"I want you to be reconciled to God; I make no attempt to try to get God to be reconciled to you, that is, be defined by your desires, for God is God, and you are not....We have freedom, therefore, and joy, peace, and the boundless fruit of the Spirit.  Today put aside your goal to impress people with your clothes, money, accent, or talents.  Today put aside the people-pleasing poison in the water that ruins it all, and in your heart set aside Jesus as Lord.  Be a servant of Christ and find in Jesus that in his service is perfect freedom." (Josh Moody, No Other Gospel, p. 53)
I started reading No Other Gospel this week, and love it.  It's 31 chapters that dig deep into Galatians.  Nothing I've read so far is new or revolutionary, but I've been stuck on the very simple idea that God is God.  That seems rather obvious and simple, and it is.  But I don't live like that's true all too often.  God is God, I am not, and the gospel is His gospel.  There is no other gospel.
