Tiger (& us): Hunted by sin

Once again C.J. Mahaney brings humility & gospel-centrality to bear on a big media story. You can read the entire article here.

C.J. ends his discussion of Tiger Wood’s infidelity with these words:

“And this story should humble and sober us. It should make us ask: Are there any so-called “secret sins” in my life? Is there anything I have done that I hope nobody discovers? Is there anything right now in my life that I should confess to God and the appropriate individuals?

And this should leave us more amazed by grace because there, but for the grace of God, go I.”

“My Gospel Journey”

Recently I was reflecting on my own journey deeper into the gospel, when I came across the story of Richard Kaufman of Harbor Presbyterian Church in San Diego, CA.  Though I am miles away from his understanding of all the implications of Gospel-centrality, I found this message challenging and encouraging.

Kaufman divides his journey into eight gospel lessons; salvation by justification by faith, double imputation, the bible is all about Jesus, sanctification by grace through faith, how to minister the gospel to others, how to apply the gospel to the sin under the sin, how the gospel calls us to be a missional church, & how to lead a grace renewal church.

You will not waste a minute listening to this insightful talk.  You can find it here.
