""When you default to thinking of prayer as an abstract activity, a 'thing to do', the tendency is to focus on the prayer as an activity--which makes it boring. Instead, focus on the one to whom you are praying. Reminding yourself who you are coming before is a great help against distraction, and changes the prayer" (p. 20)." — Feb 19, 2026 06:33PM

"Chapter Six: “Judas in the Church: The Borderland of Hospitality” | “Make no mistake: it is a million times safer to include unbelieving neighbors and people who have not claimed the blood of Jesus or citizenship of the church [in hospitality] than to let a potential Judas run loose in the church. Atheists do far less harm than hypocrites.”" — Jan 28, 2026 08:51PM
