I always like his entries in Our Daily Bread. Pity I missed his talk when he came to Singapore but a friend gave me his book “Radical Reliance”. Have you read it?

I have always found this bit he wrote in very insightful: that God gave us gifts that enable us to be fruitful in our ministry and yet it is these very gifts that threaten our SENSE of need for Him. And though we may be close to Him, we have not really cultivated the sense of, what he calls, “adoring dependency” on Him. It’s something I never really considered until I read that.
