Top Highlights
“The ultimate freedom we have as human beings is the power to select what we will allow our minds to dwell upon. It is in our thoughts that the first movements toward the renovation of the heart occur. Thoughts are the place where we can and must begin to change. There the light of God first begins to move upon us through the word of Christ, and there the divine Spirit begins to direct our will to God and his way. We are not totally free in this respect, but we do have great freedom here. We still have the ability and responsibility to try to retain God in our knowledge. And those who do so will surely make progress toward him; for if we truly do seek God as best we can, he, who always knows what is really in our hearts, will certainly make himself known to us.” (source)
“In the act of offering we give up ownership and control, and watch to see what God will do with it” (source)
“Resurrection was always bound to get you into trouble, and it regularly did.” (source)
“Rather we pray for it to take over at all points in the personal, social, and political order where it is now excluded: ‘on earth as it is in heaven.’” (source)
“The essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of him” (source)
