I hope you got to hear Reggie Joiner on Sunday. He was great in his message of the ‘older brother’.
The other day I was driving somewhere and drove by a church that had a huge sign out front that said “For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.” and at the time I thought “but what about Grace?”. There is no doubt that the sign was right. After all it is scripture and it comes from Ephesians 5:5 but it does not take into account Grace.
I think that the church is struggling with “older brother” thinking and that sign is a symptom of that. I am so thankful that 12Stone is working to give Grace. If you did not hear the message then check out the podcast at www.12stone.com and see what you can learn from the “Loving Father”.
Thanks for listening,
Jerry Robertson
