Normal Christianity: If Jesus is normal, what is the Church?

we are completely, radically, and unconditionally loved.

“You are better than this; this is not who you are. I have read the end of your story. You are a mighty child of God, not a coward. You are the righteousness of God in Christ. Now, stand up tall, walk with confidence, walk in love, walk in strength. I have made you holy.”

love and fear are opposites; they are incapable of sharing the same time and space.

The question has never been, “Where is revival?” but the question should have always been, “Who is revival?” You and I are the answer to that question.

the application of Jesus’ model has been minimized to something that can be accomplished by living a moral life.

According to Romans 10:9-10, people must acknowledge that Jesus was raised from the dead and that Jesus is the Lord of their lives. If people will not agree with these two things, then it is a fact that they are operating from a source other than the true Jesus of the Bible.

The law of love is this: I choose not to sin because it harms relationship.

It is the job of the Holy Spirit to convince you when you have committed a sin. It is not His job to beat you and make you feel terrible.

Even though we have been forgiven, when we sin, we violate part of our human spirit called the conscience. The conscience is a spiritual organ within us that the Holy Spirit speaks to when He convicts us of sin.
