Purely & Graciously His

 So many-in fact the majority of- social media interactions I have seen on the topics of gender equality in marriage and abuse: Woman: I believe in equality.  Man: No. Rebellious feminist! (Insert many Bible references out of context) Woman: I have been abused. These are the implications of this teaching. Man: Because you didn’t submit and are rebellious.

  Today I will do something different. None of my thoughts. I just want to share this podcast with you all.  The Active Obedience of Christ— White Horse Inn “Most Christians know about the forgiveness of sins, but not the doctrine of active obedience. But how do we become righteous if not through imputation? In this episode of White Horse Inn, hosts Michael Horton, Justin Holcomb, Bob Hiller, and Walter Strickland explain what is meant by the active obedience of Christ and why there’s no hope without it.”  In this podcast, Michael, Bob, Justin, and Walter even talk about the rose illustration and purity culture (while not using that term) and why understanding the active obedience of Christ, Christ for you, and double imputation matters so much for those who feel they have been damaged or broken beyond repair.  This was such a blessing to me and I pray it blesses you as well.  I think every Christian should subscribe to this podcast ☺️
