"Jesus tells us about the Father and our behavior is ought to be a practical consequence out of that revelation.
He is good to the wicked (Lk 6:28,35)
The wicked judge listens to the widow, how much more will He listen (Lk 18.1-5)
The lazy friend will help, how much more will He help (Lk 11:5-8)
We, sinners, do good for our children, how much more will He give (Lk 11:11-13)
He awaits us with open arms. (Lk 15:11-32)" — May 07, 2025 02:49AM

"The book concludes the chapter on obedience with a remark, that we have countless opportunities to show obedience by letting go of our preferences and submitting our will, which are in no way dangerous. We ought to learn to disobey our internal disordered reflexes, compulsions and addictions. And as a Christian we don't have the obedience of a slave but of a king, freely, with the goal of learning how to love." — Apr 08, 2025 05:17AM

"Interesting start of the book, the way how he describes his childhood experience of Tibetan Buddhism has striking similarities to how some Christians are raised with an image of the God of severity and punishment instead of the God of mercy and charity, an image of a God who just waits for his creation to make mistakes so that he can punish it instead of God who is love, a love that gives itself for the others." — Apr 02, 2025 01:36AM
