Psalm 15

Mark 7: 1-23

"The Good News is that God WANTS YOU. Not just for you to DO things or SAY things or LIVE in a certain way…but God wants YOU. Loves you. Died for you to save you from death to live forever with him growing to more-and-more perfectly love as he loves: To ‘dwell in his tabernacle’ and ‘rest upon his holy hill’."

"Where the bad news is that we’re all inclined towards ‘what’s in it for me?’ dipping in-and-out of committing to God when it’s convenient and it’s not, and we all completely deserve for God to say to us all you’re not really into this are you? The Good News is that HIS love and HIS faithfulness to US is always 100% committed. That he took that 100% justified consequence and punishment for our sins and put it on himself in Jesus to take it away from us. Where we deserve Death, God took our Death in our place to give us life forever."
