We call our religion the Great Romance, but really it feels more like a list of rules than anything similar to the Great Romance we once had. But now I think the knowledge of Elyon is starting to work its way into me again--in both realities...If Elyon's real there, surely God must be real here.

Whether we see God or only seek to see God, I believe we add to the Divine Essence when we simply fasten our minds and lives onto God.

For we are now so blind and unwise that we never seek God till He of His goodness shew Himself to us. And when we aught see of Him graciously, then are we stirred by the same grace to seek with great desire to see Him more blissfully. And thus I saw Him, and sought Him; and I had Him, I wanted Him. And this is, and should be, our common working in this [life], as to my sight.

Someone is reckoned as upright not by practicing the Law but by faith in Jesus Christ" (Galatians 2:16)?

Getting answers to my questions is not the goal of the spiritual life. Living in the presence of God is the greater call.

The paradox of prayer is that it asks for a serious effort while it can only be received as a gift. We cannot plan, organize or manipulate God; but without a careful discipline, we cannot receive him either.

We must choose with our agency to obey in faith that the promised blessing will come, that the promise is true because it comes from God.

Lord cannot always spare you and your family and complete His redemptive work in those around you.

Have you received a word from the Master that awaits your next step of faith? If you will proceed with what He has told you, no matter how incredible it might seem, you will experience the joy of seeing your Lord perform a miracle, and so will those around you.

Don't settle for a religious life that lacks a vital relationship with Jesus Christ. When God is present, the difference will be obvious.

Natural man's sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.

Christ wants not nibblers of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible.
