“As theologian and emeritus professor D. A. Carson has observed, People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.1”

“Evil never wants to be noticed, I should mention here. It sneaks in and hijacks our minds, and we barely notice anything’s amiss.”
― Jennie Allen, Get Out of Your Head: Stopping the Spiral of Toxic Thoughts

“LIE: I’ll feel better if I stay distracted. TRUTH: Only being with God will satisfy me. Better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.5 I CHOOSE TO BE STILL WITH GOD.”

I Choose to Be Still with God 9. Lifelines
I Choose to Be Known 10. Unafraid
I Choose to Surrender My Fears to God 11. A Beautiful Interruption
I Choose to Delight in God 12. Less Important
I Choose to Serve God and Others 13. Not Overcome
