This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

Saved Yet Sinner
We are saved as sinners. God has to use bad people for his purposes...it is all He has. We are shaped into God's image, yet we are never free of the state of being sinners. Embracing life, accepting humanity, forgiving people, accepting that life crushes us down, embracing a sinful humanity, this is being conformed to God's image. Accepting ourselves as nothing, we become everything.
