Regularly we confess in this place that if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If such willful self-deception is indeed a routine feature of human existence, and if it is indeed the primary obstacle to our living in right relationship with God and with one another, then I expect we could all do with some practice in disciplining our wills. Following him means following him on that way, down that path, the path of self-giving love that God wills for each of us. Almighty God, you gave your Son both as a sacrifice for sin and a model of the godly life. Questions, comments or suggestions for this web ministry are most welcome.
