A Spiritual Narcissist?
The gentlest form of spiritual narcissism is the idea that one can accomplish one's own spiritual growth... The belief that 'I can do it' is intimately associated with the assumption that 'it is my idea, my desire, to do it.' spiritual narcissism works to deny the realization that our spirituality comes from God.

Porn Addiction Not Just a Male Issue
According to Trueman, the concept of pornography as a "victimless crime" is a complete fallacy. He argues his case by looking at the influence literature can have on one's life. "We know that anybody who has a steady diet of good books and literature is advanced in society," he points out. "Their knowledge is enhanced. Their conversation is enhanced. Their goals are enhanced."
But someone who "debases themselves with a steady diet of pornography," he says, is going to be harmed by it. "They have a tortured view of normality in society," Trueman explains. "They want to act out what they've seen in pornography." And that, he claims, leads to increased incidence of sexual diseases, withdrawal from society, and breakdown in relationships -- particularly marriages.

Difference between good and bad?
In this crazy world, there's an enormous distinction between good times and bad, between sorrow and joy. But in the eyes of God, they're never separated. Where there is pain, there is healing. Where there is mourning, there is dancing. Where there is poverty, there is the kingdom.

Theological Wilderness
The unattended garden will soon be overrun with weeds; the heart that fails to cultivate truth and root out error will shortly be a theological wilderness.

God Determines the End of Life
God has reserved to Himself the right to determine the end of life, because He alone knows the goal to which it is His will to lead it. It is for Him alone to justify a life or to cast it away.

Live in the Moment
I was regretting the past and fearing the future. Suddenly God was speaking: "My name is I am." I waited and God continued: "When you live in the past, with its mistakes and regrets, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I was. When you live in the future, with its problems and fears, it is hard. I am not there. My name is not I will be. When you live in this moment, it is not hard. I am here. My name is I AM."
