eye past self
Repentance is replete with radical implications for a fundamental change of mind not only turns us from the sinful past, but also transforms our life plan, ethics, and actions as we begin to see the world through God's eyes rather than ours. That kind of transformation requires the ultimate surrender of self.
understanding culture dominion
I was deepening my understanding of what we call the cultural commission, the command to take dominion and bring righteousness to our culture.
people church doe
The church does not draw people in; it sends them out.
