Tomorrow I am going to begin a short posting series that centers on the topic of learning to listen effectively to your pastor's sermon. For today, here is another excerpt from the book Die Young: Burying Yourself In Christ. In the upside-down world of Christianity, everything is different. Less is more. Death is life. And weak becomes the new strong. Consider:
"In the Christian life, unlike the world around us, weakness, not strength, is a valuable commodity. We have access to the throne of God, not because of our brute strength or steady determination to obey every minute detail of the law, but because of the confession of our inability to do any of it on our own. It is through weakness that we first utter the words, 'Dear God, save me.'"
