Life
Stifle

Jesus came that we should have life and have it more abundantly. I think it was St Irenaeus who said one time that the glory of God is man fully alive.
Someone asked Flannery O'Connor, on one of her campus lecture tours, 'Do you feel that Universities stifle writers?' She replied, 'I feel they don't stifle enough writers'.
There is a similar story in which the question is asked, 'Do the theological seminaries stifle preachers?' And the answer is 'Seminaries don't stifle enough preachers!'
There are too many lifeless writers, there are too many lifeless preachers, there are too many lifeless business people, there are too many lifeless teachers, there are too many lifeless parents. God loves us so much that when he calls us into life in his great goodness he gives us two births. A birth that brings us into this world and then a birth that brings us into life. 'I came that you should have life and have it more abundantly.'
