7. JOHN 10:1-2 I tell you the truth, anyone who sneaks over the wall of a sheepfold, rather than going through the gate, must surely be a thief and a robber! But the one who enters through the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.

8. JOHN 10:3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

9. JOHN 10:4-5 After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice. They won’t follow a stranger; they will run from him because they don’t know his voice.

10. JOHN 10:6-7 Those who heard Jesus use this illustration didn’t understand what he meant, so he explained it to them: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep

11. JOHN 10:8-9 All who came before me were thieves and robbers. But the true sheep did not listen to them. Yes, I am the gate. Those who come in through me will be saved. They will come and go freely and will find good pastures.

12. JOHN 10:10 The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life.

15. JOHN 10:10 My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. (NLT) I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of. (MSG) I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (NIV)

18. JOHN 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

24. What are you pouring in to fuel your life?

26. JOHN 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

30. BRAD PITT I know all these things are supposed to seem important… but if that’s the case, why is the general feeling… reflecting more impotence & isolation & desperation & loneliness? If you ask me, I say toss all this – we gotta find something else. Because all I know is that at this point in time, we are heading for a dead end, a numbing of the soul, a complete atrophy of the spiritual being. And I don’t want that.

31. BRAD PITT I don’t have those answers yet. The emphasis now is on success and personal gain. I’m sitting in it, and I’m telling you, that’s not it. I’m the guy who’s got everything. I know. But I’m telling you, once you’ve got everything, then you’re just left with yourself. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it doesn’t help you sleep any better, and you don’t wake up any better because of it.

32. expressive individualism

33. Anything which restrains the expression of the self within us is to be rejected as parental abuse, psychological repression, or cultural imperialism.

36. JOHN 10:3-4 The shepherd walks right up to the gate. The gatekeeper opens the gate to him and the sheep recognize his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he gets them all out, he leads them and they follow because they are familiar with his voice. They won’t follow a stranger’s voice but will scatter because they aren’t used to the sound of it.

48. 1 PETER 3:15-16 Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
