“The Reformation was a time when men went blind, staggering drunk because they discovered, in the dusty basement of late medievalism, a whole cellar full of fifteen-hundred-year-old, two-hundred proof Grace – bottle after bottle of pure distillate of Scripture, one sip of which would convince anyone that God saves us single-handedly. The word of the Gospel – after all those centuries of trying to lift yourself into heaven by worrying about the perfection of your bootstraps – suddenly turned out to be a flat announcement that the saved were home before they started.” (Robert Capon) From p.24, “One Way Love, Inexhaustible Grace for An Exhausted World” by Tullian Tchividjian (grandson of Billy Graham).
I totally relate with the above. My reformation/revival started a little over 8 years ago in the 8th month of 2006. Taking that month of August off – feeling that I had come to the end of myself, I cried out to God…and He heard me and answered. He began to show me His endless love, mercy and grace from the pages of the Bible, like I had never seen before. I was bowed over, set free, on fire all by my little ole’ self at home! And it hasn’t ended, He just keeps on showing me more and more of his amazing grace and I often find my self staggering drunk on his love! “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth – for your love is more delightful than wine.” Song of Solomon 1:2 (NIV). To find out more about God’s inexhaustible grace – I highly recommend Tullian Tchividjian’s latest book: ONE WAY LOVE.
