Strength other than that received from God is just hype manufactured by men.

We don’t have the power to change reality. However, we do have the power to destroy ourselves in the effort to avoid it.

Let us not fall prey to the leaching negativity and rank pessimism that runs unleashed all around us. Rather, with the utmost determination we must bring ourselves to understand that these lies have been given legitimacy by people who thought themselves as powerless in the face of them, rather than recognizing that we have the power to rip the face off of them.

Freedom abused is one of the greatest forms of slavery imaginable.

The problem with holiness is that once we look into the face of it we are no longer capable of taking that which is odious and filthy and somehow pretending that it’s translucent and clean. In other words, we have to do one of the most revolting things possible; we have to face ourselves.

If I am bending the truth because it refuses to adhere to my agenda, I must realize that in the bending the truth has forewarned me that I am not crafting an agenda at all. Rather, I am crafting the trajectory of my own demise. And even though I adamantly reject such a notion as preposterous, it is a truth that I cannot bend.

Just because we chose to reject the truth does mean that such an option was actually available to us.

Do we actually think that we have the power to subjugate evil and wrestle it into blind obedience as some whipped puppy? For if evil can convince us of this, it has ‘subjugated’ us and ‘wrestled’ us into blind obedience without us having any idea that we just got whipped.

Truth is its own defense, therefore if something can’t speak for itself, it’s not truth.
