“Jesus didn’t just die for me, He died as me! What’s more, He was buried and rose again as me; that is, in my place, knowing that I was unable to do so, much less efficaciously. This…and nothing but this.” Pastor/Coach/Entrepreneur/Author of Wealth with God curriculum, Jim Baker.

Repentance Fosters Forgiveness
Forgive yourself by (forgiving others and) changing (your fallen, selfish ways).
Wise Love.
“You can judge how far you have risen in the scale of life by asking one question: ‘How wisely and how deeply do I care?’ To be ‘Christianized’ is to be sensitized. Christians are people who care.” E. Stanley Jones. (“So…first be wise in your caring…and that will dictate how much care you show.” Commentary by Denny Beckham.)
“Reverse AI?”
AI (Artificial Intelligence) = IA (Idolatrous Addictions).
Holiness is…’fearsome’ otherness.
“Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of Hosts, the whole earth is full of His glory” (Isaiah 6:3). This holiness is the devastating divinity of God. Isaiah is undone by this fearsome otherness.” It’s Good to be a Man book by Michael Foster & Dominic Bnonn Tenant, pg. 135. (Italics and bold added by me, and: “I’ve never heard holiness defined in quite these wonderful terms before = WOW!”)
