Ok, I only have time to give you some of my favorite Tripp quotes...I should already be in bed, but, since I am a Paul Tripp * insert term for Christian Groupie here*
"A desire for even a good thing becomes a bad thing when that desire becomes a ruling thing."
"A desire is not a bad thing, but it makes a bad god."
"The pleasures of creation have a very short shelf-life."
"Spirtual Warfare - is a war for the rulership of your heart, because what rules your heart excercises inescapable influence over your life and your behavior. It's a war between my plan and God's plan, my wants and God's wants, my kingdom and God's kingdom."
"Are you living in pursuit of the Creator or the creation?"
"If you're helping me get what i want, oooohhh you are an object of my love! BUT, if you've getting in the way of what I want you are just an object in my way!"
"Horizontal conflict, always has as its root, a vertical problem."
James 4:1-10
And then, after ALL that, the famous Trippin' closure...
"There is grace, there is grace, there is grace....Praise Him"
A good counselor always gives hope, so they tell me...

MAN!!!! Did I ever need to read that!!!!
Thank you SO much for sharing!!!! Just what I needed, right when I needed it!!!
I LOVE that you shared from the conference so I could have a taste all the way in AZ!
I think the "chasing creation or Creator" quote is one of my favorites. I've heard that before (it might even be in my old conference notes!), but I needed the reminder.
Wonderful.
