“Paul equated the ultimate gain in life—what he called “the surpassing value”—with knowing Christ. This is not merely knowledge that one gains through study. This is deep intimacy that transcends our greatest thoughts and feelings about God.”

“As Christians, we recognize that only God can truly save us. God’s sanctifying grace through the work of the Spirit is the means of experiencing wholeness and approaching an integrated “true self.” But the practice of solitude is a way of signaling our dependence on God alone for deep healing. There is of course a place for community. Community is crucial for our spiritual formation. But no one can practice solitude for us or even with us.”
