From Inside Out

From the Inside Out

I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper to be with you
forever--the Spirit of truth.
John 14:16-17 (NCV)

Do-it-yourself Christianity is not much encouragement to the done-in and
worn-out.


Self-sanctification holds little hope for the addict. . . .


At some point we need more than good advice; we need help. Somewhere on this
journey home we realize that a fifty-fifty proposition is too little. We
need more. . . .


We need help. Help from the inside out. . . . Not near us. Not above us. Not
around us. But in us. In the part of us we don't even know. In the heart no
one else has seen. In the hidden recesses of our being dwells, not an angel,
not a philosophy, not a genie, but God.
