By And Large, The Gospel Of Grace

The Most Powerful Thing That Can Happen In The Place Of Prayer Is That You Yourself Become The Prayer. You Leave The Prayer Room Able As Jesus' Hands And Feet On Earth. This Is What It Means To Pray Continually (without Ceasing), To See With The Eyes Of Jesus And To Hear With His Ears With Every Waking Moment.

When Our Inner Child Is Not Nurtured And Nourished, Our Minds Gradually Close To New Ideas, Unprofitable Commitments And The Surprises Of The Spirit.

Sin And Forgiveness And Falling And Getting Back Up And Losing The Pearl Of Great Price In The Couch Cushions But Then Finding It Again, And Again, And Again? Those Are The Stumbling Steps To Becoming Real, The Only Script That's Really Worth Following In This World Or The One That's Coming.

The Greatest Single Cause Of Atheism In The World Today Is Christians, Who Acknowledge Jesus With Their Lips And Walk Out The Door, And Deny Him By Their Lifestyle. That Is What An Unbelieving World Simply Finds Unbelievable.

To Ignore, Repress, Or Dismiss Our Feelings Is To Fail To Listen To The Stirrings Of The Spirit Within Our Emotional Life. Jesus Listened. In John's Gospel We Are Told That Jesus Was Moved With The Deepest Emotions (11:33)... The Gospel Portrait Of The Beloved Child Of Abba Is That Of A Man Exquisitely Attuned To His Emotions And Uninhibited In Expressing Them. The Son Of Man Did Not Scorn Of Reject Feelings As Fickle And Unreliable. They Were Sensitive Antennae To Which He Listened Carefully And Through Which He Perceived The Will Of His Father For Congruent Speech And Action.
