A.W. Tozer emphasizes the importance of living in joy and peace, warning against the dangers of becoming overly serious or scrupulous in our faith. He points out that gloominess is not a sign of godliness but rather a defect of character, and that joy serves as a therapeutic remedy for the mind. Tozer cautions that excessive concern for pleasing God can lead to a constricted life filled with distress, which is not a true reflection of faith. He encourages believers to embrace joy and balance in their spiritual journey, recognizing that a healthy conscience should not lead to self-torture.

K.P. Yohannan emphasizes the necessity of balance in our lives, likening it to a tightrope walk where one must maintain equilibrium to avoid falling. He explains that both Christians and non-Christians need to cultivate balance in their thoughts and actions, which can be found in the Word of God. Yohannan warns against the dangers of extremism in faith, illustrating how movements can lose their passion and purpose when they stray from balance. He uses biblical examples to show that truth often has two sides, and that understanding both is crucial for a healthy spiritual life. Ultimately, he calls for a continual commitment to living a balanced life that honors God without falling into extremes.
