But One Thing

We’d so much like to think that the ‘older’ we get in the Lord, the saintlier we get. Whole denominations are built on this notion. Of course, there is some validity to this, but there is also a tension, if you would, with it as well. For, the more ‘mature’ we become in Christ, the more ‘taintlier’ we realize we are in comparison to our dear Savior.
