In Progress...

We've become acclimated to a condition we should never have gotten used to: a stagnant pool of religious forms and sentimentality along with buckets full of cultural legalism. Inoculated with enough "god-speak" to immunize our consciences, we can't hear the thunderous river of God's grace roaring invitingly in the Bibles we read and the hymns we sing -- a grace that beckons us to enter, be washed, adn set freel. Let's face it, apart from God's Spirit mightily at work in our hearts, we're morons!
Either out of ignorace or unbelief or quiete possibly both, we simply have precious little firsthand experience with the magnitude of our Father's love for his people. And some of us are simpl y not concerned about the whole matter because we've been seduced and dulled by affairs of the heart.
But lacking awareness of our need does not diminish it's intensity. We desperately need to have the eyes of our hearts opened to the magnitude of God's love reveled in Jesus Christ.
