BTW: I was talking with C-Dog this morning and he raised a great point about LP's series on freedom in Galatians. He tied it in with John 8:1-11, the story about the woman who was to be stoned but Jesus called the Pharisees out by their own sins.
Then he asked her: "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
She responds: "No one, sir"
Is His response to criticize to council to tell her to fix the damage and then come back? No . . .
"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."
It is easy to forgot that we are living life in a fallen world through a saved and redeemed heart. We live from victory in a life of freedom and have lost our view of the joy of the Lord when we keep our eyes focused on anything but the changing power of Christ.
Can I get a witness!?!
