I’ve been reading ‘Counterfeit Gods’ by Timothy Keller recently and it’s been nothing but a breath of fresh air. It’s been helping me to really ‘see for myself’ the realities of my deepest sins and my most precious idols that I know he’s been asking me to acknowledge and revisit and re-evaluate, to reaffirm the consequences of past sins and recognize potential ones, and to eventually just let go… all in light of this ongoing lesson of grace, written in plain text all throughout Scripture, shown through the weakest of characters and the heaviest of sinners. It’s like I’m reading and my mind’s doing somersaults and cartwheels in my head, trying to wrap my fallible human brain around this concept of mercy, and then grace. Mercy, and then grace.
If you’re interested, buy yourself a copy and read along. We can discuss it when we’re finished.
