THE POWER TO DECIDE

It seems crystal clear, both from the Word and from experience, that the true contest of the heart is whether we will choose to engage in the realm of faith according to the walk of the Pharisees or of Jesus.

One runs narrow-closed while the other runs wide-open.

Shall we own a religion which leads to protective rules or a faith which thrusts us toward valuable sinners?

We choose day by day whether we will stand on the sidelines and shout, Change your ways! or wade into the midst of the suffering and confused and offer them our helping hand.

We have the power to decide.  Come on.  The aching world is waiting.
