Sin & The Cross
When sin is ignored, minimized, or redefined we no longer live aware of our desperate need for Jesus Christ nor appreciative of what He accomplished on the cross for us.
— Anthony Hoekema (quoted in our Small Group material from 3/8/09)
Read Death by Love!
I really enjoyed Mark Driscoll’s latest book Death by Love. In this book, Driscoll writes a series of letters to encourage people in his church who are facing various questions about whether or not the Gospel can give them hope. In the midst of these letters, what emerges is a love and passion for the Gospel — specifically Jesus’ work on the cross and how that can enable someone to face life head on and have hope in the midst of what would otherwise be hopeless scenarios. I was drawn into each chapter and there, like a jewel shining on the floor of the ocean, were great Gospel truths to dive deep into. I would encourage you to read these, for it will help you make Gospel connections to life.
