…God did not give us a spirit of cowardice, but rather a spirit of power and of love and of self-discipline.

…if we’re co-conspirators with the Spirit of God to bring blessing to our world, sooner or later it’s going to cost us something and get us into trouble. (Brian McLaren, We Make the Road by Walking, Ch 48)
