More From Bear Grylls

Christians have always tended to transform the christian revelation into a christian religion. christianity is said to be a religion like any other or, conversely, some christians try to show that it is a better religion than the others. people attempt to take possession of god. theology claims to explain everything, including the being of god. people tend to transform christianity into a religion because the christian faith obviously places people in an extremely uncomfortable position ­ that of freedom guided only by love and all in the context of god's radical demand that we be holy.

Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
Happiness is a state of non-contradictory joy--a joy without penalty or guilt, a joy that does not clash with any of your values and does not work for your own destruction, not the joy of escaping from your mind, but of using your mind's fullest power, not the joy of faking reality, but of achieving values that are real, not the joy of a drunkard, but of a producer.
Happiness Real Escaping
Faith is a belief in the unknown. faith heals, faith creates, faith works wonders, faith moves mountains. faith is the searchlight for god-finding.
Faith Moving Mountain
When we speak of faith—the faith that can move mountains—we are not speaking of faith in general but of faith in the lord jesus christ. faith in the lord jesus christ can be bolstered as we learn about him and live our religion. the doctrine of jesus christ was designed by the lord to help us increase our faith.
Jesus Moving Mountain
A faith in culture is as bad as a faith in religion; both expressions imply a turning away from those very things which culture and religion are about. culture as a collective name for certain very valuable activities is a permissible word; but culture hypostatized, set up on its own, made into a faith, a cause, a banner, a platform, is unendurable. for none of the activities in question cares a straw for that faith or cause. it is like a return to early semitic religion where names themselves were regarded as powers.

Despair was a heavy blackness that let no light in or out. it was a hell beyond expression. i thank god it always passed.

. . . action always happens in the present, because it is an expression of the body, which can only exist in the here and now. but the mind is like a phantom that lives only in the past or future. it's only power over you is to draw your attention our of the present.
Past Expression Over You
If i am ever obscure in my expressions, do not fancy that therefore i am deep. if i were really deep, all the world would understand, though they might not appreciate. the perfectly popular style is the perfectly scientific one. to me an obscurity is a reason for suspecting a fallacy.
