“I walked out to the hill just now. It is exalting, delicious. To stand embraced by the shadows of a friendly tree with the wind tugging at your coattail and the heavens hailing your heart, to gaze and glory and to give oneself again to God, what more could a man ask? Oh, the fullness, pleasure, sheer excitement of knowing God on earth. I care not if I never raise my voice again for Him, if only I may love Him, please Him. Mayhap, in mercy, He shall give me a host of children that I may lead through the vast star fields to explore His delicacies whose fingers' ends set them to burning. But if not, if only I may see Him, smell His garments, and smile into my Lover's eyes, ah, then, not stars, nor children, shall matter--only Himself.”

“...her life was full of power in ways that I never knew possible. How when unbelief came near, she faithfully turned Scripture loose to capture and strangle it into submission to a higher will than her own. A gifted woman she was but ungodly she was not. I had known many a person with glorious gifts and satanic lives, but this woman showed me that knowing God was more than knowing about Him and doing things for Him but knowing Him.”

“If we know God and are known by him, we have access to gaining control of our bodies in holiness and honor. But it will never occur apart from him. ...apart from Jesus, we can do nothing. We are not able to stand against our flesh. But he is. We are like barnacles clinging to a whale - we get nowhere, and no sustenance, without him. Unless we cling to the mighty host, we die.”

“The desire of God for each one of us is to know Him as a loving Father. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray, He told them to direct their requests to the Father (Matt 6:9). By doing so, he affirms that God is not only the father of Jesus Christ, but also of all those who have accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior (John 1:12, 20:17b”

“In her eye I see that the eagle must even know my name and, by the gaping of her beak, will shortly scream my name, and this terrifies me. For shall my name be screamed in judgment or in blessing? And what shall be my name when it resounds to the four corners of the earth?”

“But I do not know much - except perhaps the One - as it is written thus: 'Nothing except Jesus.' Yet even added up...just copy-cat expressions, wanna-be humble platitudes, try-hard lip service, feel-strong sayings, feel-good quotations plus virtue-signalling slogans and such...these things are not enough: because He must know me.”

“Theology is basically the study of the nature of God. A Christian faith that all-out rejects theology is showing not much else other than pride by false humility - as though one's personal relationship with God is closer than that of any other persons, writings, or anything outside of their own experience, and as they interpret that experience. This is often a side-stepping of true obedience to God: How are you wholly and obediently, honestly seeking His will if you are not willing to dig deeper? And how do you genuinely love someone you do not care to know more about? Our Father is everlasting, His history is worthy, His past is vast and His character is real. A sincere theology is not a trap to be avoided, but rather a gift to be opened.”
