- sometimes, need to perceive things on inside, not outside
- use things and love people, not the other way round - perceive things differently as a Christian
- where our focus is, our faith will be
- Jesus' "I am the way" statement very exclusive - not very politically correct in modern times
- don't fix focus on own inabilities or excuses (your 'jar of clay')
- don't think about who you are, think about who God is & what He can do: 'I can't, God can'
