Ryle said a shallow view of sin produces a shallow Christianity. How seriously do you take your own?DiscipledeckdevotionThe Gift CardReligion is 'I obey so God will love me.' Gospel is 'God loves me, so I obey.' Stop trying to pay a bill that Jesus already covered.DiscipleDeckdevotionThe Hammer and the DoorThe Reformation unchained the Bible. The best way to honor that history is to read it. Open your Bible to Romans 3:21-26 today. It is the "Magna Carta" of the Christian faith. Read it slowly and thank God that you don't have to crawl to get to Him.Discipledeck devotionThe Three Lights on the ShoreGod doesn't usually shout; He guides. If you are stuck, check your three lights. If they aren't lined up, the safest thing to do is drift; wait and pray. But if they are aligned, stop hesitating. Trust the Captain and pull into the harbor.Discipledeck devotionThe Dirty Shirt and the Royal RobeJesus didn't just clean you; He traded places with you. He wore your dirty rags so you could wear His royal robe. You are accepted today not because of your behavior, but because of your new clothes.DiscipleDeck devotionThe Gift, Not the WageReligion says "I obey, therefore I am accepted." The Gospel says "I am accepted, therefore I obey." The order matters. If you are working for salvation, you are a slave. If you are working from salvation, you are a son. Rest in the "Done."Discipledeck
