1. The following is an excerpt from “The Christian Life: Cross or Glory” written by Steven A. Hein (1517 Publishing, 2015).
  2. Using common everyday events, Carnell sought to clarify that there are three standards of duty that we demand others to respect to protect our dignity.
  3. The first course is always humble pie because, at the table, there are just two seats: from humiliation to exaltation.
  4. The cross presents us a radically different standard. In God’s justice executed in the cross of Christ, nobody gets what they deserve.
  5. Proper preaching of good works is never for our encouragement.
