went on chandler walk in the sunshine today. he was talking about the games we play to avoid repenting when God convicts us of sin. i'm not going to do an in-depth reveiw of the whole sermon. you can listen to it here. but his closing words really stuck with me, to the point that i went back, paused it and wrote them down. and i thought i'd share them with you this evening.
"All his commands are leading us to life and not begrudging submission to his power simply because he could command what he wanted to command...He is not trying to take anything from you but what would eventually destroy you. Even if that feels like it's impossibly woven into who you are as a person."
and that leads me into some shameless free advertising for Chandler on the coast, which you should all be at on wed 26th of August.
thats really all for now...just a bit of a chandler plug. :D

ReplyDeletewhen it comes to giving things up due to how sinful/inappropriate/unhelpful they are i always forget that if im needing to give it up for christ's sake, the thing im giving up isn't a good thing.sounds simple, but i always feel like im giving up good things...not so true.
ReplyDeleteThank God for his ability and willingness to give and take away!
