Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern
Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885
I fear that many people seek to hear God solely as a device for securing their own safety, comfort and righteousness. For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it."

... Dallas Willard, Hearing God [1999], p. 28
