I love how thoughtful the counter-reformists are concerning the things they talk about, especially around points 15-17. I feel that being careful with truth is something that we modern Christians often throw around flippantly in our worship songs and conversations and lessons. The truth is a powerful thing, and yes, ought to be shared, but with much care and attention. The concepts of grace and faith and works create a beautiful painting of the Christian life, but that image is skewed when we hastily throw the paints onto the canvas, or use all red and no yellow or blue. This attention to detail and thoughtfulness is almost a form of worship in itself, and to me that is a beautiful thing.
PS on Ashley's :)
These reformations serve as a kind of type for the Christian life, as the very nature of the Christian life is continual reform of one's self.
ReplyDeleteSo eloquently stated, once again reminding us that we are nothing more than a canvas and Christ is the artist.
ReplyDeleteI really like this! There is such wisdom in reverently caring for and teaching truth.
