Mind you, I know that it would be a result of my own sin and going away from Him, but it is something that I fear(in a good sense). Hence, it leads me to pray that God would keep me(as He does) and keep my heart tender and soft. I agree, we must be aware of our own sinful tendencies and when we are not, ask the Lord to always stay close revealing to us our sin(as our hearts are deceitful and desperately wicked). In a day when we are always being told that we are being too hard on ourselves, I find it refreshing and encouraging to know that their are still men and women who tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love against the backdrop of our sin and depravity. Is that not why He came? Who needs a Saviour when He thinks He's not that bad? Thanks, Courtney! May your tribe increase! ...and yes, I agree, let's not abandon our OT, as some have in evangelicalism. God's Word is eternal and all of it is "for our learning and instruction that we would not crave evil things". Keep on in the battle!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
