Vol. 3 Issue 3 :: January 22, 2010

"People tend to make two mistakes when they think about the redeemed life.  The first is to underestimate the sin that remains in us; it's still there and it can still hurt us.  The second is to underestimate the strength of God's grace; God is determined to make us new.  As a result, all Christians need to say two things.  We admit that we are redeemed sinners.  But we also say boldly and joyously that we are redeemed sinners."  ~ Cornelius Plantinga Jr.
