Your Mind Was Made To Know And

I Sometimes Fear That We Have So Redefined Conversion In Terms Of Human Decisions And Have So Removed Any Necessity Of The Experience Of God’s Spirit, That Many People Think They Are Saved When In Fact They Only Have Christian Ideas In Their Head Not Spiritual Power In Their Heart.

But Whatever You Do, Find The God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated Passion Of Your Life, And Find Your Way To Say It And Live For It And Die For It. And You Will Make A Difference That Lasts. You Will Not Waste Your Life.

Betrayed By Judas, Denied By Peter, Abandoned By The Eleven, Forsaken By God. Darkness, You Get One Hour. Then You Die.

So Saving Grace, Converting Grace, For Augustine, Is God's Giving Us A Sovereign Joy In God That Triumphs Over All Other Joys And Therefore Sways The Will. The Will Is Free To Move Toward Whatever It Delights In Most Fully, But It Is Not Within The Power Of Our Will To Determine What That Sovereign Joy Will Be.

Being Infinite, God Is Inexhaustibly Interesting. It Is Therefore Impossible That God Be Boring.
