The Holy Spirit is at work in every person, witnessing to the reality of God, wooing faith into existence.
Once a person’s center of gravity shifts from what they are for to what they are against they will lose sight of what they were for and life becomes fueled by obsessive opposition.
We live in the age of the Spirit, where nothing is impossible with God.
God gets us where he wants us, no matter the machinations.
There is likely a massive disparity between what we say and what the world hears, because (as they say) actions speak louder than words.
The Holy Spirit is to the process of actually becoming a Christian as oxygen is to the human body.
The way of the cross calls us to interpret our difficulties and sufferings as perhaps one of the most confirming signs we are in the center of God’s will.
Give yourself to what may seem small today—history often reverses conclusions about the kingdom of God.
This is how the Holy Spirit works, not by overcoming power with brute force, but by subverting power with gentle humility.
Faith and worry simply cannot co-exist. One will overcome the other every time.
If the people of God can’t work out their own problems and grievances among themselves, we’ve got little hope of convincing outsiders that they should join our “wonderful” community.
