When in NYC for the Mockingbird conference, my wife and I were walking along a bustilng street and we saw a lady walking in the oppostie direction pushing her shopping cart. I noticed she was wearing a t-shirt which said, "I have multiple personalities and none of them like you." It took a while for me to stop laught. The more I thought about the more theologically interesting the message became.
Please pardon the multiple typos in my prior post. I'm hurrying off to lunch. Grammatically speaking, I did the very thing I hate to do (Romans). I had a very good and demanding English teacher. Can a blog post be marked with virtual red ink? Grace, please, Grace . . .
DZ, brilliant!
Fisherman gave Romans, I the Small Catechism: "What does such baptizing with water signify? It signifies that the old Adam in us should through daily contrition and repentance be drowned and die with all sins and evil lusts, and also that a new man should daily come forth and arise, who lives in righteousness and purity before God forever."
We are divided people, and Jesus does not play by percentages.
