Today will be a little shorter as I have a heavy travel day before church tonight.
“Moral Therapeutic Deism” is what this chapter reminds me of. Instead of understanding a ruined soul in desperate need of being transformed through the power of Christ, we’ve reduced Christianity to everybody just be a little more nice. A little more moral, a little therapy, and a little “g” god.
As the book says in the first paragraph of page 44: “Without the realization of our utter ruin,and without the genuine revising and redirecting of our lives that this bitter realization naturally gives rise to, no clear path to inner transformation can be found. We will steadfastly remain in the throne of our universe, trying to use a little God here and there.”
Isaiah 6:1-8 is that great moment of realization. Not for the sake of leaving us undone, but ready to see that there is something to be done. I pray your ready to dive in to that great work of God!!
