radical.

so i'm reading a new book, radical by david platt.
here are a few tid-bits:


"we desperately need to explore how much of our understanding of the gospel is american and how much is biblical." ouch.

"we are afraid that if we stop and really look at God in his word, we might discover that he evokes a greater awe and demands deeper worship than we are ready to give him." double ouch.

today i am thankful for grace. i am thankful that the Lord pursues me and is faithful even when i am not. i am thankful that he loves enough to make me feel the ouches and by feeling the ouches i will be refined and blessed. i will be blessed because seeking the Lord is the source of joy.

now, off to austin for a little romantic get-away...
