Beyond the Gospel of Sin Management
Eternal Life - “Thinking about this has to be scriptural to seek the
knowledge. Scripture is the place that God has deposited in public way the
knowledge we need to have eternal life...and I don’t mean go to Heaven
when we die. That will take care of itself.”
The Gospels of Sin Management - “Forgiveness, Liberation or Church
centered gospels, are not gospels of regeneration and new life now in the
present Kingdom of God under the living Lord Jesus Christ. It is often
presented if we had never sinned we would have no use for Christ.”
Grace - “Is the gospel only what to do about sin? Grace is often taught as
only for guilt. This misunderstands grace. Go to your Bibles for a
thorough, inductive study of grace. You have to think of yourself in
presenting Christ to the world - is it primarily what to do about sin?”
Dallas Willard, 2007 Harvey Fellows Institute Lectures

Is faith more than “Fire Insurance” & “Life Insurance”?
“Are we eating what we are selling?
What we are selling is irrelevant to our real existence and
without power over daily life.”

About half an hour later—or it might have been half a hundred years
later, for time there is not like time here—Lucy stood with her dear
friend, her oldest Narnian friend, the Faun Tumnus, looking down over
the wall of that garden, and seeing all Narnia spread out below. But when
you looked down you found that this hill was much higher than you had
thought: it sank down with shining cliffs, thousands of feet below them
and trees in that lower world looked no bigger than grains of green salt.
Then she turned inward again and stood with her back to the wall and
looked at the garden.
“I see,” she said at last, thoughtfully. “I see now. This garden is like the
stable. It is far bigger inside than it was outside.”
“Of course, Daughter of Eve,” said the Faun. “The further up and the
further in you go, the bigger everything gets. The inside is larger than
the outside.”
Lucy looked hard at the garden and saw that it was not really a garden
but a whole world, with its own rivers and woods and sea and mountains.
But they were not strange: she knew them all.
“I see,” she said. “This is still Narnia, and more real and more beautiful
than the Narnia down below, just as it was more real and more beautiful
than the Narnia outside the stable door! I see . . . world within world,
Narnia within Narnia. . . .” “Yes,” said Mr. Tumnus, “like an onion: except
that as you continue to go in and in, each circle is larger than the last.”
