The genius of the gospel is not to cause a political revolution, for such things do more harm than good, but rather to transform the inner person which in turn transforms relationships with others. In these transformations lie the seed to lasting change.

It's been a long time since I last heard this hymn. The Holy Spirit just brought it back to my mind and I thought I'd share it with you:

"He paid the debt he did not owe
I owed a debt I could not pay.
I needed someone to wash my sins away.
And now I sing a brand new song,
Amazing Grace . . .
Christ Jesus paid the debt
That I could never pay"
----------
Thanks be to God for His most gracious gift, one which I could never earn in 1000 lifetimes.

"Before the Lord the whole universe is as a drop of morning dew upon the earth. But you have mercy on all, Lord, because you can do all things. You overlook people's sins that they may repent. Therefore you rebuke offenders little by little. You warn them and remind them of the sins they are committing that they may abandon their wickedness and believe in you."

Wisdom 11:22-12:2

In Col 4.7, most versions prefer translating the Greek word διάκονος as "minister" rather than its general sense, "servant." Why is that? A few, mostly off-versions, translate it as "deacon." Are most of them tainted by a clergy mindset? Or is it simpler, that the third noun is σύνδουλος, which most translate as "fellow(-)servant", and they don't want to translate it a slave, so avoid servant twice in the same phrase? NASB doesn't have a problem with that, however.

Isaiah 54:5 (#NASB)

For your husband is your Maker,
Whose name is the #LORD of hosts;
And your Redeemer is the Holy One of #Israel,
Who is called the #God of all the earth.
