“We must learn to cast off our anxieties because we have so many of them. The world destroys spiritual life by generating constant anxiety. Jesus said that the life of the gospel is choked out by the cares of this world. We know this to be true yet we are more chained and tethered to the world than ever before in the human race.” KnowsWorldHumansSaidCareSpiritualJesusRaceThis WorldAnxietyConstantCastsBeing TrueHuman RaceSpiritual LifeChained Author:John Ortberg
“Was it possible that a bustling display of energy might only be a camouflage for a spiritual vacuum? The thought so impressed me that I mentioned it next day to the French purser, at whose table I was sitting. He nodded his agreement. "Stevenson is right," he said. "Indeed, if you will pardon my saying so, the idea applies particularly to you Americans. A lot of your countrymen keep so busy getting things done that they reach the end of their lives without ever having lived at all."” IfsSaidIdeasEndsDoneMightSpiritualNextEnergySittingTablesBusyAgreementDisplayImpressedNext DayPardonVacuumsThings DoneCountrymenGetting Things DoneCamouflage Author:Arthur Gordon Webster

“When a soul has advanced so far on the spiritual road as to be lost to all the natural methods of communing with God; when it seeks Him no longer by meditation, images, impressions, nor by any other created ways, or representations of sense, but only by rising above them all, in the joyful communion with Him by faith and love, then it may be said to have found God of a truth, because it has truly lost itself as to all that is not God, and also as to its own self.” WayMaySaidSoulSelfSpiritualFoundLostNaturalMeditationTruth IsAnd LoveMethodImpressionRisingJoyfulRepresentationCommunionRise AboveFaith And Love Author:John of the Cross
“The time has come when we must take an unyielding stand. We must shore up our spiritual underpinnings, listen to the prophets of God, and follow their counsel.Said Paul to Timothy: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord.” (2 Timothy 1:7-8.)It requires courage to make good choices, even when others around us choose differently. As we make righteous choices day by day in little things, the Lord will strengthen us and help us choose the right during more difficult times.” MindLittlesSaidHelpingSpiritualSpiritChoicesGivenDifficultSoundLordProphetAshamedLittle ThingsShoreRighteousTestimonyDifficult TimesOur LordUnyieldingGood ChoicesSound Mind Author:W.
