This faith that we have embraced, this Life that we have taken into our hearts, will be our undoing. And it means to be that. It is designed to be the end of us. The Jesus I've come to see and know at work in my life is the One who comes to undermine my own small-minded and wrong-headed plans. He is the Trojan Horse of blessing that we readily welcome into our hearts without knowing His mission to destroy us.

- Glenn Packlam, Subversive Jesus and His Trojan Horse

American spirituality has glorified ’searching’ for spiritual meaning but de-emphasized ‘finding.’ In other words, it is good to be looking for spirituality, but it is intolerant to actually believe you have found a right faith.

- Ed Stetzer, quoted in Kane County Chronicle (HT: Joe Thorne)
