“When God speaks to us, it does not prove that we are righteous or even right. It does not even prove that we have correctly understood what he said.

Humility is always in order”–Dallas Willard, Hearing God: Developing a Conversational Relationship with God, 39. 

“Man’s chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever”–Westminster Shorter Catechism.

“As for me, I never lived, I was half-dead, I was a rotting tree, until I reached the place where I wholly, with utter honesty, resolved and then re-resolved that I would find God’s will, and I would do that will though every fiber in me said no, and I would win the battle in my thoughts. It was as though some deep artesian well had been struck in my soul. . .You and I shall soon blow away from our bodies. Money, praise, poverty, opposition, these make no difference, for they will all alike be forgotten in a thousand years, but this spirit which comes to a mind set upon continuous surrender, this spirit is timeless”–Frank Laubach, Letters by a Modern Mystic, 14.

    Dallas Willard said that! When was it written?

    😉 Between Stephen, Paul, Peter and a few others along with my personal experiece: the point has been proved/made. Romans 12:3 Yet we only “get it” in spots across the (would be) Body. Ah, the stuff of Revival. When those strange words and silly actions begin to make sense in the core of each life in attendance. Another step in Your Direction Lord, another Step. Thanks!
