We need to be asking ourselves: "Am I healthy with this person and is this person healthy with me?" Are you healthy in your mind, heart and body when you are with this person? And do you contribute the same to them? We shouldn't be asking if we love someone. We must ask if we are healthy with someone and if they are healthy with us. This is the grounds for a relationship.”

My personal experience of the relentless tenderness of God came not from exegetes, theologians, and spiritual writers, but from sitting still in the presence of the living Word and beseeching Him to help me understand with my head and heart His written Word. Sheer scholarship alone cannot reveal to us the gospel of grace. We must never allow the authority of books, institutions, or leaders to replace the authority of *knowing* Jesus Christ personally and directly. When the religious views of others interpose between us and the primary experience of Jesus as the Christ, we become unconvicted and unpersuasive travel agents handing out brochures to places we have never visited.”
