more than surrendering to Christ

"As we progress into  the grace walk we must move beyond surrender...intimacy with the Lord Jesus will become the consuming passion of your life."  (Steve McVey, in his book: Grace Walk, pgs. 122-123)

abiding and humility

"What opens the abiding door is  humility, and what closes it is pride."  (Michael Wells, in his book Sidetracked in the Wilderness, page 115.

freedom and spirituality

"Freedom will not make us any more or less spiritual than imprisonment.  Spirituality comes from a simple recognition that we have nothing."  Michael Wells, Day 104 in My Weakness for His Strength.

Jesus and freedom

Christianity is the only "religion" that uses the word "freedom."  Maintaining a religious system is impossible.  However, Jesus is not a "religion"; with Him we have a RELATIONSHIP.  Well, amen.

wrong focus

"Focusing on 'values' and a value system drives an obsession with 'right' & 'wrong' (tree of knowledge of good & evil)...and makes people self-conscious instead of God-conscious."  (Steve McVey, in his book Grace Walk)
