Evening: Psalms 102, 130; Amos 5:6-15; Luke 18:9-14
Modern liberal Christianity has reacted against old-tyme religion’s fire and brimstone days by emphasizing compassion and reassurance ... God’s Love and Grace. Of course! But as early as 1973 one writer (Karl Menninger) asked the crucial question: Whatever Became of Sin? There comes a moment of truth when you must admit that you have bowed to evil or lost your way or lost interest in the good. Only admitting that will open you to receive compassion instead of your thinking there is nothing you need, nothing you do not already have. We all need mercy because we all mess up.
