GRACE AMONG US
GRACE.
WHAT IS GRACE?PRAYER AT A MEAL? THE WAY A DANCER MOVES?
OUR CULTURE HAS A MESSED UP VIEW OF GRACE.
SQUISHY GRACE.
WEAK GRACE.
CHEAP GRACE.
POP CHRISTIANITY.
PC CHRISTIANITY.
OPRAH CHRISTIANITY.
SMORGASBORD CHRISTIANITY.
JEFFERSON CHRISTIANITY.
COMMON THEME: LOW VIEW OF CHRIST AND HIGH VIEW OF SELF.
IN FACT THE ULTIMATE AUTHORITY IS SELF.
VOLTAIRE SAID: “In the beginning God created man in His own image, and man has been trying to repay the favor ever since.”
WE DOMESTICATE JESUS INTO A "REALLY GREAT GUY" WHO WOULD NEVER HURT OUR FEELINGS OR MAKE US UNCOMFORTABLE.
THOSE THINGS ARE LATER ADDITIONS BY THE CHURCH.
THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE! JESUS SAID IT CLEARLY AND IT IS OFTEN THE CHURCH THAT HAS TRIED TO EXPLAIN IT AWAY.
ELDGREDGE: THE SPIRIT OF OUR DAY IS A SOFT ACCEPTANCE OF EVERYTHING -- EXCEPT DEEP CONVICTION IN ANYTHING.
JESUS DON'T PLAY.
HONESTY: SPEAKING THE TRUTH IN LOVE
JESUS WAS HONEST.
ALWAYS LOVING AND ALWAYS HONEST.
LET'S BEGIN WITH A CLANDESTINE MEETING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.
MOST PEOPLE GO THRU THEIR ENTIRE LIVES WITHOUT ANYONE EVER SPEAKING HONEST, LOVING AND DIRECT WORDS TO THE MOST DAMAGING ISSUES OF THEIR LIVES.
HOW OFTEN DO YOU?
WE CHOOSE NOT TO SEE IT.
WE CHOOSE NOT TO GET INVOLVED BECAUSE WE DON'T WANT TO RISK THE TENSION, BACKLASH OR REJECTION.
SOMETIMES WE TRY TO USE JESUS' OWN WORDS TO JUSTIFY OUR INACTION.
THIS IS A REALITY NOT A LAW! DESCRIPTIVE NOT PRESCRIPTIVE.
CONTEXT: HOW ARE WE TO LIVE IN THE KINGDOM?
HOW DO WE TRULY HELP OURSELVES AND OTHERS.
WE ARE NOT RULED BY ANGER, GREED OR LUST.
WE SEEK GOD'S APPROVAL NOT MAN'S.
THE LOG IS CONDEMNATION.
JESUS ISN’T DONE SAYING HARD THINGS.
HONEST.
HARD.
TRUTH.
GRACE.
LOVE.
NOT POPULAR.
NOT PC.
EXCLUSIVE.
