The more we pray, the more we think to pray, and as we see the results of prayer-the responses of our Father to our requests-our confidence in God's power spills over into other areas of our life.

A great part of the disaster of contemporary life lies in the fact that it is organized around feelings. People nearly always act on their feelings, and think it only right. The will is then left at the mercy of circumstances that evoke feelings. Christian spiritual formation today must squarely confront this fact and overcome it.

History has brought us to the point where the Christian message is thought to be essential concerned only with how to deal with sin: with wrongdoing or wrong-being and its effects. Life, our actual existence, is not included in what is now presented as the heart of the Christian message, or it is included only marginally.

What we can do with these means (our own unassisted strength) is still very small compared to what we could do in acting in union with God himself, who created and ultimately controls all other forces.

Spiritual formation in Christ moves us toward a total interchange of our ideas and images for his.

The kingdom of God is the true ecology of the human soul.

What we can accomplish as good as it may be does not compare to what God can accomplish

The Bible, of course, is not a theology book. It is certainly not a philosophy book. So we have to derive the meaning of terms from the context in use.

The sinner is not the one who uses a lot of grace... The saint burns grace like a 747 burns fuel on take off.

Relations between parents and children and siblings and mates. This is not external. We can't separate them.

The soul's order is re-established in God through the law.

The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It's the person you become.

To allow lust (or strong desires) to govern our life is to exalt our will over God's.
