“I like to translate metanoeite this way: “Think about how you have been thinking.”

“Here is the basic idea behind all temptation: God is presented to our minds as depriving us of what is good (or at least of what we want) by His commands, so we think we must take matters into our own hands.

― Alan Andrews, The Kingdom Life: A Practical Theology of Discipleship and Spiritual Formation

“We say that one thing causes growth, when in reality we do many things to accomplish that growth.”
