The self-sacrificing, servant aspect of the Christian life has many parallels to parenthood.
Philip YanceyThe Gospels and the rest of the New Testament reflect the life of Jesus, what it means for us & what it means for the world.
Philip YanceyThunderously, inarguably, the Sermon on the Mount proves that before God we all stand on level ground: murderers and temper-throwers, adulterers and lusters, thieves and coveters. We are all desperate, and that is in fact the only state appropriate to a human being who wants to know God. Having fallen from the absolute Ideal, we have nowhere to land but in the safety net of absolute grace.
