Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was

4
I believe that people are meant to live in an
ongoing conversation with God, speaking and being
spoken to. Dallas Willard, Professor of
Philosophy, University of Southern California

Why is it that when we speak to God we are said
to be praying, but when God speaks to us we are
said to be schizophrenic? Lilly Tomlin,
Comedian

Spiritual people are not those who engage in
certain spiritual practices they are those who
draw their life from a conversational

tells me I am his own, And the joy we share as we
tarry there, None other has ever known. C.
Austin Miles, In The Garden
8
I make it my business to persevere in his Holy
presence, wherein I keep myself by a simple
attention and a general fond regard to God, which
I may call an ACTUAL PRESENCE of God or, to
speak better, an habitual, silent, and secret
conversation of the soul with God. Brother
Lawrence

A biblical Christian is not just someone who
holds certain beliefs about the Bible. He or she
is also someone who leads the kind of life
demonstrated in the Bible a life of personal,
intelligent interaction with God. Dallas
Willard, Professor of Philosophy U. of Southern
California
10
Gods voice will never tell us to engage in any
activity or relationship that is inconsistent
with the Holy Scriptures. Charles Stanely

Anyone who rejects the general counsels of
Scripture is in fact planning not to be guided by
God and cannot then rely on being able to be
delivered from their difficulties by obtaining
Gods input on particular occasions. Dallas
Willard, Philosopher U. of Southern California
12
Earths crammed with Heaven, and every common
bush afire with God but only he who sees takes
off his shoes. Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The Holy Spirit living within us and speaking
to us ought to be the natural, normal life-style
of believers. Charles Stanley

It is completely foreign to the New Testament
to split the Christian community into one speaker
and a silent body of listeners. D.A. Carson,
Theologian
15
Get Thee to a Home Church. Bruxy Cavey
16
Certainly the Spirits purposes are
Christocentric. D.A. Carson, Theologian
17
If you call out for insight and cry aloud for
understanding, and if you look for it as for
silver and search for it as for hidden
treasure, then you will understand the fear of
the LORD and find the knowledge of God.
Proverbs 23-5 (NIV)
18
We live in a culture that has, for centuries
now, cultivated the idea that the skeptical
person is always smarter than one who believes.

as you doubt. Dallas Willard, Professor of

It would be strange if we came to shun the
genuine simply because it resembled the
counterfeit. Dallas Willard, Professor of
Philosophy, U. of Southern California
23
But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first
of all pure then peace-loving, considerate,
submissive, full of mercy and good fruit,
impartial and sincere. James 317 (TNIV)
24
This is how God showed his love among us He
sent his one and only Son into the world that we
might live through him. This is love not that we
loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son
as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 1 John
49-10 (TNIV)
25
Love culminates in bliss when it doth reach A
white, unflickering, fear-consuming glow And
knowing it is known as it doth know, Needs no
assuring word or soothing speech. It craves but
silent nearness, so to rest, No sound, no
movement, love not heard but felt, Longer and
longer still, till time should melt, A snow-flake
on the eternal oceans breast. Frances Ridley
Havergal
