Deeds or Doctrine?
My post yesterday, in retrospect, needed more. As usual, it rambled a bit and didn’t quite get to the heart of the matter, so I figured I would address that and take the time to also redirect our eyes away from ourselves and towards Christ. I have heard so many times of people desiring to make their faith more genuine and “Christ-centered,” but I remember wanting and saying that years ago and not knowing what that tangibly looked like. So where do we start?
It starts in the mind with our understanding of what we believe and why we believe it. We then trust the work of the Spirit through the Word to change our hearts. This last step is exactly why this isn’t a mere academic exercise or high-level theological discussion, but something gritty and daily applied time after time.
And so to start you off as you continue to build your faith on the foundation set before you, I’ll be taking some popular slogans we hear in our circles and deconstructing them in favor of a genuinely biblical worldview. Those who have been in my CE class last year will have gotten a taste of this. Let’s begin.
