@DrJordanBCooper@ScottAniol We were called to penitence without wallowing in our shame & exhorted to look to Christ’s work alone. It was literally stated that lent observances could be good & helpful but were by no means a form of merit. It was a call to repentance and a heralding of the gospel. Beautiful!
@DrJordanBCooper Had an Ash Wednesday service last night that was incredibly edifying and the antithesis to what @ScottAniol described in his objection. (1/2)
Imagine a bottle of medicine sitting on the pulpit that could cure the condition of the congregation. Does your pastor spend more time reviewing the ingredients, directions, and side effects or dispensing the cure? Is the cure even administered?

We must hear the law preached so sharply that Paul would describe its effect as crushing or killing. We need to hear a gospel so filled with grace that the apostle would have to answer forthcoming objections against such freedom and forgiveness. https://t.co/zU8lUgCiey
I want to hear a gospel so filled with grace and mercy that the apostle Paul would have to answer forthcoming objections against such freedom and forgiveness.
We're living in an age where blurring reality and absurdity is eroding societal sanity and stability. How long until we reach a tipping point? Like Wile E. Coyote, we can only go so far off the cliff before the gravity of our situation hits.
