All of my posts assume the saving and quickening work of grace through the indwelling Holy Spirit. That said, we've also been given wills through which we make choices to follow Christ, and not to follow him. We're not merely passive receivers of our spiritual growing and maturing. We choose and act as well. I agree Jesus love animates it all, but I think you're assuming a dichotomy I'm not making. Thanks for weighing in.Kithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551796086160537522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3321604364389095781.post-14632506331088662682012-01-26T18:27:15.443-05:002012-01-26T18:27:15.443-05:00This is a great series upon leadership.

Lewis said that God doesn't love us cause we're good, but that He makes us good because He loves us. Jesus seems to be amazing enough to make us good even if and when we don't let Him, but it works way better if and when we do.Jeff L.noreply@blogger.com
