So did I, when I read back my sermons of some years ago. Thanks for your comforting blog that convinces me once more I made the right change! With warmest greetings (it's 30 deg.

Of course you were probably not like me...20 years from now? Yeah, I'm probably sinning and offending people in lots of ways I'm not even aware of. In 20 years, if I live and the Lord wills, I'll probably be thanking him if I can even move. Hey Bill,

It is amazing to consider how far God has brought us over the years. Funny isn't it? In those days we celebrated the grace of God for saving us from plain old sin and now we celebrate the same grace of God, but this time for delivering us from the sin of legalism that we didn't know we had. What will we be thanking Him for in 20 years? Mark, you’re comments are so refreshing and God glorifying. It is amazing to consider how far God has brought us over the years. Funny isn’t it?

Yeah, Fredokie, isn't grace wonderful? Yeah, you wouldn't have liked it much back then, but most of us didn't know any better.... Thanks J, hope it encouraged you. John, that's a good way to put it - sin has been de-throned and Jesus is ruling in our hearts. Thanks for your comment! Hey Paul, I don’t know who the artist is, but he must have been drawing me….

As new creations in Christ, sin has been de-throned from Lordship over our lives and Jesus has taken the seat. We battle sin and temptations as external things to our nature.
