The Father we never knew Phelim Doherty

To preach the Gospel in the power of the Spirit is to find yourself, much to your own surprise, speaking to what is not, as if it is. Of all the voices that are speaking to you in this world, the voice of God is the only one that does not speak to you according to your natural state.

Live reconciled.
Live from the party, not from the field.
Live from His acceptance, not for His acceptance.
It is not your job to reconcile yourself to God.
God has done that through the man Christ Jesus.

Let His life do the work.
Let His life be done unto you according to His Word to you.
Let the power of the Gospel call up in you, His life.

All who want a Saviour, have a Saviour; Jesus Christ

“You cannot carry the weight of trying to save yourself from death. That burden will crush you and steal from you your innocence; the joy and wonder at just being alive. What you need is a Father, who gives you a life greater than death, and so lifts from you the burden of trying to save yourself."

A conversation with Jeff and Roger Fields on the beauty and power of the Gospel and our journey in understanding that when we dilute down the generosity of God, we take the metanoia out of the message.
