Quote

Church of Jesus, let us please be men and women who understand the difference between moralism and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Let’s be careful to preach the dos and don’ts of Scripture in the shadow of the cross’s ‘Done!’

You and I are stymied in our own creativity. We can only create as sub-creators, and even then our best work is only sub-creation.

Truth is to be used as a scalpel, not a club.

Some people are so moral they feel like they have no need for Jesus.

The spiritual power in the gospel is denied when we augment or adjusting gospel into no gospel at all. When we doubt the message alone is the power of God for salvation we start adding or subtracting, trusting our own powers of persuasion or presentation.

A Church worshipping as a Creature of the Word doesn't show up to perform or be entertained she comes desperate and needy, thirsty for grace, receiving from The Lord and the body of Christ, and then gratefully receiving what she needs as she offers her praise- the only proper response to the God who saves us.

I believe the sovereign God of the universe justifies us freely, and then we are called to run with him in sanctification.
