“St. Teresa of Avila wrote: 'All difficulties in prayer can be traced to one cause: praying as if God were absent.' This is the conviction that we bring with us from early childhood and apply to everyday life and to our lives in general. It gets stronger as we grow up, unless we are touched by the Gospel and begin the spiritual journey. This journey is a process of dismantling the monumental illusion that God is distant or absent.”
― Thomas Keating, Fruits and Gifts of the Spirit

“[...]not even dying a martyr's death is classified as extraordinary obedience when you are following a Savior who died on a cross.”
― David Platt, Radical: Taking Back Your Faith from the American Dream

“When we preach Christianity, we have to own it. When we preach Jesus, we don’t have to own anything. Jesus owns us. We don’t have to defend Him. We don’t even have to explain Him. All we have to do is point with our fingers, like the blind man in the book of John, and say, “There is Jesus. All I know is that He touched me, and where I was once blind, now I see.”
― Carl Medearis, Speaking of Jesus: The Art of Not-Evangelism
