Baneful Numbers
I must admit that I find it quite comforting when I come across a posting in the blogosphere that closely hews to my own take on things. It’s nice to know that one is not alone, particularly when dealing with things/trends that are hurtful to the church.
Pastor Alms, over at incarnatus est, has made just such a posting, regarding the unfortunate obsession with numbers suffered by our sinful flesh. I share his hatred of numbers as the be-all & end-all of “judging success” — as well as his lapses into doing that very thing which we know is wrongheaded & counterproductive.
And you don’t have to be a pastor to head on over there, read the posting, & contemplate what it means. Thank God for the gracious gift of His Son, the cross, and the forgiveness that was purchased for us there — for it is that good news, and that Balm of Gilead, that provides such supreme & rock-solid comfort for the times when we’ve been convicted (if not outright crushed) by the Law.
