I read this article recently, THE CENTRALITY OF THE GOSPEL by Tim Keller www.redeemer2.com/resources/papers/centrality.pdf . It brings up two incorrect views of Christianity that predominate our culture, moralism and liberalism. God used this article and life situations with my friends and girlfriend to show me how moralistic I have been in my faith. I know I'm selfish but God opened my eyes to see just how selfish I've been over the past few years in all the "good things" I've done for him.

I hope someone takes the time to read it and make comments.

"Let us arose ourselves to the sternest fidelity, labouring to win souls as much as if it all depended wholly upon ourselves, while we fall back, in faith, upon the glorious fact that everything rests with the eternal God."

I just had time to read the first 2 pages, but it looks like a great read. I love particularly what he said about how the gospel helps us embrace a mid-point between mysticism and rationality.

Hopefully I can finish it soon.

You’ve got your methods
I’m done with trying to guess all your moves
I’m going where you want me to go
I’ve got nothing left to lose
Now I don’t wanna suffer
But that’s in fact the nature of the beast
If you want to get to higher ground
You got to get there on your knees
