“The exodus story was the great old covenant good news story, just as for the Christian the greater story of Jesus's coming, cross, and overcoming death is the new covenant good news story, the gospel.”
Graham Cole, Glorification
Dane Ortlund: We don’t need the Spirit to obey God; we do need the Spirit to *enjoy* obeying God. And that’s the only kind of real obedience anyway…
So we can stiff arm God by breaking all the rules, or we can stiff-arm God by keeping all his rules but doing so begrudgingly.
Important reminder from @RebeccMcLaugh concerning the Sunday worship gathering:
.
1. An alone person in our gathering is an emergency
.
2. Friends can wait
.
3. Introduce a newcomer to someone else
.
Let's show the hospitality of Christ today.
Heard this connection from JD Greear at RightNow Media’s #MarriageNight2021 last night:
Both manna and mercy are new every morning. Both are sufficient for the day.
