Men are reasoning rather than reasonable animals.

I never liked jazz music because jazz music doesn't resolve. But I was outside the Bagdad Theater in Portland one night when I saw a man playing the saxophone. I stood there for fifteen minutes, and he never opened his eyes. After that I liked jazz music. Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way. I used to not like God because God didn't resolve. But that was before any of this happened.

Little input of God's Word results in little resemblance to God's Son.

How does the Word memorized become the Word applied? It happens through meditation.

When it comes to spirituality, you do what you do because you believe what you believe. Regardless of the importance you consciously place upon it, theology drives and determines your spirituality.

Regardless of how busy we become with all things Christian, we must remember that the most transforming practice available to us is the disciplined intake of Scripture.

The reality of human behavior is that most people avoid those activities in which they perceive themselves to be failures.

So the Spiritual Disciplines are those personal and interpersonal activities given by God in the Bible as the sufficient means believers in Jesus Christ are to use in the Spirit-filled, gospel-driven pursuit of godliness, that is, closeness to Christ and conformity to Christ.

If it ever occurs to people to value the honour of the mind equally with the honour of the body, we shall get a social revolution of a quite unparalleled sort.

Those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.

I'll be who I am and say what I feel because people who mind don't matter and people who matter don't mind.

As you spend time with God, you'll begin to think like Him, which will allow you to pray according to His heart and will.
