"Crazy Love" by Francis Chan has worked me over.
I could write for hours and describe my reactions to his many valuable concepts, insights, and scriptural nuggets, but will be very brief with this one reaction. I don't want it to become lost in verbal clutter.
If I die today, by what works (or lack of works) will I be judged?
O great and mighty God, whose name is the Lord of hosts ... rewarding each one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his deeds. (Jer. 23:18-19 ESV).
Matters of the heart are crucial. But it doesn't stop there.
It is by my WORKS that men shall know me.
God, forgive me for my dependence upon comfort.
This book caused a repenting session that lasted FOUR solid days! My tear ducts ran dry. I purpose to be different!
