Prayer Is An Effort Of Will.

God Nowhere Tells Us To Give Up Things For The Sake Of Giving Them Up. He Tells Us To Give Them Up For The Sake Of The Only Thing Worth Having - Viz., Life With Himself. It Is A Question Of Loosening The Bonds That Hinder The Life.

Beware Of Any Work For God That Causes Or Allows You To Avoid Concentrating On Him.

If Jesus Ever Commanded Us To Do Something That He Was Unable To Equip Us To Accomplish, He Would Be A Liar. And If We Make Our Own Inability A Stumbling Block Or An Excuse Not To Be Obedient, It Means That We Are Telling God That There Is Something Which He Has Not Yet Taken Into Account.

God Can Never Make Us Wine If We Object To The Fingers He Uses To Crush Us With.

God's Grace Turns Out Men And Women With A Strong Family Likeness To Jesus Christ, Not Milksops.
