We live in a society where we have to work to get far ahead of the rest, so we tend to think if I do more, I can still be a Christian. Also some pastors fail to express to their people what their new identity in Christ truly is.

God isn't like that, of course. <br /><br />But this isn't a way to say that "Annie" is airtight as Scriptural metaphor. Just an illustration.Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07454966527986478217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-538825134834187144.post-75217383542221782542010-10-04T10:49:20.571-04:002010-10-04T10:49:20.571-04:00That is good.
