“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

“One God-honoring thought has the potential to change the trajectory of both history and eternity. Just as one uninterrupted lie in my head has the potential to bring about unimaginable destruction in the world around me.”

“. Drawing Battle Lines 8. Holding Space for Silence
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
I Choose to Be Grateful 14. Run Your Race
I Choose to Seek the Good of Others”
