- "Renouncing 'Sufficiency'," Alan Brehm, The Waking Dreamer, 2009.
- "It takes a significant dose of humility align our lives with God's kingdom. ... I think part of what Jesus is talking about is being willing to renounce the illusion of self-sufficiency. I think it is very similar to the perspective of the Psalmist about the 'humble' who recognize their need for God versus the 'proud' who think they can take care of themselves, thank you very much."
