Yet, we fail to relegate ourselves the same latitude. It is that self condemnation that kills our faith, passions and potential. We beat ourselves up and are left thinking small, meager and pathetic.

Last year I learned about concepts like this and Arminianism and Lordship Salvation for the first time, and after spending a great deal of time researching from different viewpoints I came to the conclusion that I want to know God and experience grace directly from him, not through someone's concepts about him. Antinomianism and other theological boxes can seek to divide us rather than bring us together in unity. Personally I feel theological boxes can get us into trouble because they make God small.

i think in terms of Psalms 103:12
“as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions from us”

We don't really have a clue how grace works. We desire it. We ask for it. We preach about it. But when it comes to giving it…as you said, mediocre at best.

I'm so glad He sees everything, every nook and cranny of my heart, and still loves me…
