HEARING FOR OURSELVES

 

Books have their place, 

but the ability to hear the Holy Spirit

and be taught by Him

is a great gift and privilege

our Father has given to each of us. 

It makes our walk with Christ

more alive, exciting

and fruitful. 

Sometimes we need to

put down the books.

OFF THE ROPE

Had enough of the tightrope of legalism?

The Law is meant to expose sin (Romans 7:7)

and (by our fleshly striving to keep it)

increases its stronghold on us. (Romans 5:20)

Enter GRACE.

Fall into the net.

Rest in the finished work of Christ.

FREE INDEED

As we grow in grace and knowledge

of the wonderful love of Christ,

the more freedom we experience

 His love is the most powerful

force in the universe.

And it is what everyone is seeking.

I JUST DANCE

I stopped trying to get the Lord

to love and accept me

because, you see...

I found out 

He already does.

Now I just dance.

 

CONCEDE

Come to the end of your strength?

You are in a good place.

The weaker you are,

the stronger Christ is able 

to show Himself through you.

Give up trying to deliver yourself,

surrender the struggle,

and let Christ take over.

Freedom awaits.

(2 Corinthians 12:9-10)

 

FROM THE INSIDE OUT

As we feed on the wonderful truths 

of what Christ has done for us,

we are transformed

FROM THE INSIDE OUT,

with new freedom

that comes from new desires.

The world has nothing to offer

that can compare with this reality.

Believers, draw all your life

from Christ. 

THE RIGHT TRACK

Focusing on Christ

and His redemptive work on our behalf

PRODUCES obedience and trust, 

which is a FRUIT of the Gospel.

Focusing on obedience, however,

is self-focus,

and results in 

self-righteousness,

hypocrisy 

and judgmentalism.

That is the same track the Pharisees were on.
