Without Fear I Can Acknowledge That The

The Sorrow Of God Lies In Our Fear Of Him, Our Fear Of Life, And Our Fear Of Ourselves. He Anguishes Over Our Self-absorption And Self-sufficiency... God's Sorrow Lies In Our Refusal To Approach Him When We Sinned And Failed.

Our Huffing And Puffing To Impress God, Our Scrambling For Brownie Points, Our Thrashing About Trying To Fix Ourselves While Hiding Our Pettiness And Wallowing In Guilt Are Nauseating To God And Are A Flat Denial Of The Gospel Of Grace.

The Gospel Declares That No Matter How Dutiful Or Prayerful We Are, We Can't Save Ourselves. What Jesus Did Was Sufficient.

It Is For The Inconsistent, Unsteady Disciples Whose Cheese Is Falling Off Their Cracker.

In Love's Service, Only Wounded Soldiers Can Serve.
