stretching the truth


how far is too far? if a conservative sermon talks about us as sinners and that we need to dedicate ourselves to christ and try harder, at what point does it sufficiently collide with the truth of grace and the holy spirits desire to lead us into deeper commitment and love with jesus that we can no longer reconcile? is it two perspectives? or is it a lie that leaves the western church robbed of its opportunity to fulfill divine potential and unleased to love the world around them?

if jesus and his followers lives were characterised by people coming to understand God's love for them and demonstrating that love supernaturally through healing and deliverance. and our contries experience of christianity isnt that right now then where does the change need to take place? with us personally, with our churchs, with whats being preached? with all of it?
