“The critical issue today is dullness. We have lost our astonishment….Dullness is the absence of the light of our souls. Look around. We have los the sparkle in our eyes, the passion in our marriages, the meaning in our work, the joy of our faith…Jesus Christ came to rescue us from listlessness as well as lostness; He came to save us from flat souls as well as corrupted souls. He came to save us from dullness…
“Somewhere along the way we had the child chased out of us. Our childlikeness is usually snuffed out by people who tell us what we can’t do. They are dream stealers….Christ is the Dream Giver who wants us to listen to His dream for us so we can run like children in the fields of His grace…
“We have lost the gleam in our eye. Jesus no longer chases us in the ragged terrain of our souls. We have forgotten what it is like to stand speechless in the presence of Jesus, hearts beating wildly, staggered and stunned by what God is doing in our world…”
