reflection

Good news cannot exist without the bad news, the bads news cannot exist unless there is good news. we like to talk about the salvation and the good of it , but how about talking about sin? we may have the hope of the good news, but the consequences of bad news very much still exist. yes, preaching justification is good. but how about sanctification? that would put salvation in another light! that would make all of us involved in discipleship. just look at the lives of those who come to God for health and wealth. would not it be the same if our God stop blessing and healing? now i understand why piper calls the health and wealth circus idolatry.
