Sanctification (166)
  1. How did you become a Christian? This question is frequently asked in many Christian circles. Ask it and you will get one of a thousand different answers, but each will probably start with the same pronoun.
  2. Those clinging to God in Christ can be assured that it’s all clean.
  3. The goal of Christian living isn't to gather in and store up two, three, four barn-fulls of good works for ourselves.
  4. Every Christian face-plants. It doesn’t matter how long we’ve been saved by grace, we still face-plant.
  5. Likewise, when God says, "Do this and you will live," we go about under the illusion that we have the ability to accomplish what God demands of us.
  6. I'm always surprised to hear people say, “If I could do it all again, I wouldn’t change a thing.” But we’re all sinners and we all sin every day.
  7. You can talk to me about how Jesus is really forgiving and how you want me around, but what happens when things don’t change in a month?
  8. In the twinkling of that eye the perishable will become imperishable, and our bodies will be changed and become more glorious than we ever could have imagined.
  9. But when God's Word of Law and Gospel are tuned up, when they're properly distinguished, then Jesus' words rain down on us like thunderbolts.
  10. Among the things that perturb me about modern Christianity is our residual clinging to a sort of “Christian-karma.”
  11. The truth is, a Christian's holiness is hidden outside himself in Christ through faith.
  12. Are our resolutions righteous? Is our commitment to self-improvement a selfless act motivated by love for the neighbor?
