Join The Underlines // The Best Of What I Read
A batch of the best highlights from what Joshua's read, .
This fact of God’s care and provision proves to all that no human condition excludes blessedness, that God may come to any person with his care and deliverance. God does sometimes help those who cannot, or perhaps just do not, help themselves. (So much for another well-known generalization!) The religious system of his day left the multitudes out, but Jesus welcomed them all into his kingdom. Anyone could come as well as any other. They still can. That is the gospel of the Beatitudes.

Eat This Book
Eugene H. Peterson
Our slave-soul’s need to work, work, work for absolution must end. Our wandering as lost orphans must come to an end. The only way to see the ending of these things is not in warring against them to defeat them head on, rather it is by turning our attention to the privilege and favor of sonship. Sonship will displace the other broken self-views with such powerful force that they shatter and scatter into the wake behind our new lives moving forward in Christ.
