Subject: THE CROSS |
Bible Note: Joe, While walking my dog Flinky last night I thought on this. I'm absolutely in agreement: True salvation is a heart thing and must produce a holy life. I misunderstood your position. My wife suggests that doctrinal disputes are human nature wanting to have everything nailed down instead of trusting. I think a general fix for doctrinal naval-gazing is to get busy for the Lord with solid, Cross-focused witnessing: sin, hell, God's love, redemption--the whole, incomprehensible shebang. Seeing the Holy Spirit work repentance in a person is more interesting than doctrinal argumentation. Thanks very much for your clear reply. Colin. |
