“Apperance gave no clue to our identity, and neither did our behavior.”
“Our identity is not in our joy, and our identity is not in our suffering. Our identity is in Christ, whether we have joy or are suffering.”
“Here is the major life question: Does our experience create our identity ... or does our identity create our experience?”
“We do not behave out of our identity, we behave out of our understanding of our identity in Christ.”
“Our vocation is not simply to be, but to work together with God in the creation of our own life, our own identity, our own destiny....To work out our identity in God.”
“Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions.”
