what my heart needs…
October 7th, 2007
“The gospel word and the gospel community are essential. My heart needs to hear that word often if it is to be filled with ‘inexpressible and glorious joy’. It is among the community of God’s poeple that the word will be brought to bear on my life frequently and perceptively. It is through his word and among his people that the Holy Spirit works to break this sinner’s heart and renews it so that I love God - truly, madly and deeply” (Total Church: A radical reshaping around gospel and community, p. 203).
