Rectify

I come from a background highly steeped in “righteous consciousness” where 1 Cor 15:34 was the banner of our teaching.

1Co 15:34
(34) Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Coming into grace has put a spotlight on this, and a number of verses, which heretofore I just accepted to mean what they said. My studies have expanded my thoughts considerable in this area and it is my hope to offer to you some insights that have come to me in the arena of what we’ve termed as “righteousness.” Since my first book, Grace for Shame, I have been acutely aware of the issues surrounding shame and how grace has factored into its resolution.

I recognize that what you are about to read and hear might run counter to all the doctrine which you have digested, however, meditate upon what I’m offering to you here. Do the research for yourself; poke holes in it; eat the meat and spit out the bones; whatever method you’ve previously employed is acceptable in evaluating this material. I’m still working out the wrinkles as they appear to me also.

Here is the video teaching I recently gave about this matter. Enjoy!
