“It really is possible to live in a state of Advent schizophrenia, where you celebrate the birth of the Messiah while actively denying your need for His birth, life, death, and resurrection!”

“Lord, I praise You that You have broken into my life and brought me up short and opened my eyes and ignited love in my heart for Your name!” @timkellernyc
Christ came to destroy our self-oriented kingdoms and dethrone us as kings over our own lives. In violent grace He works to destroy every last shred of our allegiance to self-rule, and in rescuing grace He lovingly sets up His righteous rule in our hearts!
“Proclaiming and sharing the gospel isn’t just the transfer of information but rather the proclaiming and sharing of our adoration of our sent and risen Savior!”
