Righteousness (160)
  1. Sit still; this won’t hurt... much. Gillespie and Riley continue to read and discuss Martin Luther’s Galatians commentary. This episode, active and passive righteousness.
  2. Christianity is about forgiveness for the sake of Christ. Yet often, we who have been forgiven much are sitting around expecting much from others.
  3. Righteousness by yourself is not just hard, it is impossible. It does not come about by your purity, your activity, or your loyalty. It comes through one thing: faith.
  4. This article is the second installment in an eight-part series inspired by the Lenten themes of catechesis, prayer, and repentance found in the Lord’s Prayer as Luther taught it in his Small Catechism.
  5. Should we have more victories over our sin? Probably. But can we be honest and admit that we don't have as many as we'd like?
  6. A truly Christian work is it that we descend and get mixed up in the mire of the sinner as deeply as he sticks there himself.
  7. Jesus Christ has finished his work of delivering you from the consequences of your sins and the brokenness of this fallen world.
  8. What is supposed to be given by Christ through us for neighbor is used up by us, twisted for our righteous gain.
  9. All God's fatherly goodness and mercy is concrete and real, born of a virgin, crucified for our trespasses, raised for our justification.
  10. Our righteousness and the righteousness of our neighbor have nothing to do with what we eat or do not eat.
  11. Naturally each individual forgets the beam in his own eye and perceives only the mote in his neighbor’s. One will not bear with the faults of the other; each requires perfection of his fellow.
  12. My earliest memory of seeing a cartoonist drawing of Adam and Eve was in the waiting room at the pediatrician’s office. I probably had the flu. Sitting with my mom- I was waiting for the nurse to come and call our name. Also, I was hoping that I wouldn’t get a shot.
