Go and Not Do

When the adulteress was brought to Him, Jesus did not give her something to go and do. Instead, He gave her something to go and not do... to go and sin no more. He came to lift burdens, not increase them. In Matthew 11, we are not told to "come and perform" or "to come and behave", but to come and stop doing, to come and rest. On the cross He did not say, "the work has begun"; He said, “It is finished.”

Accept His grace. Let all that hinders fall away. Enter the narrow way, that few find, which leads to life. Embark upon the path of sanctification, of freedom! For this is the walk of faith.

Faith & Obedience

‎"Before faith and obedience become acts of man they are gifts of God." - R.B. Kuyper

Justice

You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. Leviticus 19:15

Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:9

Learn to do good; Seek justice, Reprove the ruthless, Defend the orphan, Plead for the widow. Isaiah 1:17

He pled the cause of the afflicted and needy; Then it was well. Is not that what it means to know Me?" Declares the LORD. Isaiah 22:16

People don't belong on pedestals

Don't put people up on pedestals because (1) they might fall and hurt themselves or (2) they might fall and crush you.
