Eccentric… a word from Saturday’s teaching on grace…
She made one brief point… but the word… it echoes…
… the center of the secular worldview is self: What will I get out of this? Who will meet my needs? I’m doing my own thing. …
…Satan is called the prince of this world because self-interest rules the world. …
…Such is Satan’s creed, and unfortunately the lives of all too many people validate his claims. Satan has deceived them into thinking they are serving themselves when in fact they are serving the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Unfortunately… many Believers are eccentric… living lives much like those of unbelievers… self-centered… leading to anxiety… depression… angst… worthlessness…
Keeping center… embracing His death… as ours… forms the foothold… of grace… a foundation of peace…
No need to fret over behavior… ours… or others… He has paid the price… He receives the glory… we receive His grace… by faith…
To lose one’s life for His sake… seems like foolish eccentricity to the world… but for us who believe… it is the power of grace… and peace…
