Learning Memo: February
I don’t want to live this way, and God is certainly calling me deeper. A deeper fellowship that doesn't have me walking away and turning my face from Him when things don’t go as I planned or hoped, a stronger faith that does not sway wherever the wind blows, a true knowledge of Him that profoundly changes how I live my life, what I give my thoughts to, where I find rest, how I surrender, how I wait, essentially how I live in the mundanities and the unexpected terrors of my day to day.
Jackie Hill Perry’s “Holier Than Thou”
Jackie Hill Perry has written a crucial text that not only exposes the root of our sins and radically points out all the real and rebellious ways we choose everything but God, but also a book about Who (a holy God), why (there is nothing, in all the earth, better than His goodness & nothing eternally satisfying as the Bread of life) and the how (to behold Him in the Word and to believe, by the power of the Spirit, that He is all things holy and good and love and perfect and as such, better than anything an unholy and broken and unloving and imperfect world could ever give).
