What is the difference between someone who willfully ignores the Bible on moral purity and someone who willfully ignores the Bible on caring for the poor? The difference is that one involves a social taboo in the church and one involves a social norm in the church.
~ David Platt, Radical (p. 111)
"It is not enough if the knowledge of Christ dwell on the tongue or flutter in the brain" ~ John Calvin ... Flutter in the brain. I think that's exactly what most of my ideas do before they disappear. But there are some that I don't want to lose; this blog is a both means to remind myself of the gospel and a challenge to make it more than a thought in my day.
