Top Highlights
“The difference is one of motivation: legalism is self-centered; discipline is God centered. The legalistic heart says, ‘I will do this thing to gain points with God.’ The disciplined heart says, ‘I will do this thing because I love God and want to please him.’” (Page 24)
“Men—just when we think that we are the safest; when our problems appear solved; when we feel no need to keep our guard up, no need to bolster our integrity, no need to discipline ourselves for godliness—temptation will come!” (Pages 33–34)
“The mind controlled by lust has an infinite capacity for rationalization—even pious rationalization!” (Page 35)
“Therefore, as children of grace, our spiritual discipline is everything—everything! We repeat: discipline is everything in the Christian life.” (Page 19)
“But none of us can claim a natural spiritual advantage. In reality, we are all equally disadvantaged. None of us naturally seeks after God.” (Page 18)
