on my facebook feed this morning:
"Defensiveness
is a failure to understand and rest in Christ's finished work.You don't
need to be right, you need death and resurrection--only death and
resurrection will free you to rest and love others who don't get you or
approve of you or respond to you the way you want them to.
For
instance, the gospel frees us from having to check our FB and Twitter
status all the time because we no longer worry about what others think
of us or might be saying about us.
Don't read that as criticism
of anyone but myself. I'm as addicted as anyone but I know that my
addiction means something about the gospel and my failure to rest in
Christ's okay-ness."
(All essential books for one's library btw)
