“Your mind will really talk to you when you begin to deny fulfillment to your desires, and you will find how subtle and shameless it is.”

The union Christ had with the Father was the greatest that we can conceive of in this life-if indeed we can conceive of it.

Our failure to hear His voice when we want to is due to the fact that we do not in general want to hear it, that we want it only when we think we need it.

We are unceasing spiritual beings with an eternal destiny in God’s great universe.

Make disciples. Surround them in the reality of the Trinity in a fellowship of disciples. Teach them to do everything Jesus says.

The idea of having faith in Jesus has come to be totally isolated from being his apprentice and learning how to do what he said.

The aim of spiritual formation is not behavior modification but the transformation of all those aspects of you and me where behavior comes from…Circumcision of the heart.

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.

Being empty makes me whole sometimes. I wonder if every hollow hole has its own solidity of fulfillment.

The past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, of fulfillment in whaterver form. Both are illusions.

It’s okay to do whatever you need to do to feel fulfilled, balanced, and connected to yourself. 

One has to be insincere and promise something which you cannot fulfill. So you either have to be a fool who does not understand what you are promising, or deliberately be lying.

Everyone has his own specific vocation or mission in life; everyone must carry out a concrete assignment that demands fulfillment.

God uses our potential to unlock our purpose! Go out there today and maximize your potential and watch fulfillment in your heart start to grow.

Each person comes into this world with a specific destiny – he has something to fulfill, some message has to be delivered, some work has to be completed.

Potential is key to our purpose!! There’s fulfillment in perfecting a craft, skill, or a any form of art.
