This week I’m with my family on vacation at Camp of the Woods in New York State. Our speaker is Haddon Robinson and his son Torrey. This morning, Torrey gave a great first person narrative on James 2:2. He mentioned three areas of pride that keep us from effective service: Pride of Place (wealth or status), Pride of Race (racism), and Pride of Grace. The latter point was particularly compelling for me: those who have been blessed with some good Christian training sometimes think they have been accepted by God because of their superior doctrine or knowledge. But this isn’t so — it is all a work of God’s grace alone. Excellent stuff.
Now, back to mini-golf and the lake.
