“The real issues aren’t the quarks that hold together our physical bodies. The real issue is our own personal nonlinearity - the real us. We can’t see our real selves; we only see the containers we happen to be in right now. The real “us” is software, not hardware, which means it’s without mass, which means it has no time. We are eternal - saved or not. That’s the problem, because we each have an eternity ahead of us. Where will we spend it?”

“Jesus was born of a woman so you and I could be born of God. He humbled Himself so that we could be lifted up. He became a servant so that we could be made joint heirs with Him. He suffered rejection so that we could become His friends. He denied Himself so that we could freely receive all things. He gave Himself so that He could bless us in every way. Wow. Our Own Paradox The real issues aren’t the quarks that hold together our physical bodies.”

“In order to compete with sin's appeal, holy desire, the longing to live a Christlike life that displays the relational beauty of Christ to others, must be rooted in faith. And that faith exists only when it is lodged in the certainty that soon it will give way to an incomparable experience of joy that will forever destroy the appeal of sin.”

“Spiritual formation is relational formation. It is easier, and therefore more talked about, to practice spiritual disciplines in an effort to feel God's presence than to practice them in order to draw on the Spirit's power to love well. Spiritually forming people may or may not regularly experience God with them. But spiritually forming people will grow to increasingly reveal God's nature by how they relate.”
