That, somehow, we are fundamentally incapable of doing good, loving others and doing the Good Work. If we do, in fact, believe that we are created in Her image, then to say we cannot be like Him is counter-intuitive. <br /><br />I am not saying we won't make mistakes, for we all do, but to argue that lack of perfection equals total depravity of man and that because we aren't perfect means we shouldn't even try is the best being the enemy of the good.<br /><br />The trouble isn't a lack of Grace, but of imagination...not a lack of the Divine, but us not believing in Him and in ourselves.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200045196217644013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6134723288757688995.post-10102657338694202382011-08-21T19:14:18.579-06:002011-08-21T19:14:18.579-06:00Glad I could inspire you Tim.

Now if we only believed what else He said about the Way--all that stuff about doing as He did and more than he did. It's hard to imagine a world where millions we able to do as He did, love as He did, work with divinity as He did. On Earth as it is in Heaven would indeed be a reality.colkochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432916690101599393noreply@blogger.com
