“(I eventually came to define my marriage counseling, no matter what the cultural mix, as trying to help people separate so that they would not have to “separate.”)”

“The eschatological is all about the power of God to change everything, and that change begins with the way we see things, it means a change in the way we look at the world and a change in what it means in the way we describe God. This “intellectual” change will empower us to the life-change we undergo as we are daily transformed into the image of Jesus. It is a paradigm shift, a change in worldviews, it is a change at the most basic level (it is an epistemic event), and it is like personally experiencing the apocalypse.”

“The change from night to day, the battle that is fought during that change, and the transformation into Jesus, can all feel a little bit apocalyptic. No one said that discipleship was easy.”
