A post on a friend's blog has stirred me to post the full text of a sermon that my father sent me. Having once again missed the availability window for the latest issue of Tabletalk at church, we are using it as devotional material during the month of October. Let me give full credit: it is written by Tim Keller, Senior Pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City. I hope he doesn't mind.
What motivates you? You have three choices: fear, pride, or faith. The first two are the choice of unbelievers around the world, and sadly in our worst moments, those of us who also believe. But if you can believe in Jesus Christ and his death on the cross for our sins, the third choice is opened up to you, and you can become one of those who live by faith. Living by faith in Christ is the only way one can be truly free. |
