When everything goes wrong, our instinct is to blame others. But what if the real issue isn’t out there - it’s where we place our trust? My latest👇

two opposite errors found today.

Error #1: Legalism

"I obey so that God will accept me."

The focus is on the rule.

The heart may never change.

Outward obedience becomes the goal.

Error #2: Antinomianism

"I love God, therefore rules don't matter."

The focus is on a profession of love.

But there's little evidence that the life is actually changing.

Because I love God, the commandments become the natural expression of what my heart is becoming.

Perhaps the most powerful preaching of the gospel isn't found in a pulpit or in endless debates and arguments, but in the example someone sets through their everyday life.

@BrysonGray It's amazing how quickly you start to lose that edge.

@musings_blonde It does seem surprisingly uncommon for people to realize that not everyone experiences life the way they do.

Interesting observation:

Well before Sinai, Abel is already a keeper of sheep.

Long before the sacrificial system is established scripturally, the narrative is already drawing attention to it.

Sometimes the Bible introduces patterns long before it explains them.

"I will give you a new heart... I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes..."

@JohnHun99320672 If the standard is that perfect compliance is impossible, then I guess we should get rid of speed limits too.

Had an amazing Sabbath! God is good!

@xBalaamsAssx Not to mention grandparents overstepping boundaries. It's a common issue, but as you said, it's also a good learning experience for your daughter.

I figure the text isn't trying to prove Sabbath observance, so Luke doesn't stop to argue for it. No need to prove what's been established. He just states it as a fact - it was Paul's custom. And his purpose? Acts 17:2-3 says he used those Sabbath gatherings to reason from the Scriptures and show that Jesus was the Messiah.

@BrysonGray Interesting coincidence that Abel is described as being a keeper of sheep specifically, not just any livestock, like say pigs.

@YahwehGraced If Danny only understood that "your own righteousness" is living according to your own ways, while accepting "Christ's righteousness" means learning to walk in obedience as Christ walked.

He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked." — 1 John 2:6

@DrShayPhD I'm not sure you can reason someone out of an emotionally held belief.
