Prayer @ It Might be Hope
a deeply convicting, transformative post. Much here to revisit and chew on.
“… when the gospel is deeply grasped, our need to win arguments is removed, and our language becomes gracious. We don’t have to ridicule our opponents, but instead we can engage them respectfully. People who live in the moral-performance narrative use sarcastic, self-righteous putdown humor, or have no sense of humor at all. Lewis speaks of “the unsmiling concentration upon Self, which is the mark of hell.” The gospel, however, creates a gentle sense of irony. We find a lot to laugh at, starting with our own weaknesses. They don’t threaten us anymore because our ultimate worth is not based on our record or performance.” A piece I’ve been mulling and pondering all week…

I hope you’ll get out for a walk through our Father’s world this weekend.
Quiet blessings of peace on you and yours this weekend…
All’s grace,
