“You’re a shinning star. You’re a picture of divine wonder. You make God smile and you make heaven dance. When you breathe God holds his breath, overwhelmed by his love for you. Every breath of yours reminders God of the unfailing love he has for you. Relax, smile; take a deep breathe and let God rejoice over you.”
The Good News We Now Participate In
(Below is a paraphrase of Colossians 1:3-9. Taken from my book ‘The Gospel Cannot Be Chained‘)
I must say, it truly is a joy to hear of your faith, and how God is working powerfully within your community. A faith that has arisen through your understanding of God’s love for you and the acceptance of your glorious inheritance, stored up for you in heaven. Oh, how ‘good’ the ‘news’ truly is. God has established a covenant for us based on his nature, his love, and his divine grace.
Seeing Ourselves In The Mirror Of Christ’s Perfection
(Below is a paraphrase of Philippians 3:4-14. Taken from my book ‘The Gospel Cannot Be Chained‘)
The reason I passionately place my full confidence in the reality of ‘Christ in me’ is not because I have nothing I could boast about in regards to my own works. On the contrary, I could boast more than any man about my religious accomplishments in the flesh. In fact, according to a life devoted to God through religious acts, I was practically perfect.
