It's been a while since I posted anything here. Not that I have stopped learning, but I learnt that I don't have much time to post!
Anyway, I thought this was an interesting quote. My senior pastor made this quote, and preached about our obedience and its essence in the salvation that we believe to be part in.
My initial thought, was why obedience and not something else? Can a better word be used?
How about this instead:
"Salvation is a mysterious combination of God's grace and our response in faith"
Faith, without faith, it's impossible to please God, quoting Hebrews. Faith requires deeds or its dead, quoting James. Faith is a requirement for 'moving mountains', quoting Jesus.
"I desire mercy, more than sacrifice..."
Will our community learn that it takes greater effort to "be" than to "do", and inspiration for something greater is required to build a more equipped and better generation?
Do we want to raise leaders who simply obey, or courageous leaders who can go beyond the measures we've placed in ourselves because of fears?
Just some thoughts... :)
