Tami, you are TOO clever :O)\nThanks for sharing, I thought it was awesome!\nSo hard to fight the urge to defend myself, but your story sounded so familiar when you said you defend yourself and it tends to get you into hot water . . . ah the challenges!\nXoXo

“Instead of holding up right and wrong as proof of our own justification, we ought to be using Love as a canvas and grace as our medium, that the world might see the beauty of Jesus.”

Beautifully stated. Thank you.

Thanks, Shane. I’m glad it was an encouragement to you. We all wrestle with the flesh – won’t it be fantastic when we don’t have to worry about that anymore? Wow.

Great post Tami, definitely stuff that I need to remember. The part about the desire to defend ourselves is both convicting and encouraging.

Awesome, Leah! God certainly has a way of taking our every paradigm and turning it on its head, hasn’t he? Love that.

The bible is the true measure of truth, though our own opinions and traditions do stealthily vie for that position.

Tami,
You are so right about contending for the gospel! I have never really thought about it that way but now it really has changed the way I am looking at things. Thank you
