In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and void and darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; ...more

“Jesus dines with sinners not because sin is no big deal. Jesus dines with sinners not because he expects us to go on sinning. Jesus dines with sinners not because he knows that some of us are just more prone to certain sins than others, and he gives us a free pass when our inclinations lead us into sin. Jesus dines with sinners not because the Roman government made certain sins into a protected class of citizenship. The laws of the land do not nullify the laws of God. Jesus dines with sinners so that he can get close enough to touch us, so that he can participate in the intimacy of table fellowship as a healer and a helper.

It bore down on the mocking of Satan and the betrayal of friends. His mercy in the Son paid the price of his justice in the Father, and his Spirit forges an irreplaceable, unbreakable, and eternal union with him that carries us through death itself (Psalm 147). This is authentic Christianity, and its steep costs and high yield can be withstood only when the strength of our words matches the strength of our relationships.”
