have to say, “Now what are we going to do about the darkness?” It’s gone!

God may not guide us in an obvious way because he wants us to make decisions based on faith and character.

We are becoming who we will be-forever.

Most problems in contemporary churches can be explained by the fact that members have never decided to follow Christ.

Grace is not just about forgiveness but about life.

A carefully cultivated heart will, assisted by the grace of God, foresee, forestall, or transform most of the painful situations before which others stand like helpless children saying “Why?

We are invited to make a pilgrimage – into the heart and life of God.

The more we pray, the more we think to pray, and as we see the results of prayer-the responses of our Father to our requests-our confidence in God’s power spills over into other areas of our life.

In one way or another, it is a common mistake to think transformation is all in the will. And it isn’t! It’s in the mind – how we think, what occupies our minds, and so forth. It’s in our feelings. It’s in our body.

Relations between parents and children and siblings and mates. This is not external. We can’t separate them.

The body is a reservoir of all sorts of tensions and dark forces. And it’s also the potential source of amazing energy. This thing wants to live. It is a powerful engine.

You cannot do leadership without a source of regenerative strength. What is your source?

I…am an evolved being who deals solely with the source of light…in all of us in our own minds. No middleman required.

In figure painting, the type of all painting, I have endeavoured to set forth that the principal if not sole source of life enchantments are Tactile Values, Movement and Space Composition.

Opinion has a significance proportioned to the sources that sustain it.

I’ve been reading the books. It’s the origination, it’s the primary source. You should always go back to the books.

I’ve detected myself using a new rule of thumb: if you don’t link to primary sources, I just don’t trust you.

In terms of a narrative nonfiction book, when you’re describing scenes that you have multiple sources for, and that you have differing sources for, and you decide to choose a path that puts all that information together.
