Without Fear I Can Acknowledge That The

Too Many Christians Are Living In A House Of Fear And Not In The House Of Love.

The Gospel Of Grace Nullifies Our Adulation Of Televangelists, Charismatic Superstars, And Local Church Heroes. It Obliterates The Two-class Citizenship Theory Operative In Many American Churches. For Grace Proclaims The Awesome Truth That All Is Gift. All That Is Good Is Ours, Not By Right, But By The Sheer Bounty Of A Gracious God.

Assured Of Your Salvation By The Unique Grace Of Our Lord Jesus Christ" Is The Heartbeat Of The Gospel, Joyful Liberation From Fear Of The Final Outcome, A Summons To Self-acceptance, And Freedom For A Life Of Compassion Toward Others.

The Way Of Trust Is A Movement Into Obscurity, Into The Undefined, Into Ambiguity, Not Into Some Predetermined, Clearly Delineated Plan For The Future. The Next Step Discloses Itself Only Out Of A Discernment Of God Acting In The Desert Of The Present Moment. The Reality Of Naked Trust Is The Life Of The Pilgrim Who Leaves What Is Nailed Down, Obvious, And Secure, And Walks Into The Unknown Without Any Rational Explanation To Justify The Decision Or Guarantee The Future. Why? Because God Has Signaled The Movement And Offered It His Presence And His Promise.

Trust Is That Rare And Priceless Treasure That Wins Us The Affection Of Our Heavenly Father.
