A student of mine who happens to be black: Seth, I'm a minority but the Jews are a menority. Get it? MENORAH-ty!?!?
I met the woman of my dreams
Wanted to give her everything
Then fear came like a thief in the night
But my journal pages prophesy
That one day I’d make her my bride
Soon my best friend was wearing white
With our lives ahead all I could say was
If I ever needed grace, it’s now
You are strong when I am weak, somehow
I am weak enough to see
I need You to cover me
If I ever needed grace, it’s now
If I Ever Needed Grace, Jimmy Needham
For the time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
2 Timothy 4:3
Beware lest you make Christ into a Moses, and the gospel into a book of law or doctrine… In fact, however, the gospel demands no works to make us holy and to redeem us. Indeed, it condemns such works and demands only faith in Christ, because He has overcome sin, death, and hell for us… This is in order that we might take to ourselves His death and victory as if it were our own.
Martin Luther, Preface to the New Testament
At last, by the mercy of God, meditating day and night, I gave heed to the context of the words, namely, “In it the righteousness of God is revealed, as it is written, ‘He who through faith is righteous shall live.’” There I began to understand that the righteousness of God is that by which the righteous lives by a gift of God, namely by faith. And this is the meaning: the righteousness of God is revealed by the gospel…with which merciful God justifies us by faith… Here I felt that I was altogether born again and had entered paradise itself through open gates.
