"Dangerous Calling" by Paul Tripp. Extremely humbling book. All ministry leaders & church attenders should read it.

If people can't C what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend 2 what He reveals, they R most blessed. Prv29:18

@PaulTripp: Weakness is not your biggest problem, God's grace is sufficient, but it's delusions of strength that get in the way of your growth in grace.

Nothing you have not given away will ever really be yours. C. S. Lewis

@PaulTripp: Belief is not simply a function of the brain. No, it's an investment of the heart that fundamentally changes the way you live.

"Learning to pray doesn't offer a less busy life, it offers a less busy heart."
- Paul Miller

Rt RickWarren: Doubts are meant to be doubted; Beliefs are meant to be believed.

RT "In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart." - John Bunyan

Col. 3:1-3,16, Keep applying/learning God's character traits taught by His spirit 2 His children from His Word. Bible time = creating faith.

PaulTripp: "It is dangerous 2 live without your heart being captured by the awe of God, because awe of God is quickly replaced by awe of U.

Daily manna (Bible instruction) has always been part of God's personal relationship for our heart change. Not frozen dinners alone.

To the degree that you forget that you are a sinner, you will underestimate your daily need for Christ and the relationships in His body that are His tools for change. "How people change" Lane

God & Bible seem unfriendly if we don't truly embrace 1/3 of Him; the interactive helper Holy Spirit = conviction, comfort, & Bible tutor.

Treasuring God is the essence of loving him, and the mind serves this love by comprehending (imperfectly and partially, but truly) the truth and beauty and worth of the Treasure. Piper

If I truly believe God - actions will follow. By faith, I act on things I truly believe in, like His words = Bible.

Mark 9: I have no independent, self-sufficient ability to defeat evil inside; that's why I need Jesus. Believing Jesus=praying about change.

Romans 4: God accepted Abraham after he believed God vrs "in God". Our addiction 2 know why was ignored, Ab acted just because God said.

RT "PaulTripp: True love is always appropriately jealous. God's love wouldn't be love if he was willing to share your heart with other lovers."

RT - PaulTripp: Grace requires you to live a brutally honest life, while it introduces you to more daily hope than you thought you would ever had.
