J.R. Woodward Quotes

The Prescription For Spiritual Transformation Has Often Been Too Individualistically Oriented. We Are Encouraged To Engage In Spiritual Disciplines So That We Might Have The Power To Do What We Can't Do By Will Power Alone. But What Happens When People Don't Have The "will Power" To Engage Spiritual Disciples On A Consistent Basis? Our Character Is Left Untended. "In A Wild World Like Ours, Your Character, Left Untended, Will Become A Stale Room, An Obnoxious Child, A Vacant Lot Filled With Thorns, Weeds, Broken Bottles, Raggedy Grocery Bags, And Dog Droppings. Your Deepest Channels Will Silt In, And You Will Feel Yourself Shallowing. You'll Become A Presence Neither You Nor Others Will Enjoy, And You And They Will Spend More And More Time And Energy Trying To Be Anywhere Else."[1] So What Are We To Do?
