Quote of the Week

J.I. Packer; In My Place Condemned He Stood; p.41

Reminds me of that verse that says grace and peace kiss. (I think that's what it says!) (And I'm not talking of an easy peace.)

I blogged on L.L.'s book, first chapter today, the 7th.

Thanks for your comments - the cross of Christ is minimized and misunderstood today as it has been at different points in church history.
