Subject: Superficial Healing |
Bible Note: "As I look across the Christian landscape, I think it is fair to say concerning sin, ‘They have healed the wound of my people lightly’ (Jeremiah 6:14; 8:11). I take this to refer to leaders who should be helping the church know and feel the seriousness of indwelling sin (Romans 7:20), and how to fight it and kill it (Romans 8:13). Instead the depth and complexity and ugliness and danger of sin in professing Christians is either minimized -- since we are already justified -- or psychologized as a symptom of woundedness rather than corruption. This is a tragically light healing. I call it a tragedy because by making life easier for ourselves in minimizing the nature and seriousness of our sin, we become greater victims of it." --John Piper |
