Content and StructureLife is busy anyway, isn’t it? And Christmas only makes it even more busy. Just think about the daily distractions in your life in a normal working week that are happening in your home and at work. Then when you pick up your mobile phone, there are countless distractions, and then add Christmas on top of that as another layer. It’s a busy, distracting time. But liturgy—a daily liturgy—can help us by giving us the discipline to do something day after day.

Secure TravelSurely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever. (Ps. 23:6). I’m sure you have seen a police escort of an important dignitary where some armored vehicles go ahead and some follow, with the special person in the middle, and there are usually police escorts on either side as well. Is there any safer way to travel? Complete security, perfect protection, full provision: ahead and beside and behind.

Is Every Sin the Same in God’s Eyes? Many Christians hold to the mistaken notion that every sin is the same in God’s eyes.

Two Doctrines TogetherI think this is a good example of not studying a doctrine in isolation. If you study the doctrine of total depravity on its own, you may be led to think that an unbeliever cannot do any good in society. And yet that is incongruent with our own experience of unbelievers; they do good all the time. And so I think the other doctrine that you need to study total depravity with is the doctrine of common grace. First, we need to understand total depravity correctly.

Waiting Is RelationalEvery Christian is waiting. Most of us consider this reality from a personal vantage point. We individualize it. Perhaps there’s something in your life that you desire, but it’s been delayed. Or maybe there are painful circumstances that you long to see resolved, but you’re living in tension. Gaining personal perspective by embracing a different attitude about waiting is a good starting point. It’s where my journey began.

Thoughts of the HeartI would want to avoid having proof texts for any doctrine. Doctrines arise out of holding together a whole number of biblical texts and then synthesizing internally related doctrines as they’ve been understood through church history. So any doctrine is really a biblical, systematic construction, and having one proof text for it can be unhelpful. That said, I think that some texts really encapsulate what the doctrine of total depravity is saying.

A Shared Corrupt NatureThe doctrine of total depravity states that, with the exception of the Lord Jesus Christ, all of humanity, from the very moment of conception, share a corrupt human nature which renders us liable to God’s wrath, incapable of any saving good, inclined toward evil, and which leaves us both dead in sin and enslaved to sin.
