Continuing Tullian Tchividjian’s series on the oft misunderstood Epistle of James. “You can read this book one way and become a Pharisee and read it another way and become a deeper lover of Jesus.”
On a personal note, I’ve been going through what you might call a gospel renewal of sorts the last few years in particular and have recently stumbled across Tullian’s teaching and have found it most helpful in sorting out just what a gospel-driven faith not only looks like, but what makes it tick. Tullian’s preaching just happens to be some of the best preaching I’ve ever heard in 25 years. Between his blog and several messages I’ve listened to now, it’s safe to say Tullian is on to something, something big.
In part 5 of this series, Tullian explains, “We all possess a natural proclivity to turn God’s good news announcement that we’ve been set free into a narcissistic program of self-improvement.”
Enjoy.
