Resurrection Living - All From God

Once we get this through our heads and assimilated into our imaginations, we are out of the driver's seat forever. The practice of the resurrection is not a do-it-yourself     self-help project. It is God's project and he is engaged full-time in carrying it out.

This rescues us from small-mindedness, from thinking too small about our lives. This salvation-resurrection world is large. Anything we can come up with for ourselves in terms of goal or purpose is puny alongside of what is already in motion in the cosmos "to the praise of his glory."
