Got this from our pastors blog.
"We must reject a view of the Christian life that
emphasizes what we should do more than what God is doing in us by his Spirit.
"We should reject any view of the Christian life that
says the change God calls us to is impossible, or only takes place in eternity.
"We should reject any perspective on the Christian life that
minimizes the war that rages in our hearts every day--
or ignores the fact that God is fighting it for us and with us!
"The biblical picture is that God meets us in the trials of life,
and he doesn't just give us rules--he gives us his Son!
"Because of him, what we are called to do is not unrealistic."
~ Timothy S. Lane & Paul David Tripp in How People Change
