Legalism and progressivism

RNDL

  1. What is legalism but trust in one's own powers to be what God approves? And what is progressivism but arrogance to imagine that God approves of one's own ideas?

  2. The rhyming pair love/above can be used in a poem only so many times before it grows old. It grew old centuries ago. I'm a latecomer, but even I feel that.

  3. Read this prayer. And say amen. And let the Lord work in your life to bring it about.

  4. When people feel free to confess weakness and ask for prayer, much progress can be made, both individually and as the body of Christ.

  5. Growth and strength come slowly, most of the time. Leave off your good habits, however, and see how quickly they wane.

  6. An original verse: The universe has limits but not its Creator; / Creation or the Maker, which is greater?

  7. A Bible verse: "No one has ever seen God. The only one, himself God, who is in closest fellowship with the Father, has made God known" Jn 1.18.
