Without Exposure To Potential Failure, There Is

I Knew There Was Only One Place To Go. I Sank Down Into The Center Of My Soul, Grew Still, And Listened To The Rabbi's Heartbeat.

Jesus Was Victorious Not Because He Never Flinched, Talked Back, Or Questioned, But Having Flinched, Talked Back, And Questioned, He Remained Faithful.

Grace Is Sufficient Even Though We Huff And Puff With All Our Might To Try And Find Something Or Someone That It Cannot Cover. Grace Is Enough...

The Saved Sinner Is Prostrate In Adoration, Lost In Wonder And Praise. He Knows Repentance Is Not What We Do In Order To Earn Forgiveness; It Is What We Do Because We Have Been Forgiven. It Serves As An Expression Of Gratitude Rather Than An Effort To Earn Forgiveness. Thus The Sequence Of Forgiveness And Then Repentance, Rather Than Repentance And Then Forgiveness, Is Crucial For Understanding The Gospel Of Grace.

Sheer Scholarship Alone Cannot Reveal To Us The Gospel Of Grace. We Must Never Allow The Authority Of Books, Institutions, Or Leaders To Replace The Authority Of Knowing Jesus Christ Personally And Directly. When The Religious Views Of Others Interpose Between Us And The Primary Experience Of Jesus As The Christ, We Become Unconvicted And Unpersuasive Travel Agents Handing Out Brochures To Places We Have Never Visited.
