“People change and needs change. So what was spirituality once is spirituality no more. What generally goes under the name of spirituality is merely the record of past methods.”
Don’t cut the person to fit the coat.
“When Christ bids you ‘Come,’ He bids you ‘Come and die.’” Dietrich Bonhoeffer
“Let's not pretend this is easier than it really is. If you want to live a morally pure life, here's what you have to do: You have to blind your right eye the moment you catch it in a lustful leer. You have to choose to live one-eyed or else be dumped on a moral trash pile. And you have to chop off your right hand the moment you notice it raised threateningly. Better a bloody stump than your entire being discarded for good in the dump.”
Jesus of Nazareth"All I know is that I can’t keep pretending that I am immune to the things I spend my time doing, watching and listening to. I can’t keep thinking Proverbs was wrong and it is possible to put coals in your lap without getting burned.
At some point, I’ve got to be honest with myself. And God is making that harder and harder to ignore lately." Jon Acuff
