Sinner and Saint (Simul) (18)
  1. Without the “simul” distinction, theology lapses into moralism.
  2. If we get past Sunday School moralizing what do we discover in the Old Testament?
  3. Whenever I read the Genesis account of Abraham, I’m more impressed that he’s often a clumsy, mess of a man than that it’s “faith that’s accounted to him as righteousness.”
  4. No matter how great our efforts or how righteous our intent, we will go from troubled to scared, and scared to terrified, unless we are sprinkled with the blood of the Lamb.
  5. God goes to work on us through His Word like a woodcarver chisels a block of wood.
  6. We can leave all the stuff of life behind, because our great treasure God flaunts before the world on Calvary.
