What Lovely Chains!
Being a sinner is being enslaved. Jesus delivers us from all slavery. (John 8:34-36)
Deliverance (NOT with Burt Reynolds!)
Jesus' delivers us from all oppressors- Satan, death, sin, governments, employers, husbands, parents. We need fear them no more. (Col 2)
Accepting Jesus
Jesus’ salvation is not an event, but a way of life. Christian life is better understood as an ethic than a theology. (John 8:31)
Jesus' Chosen Rulers
The poor outcast who are merciful are the rulers of God’s kingdom. (Matt 5:3-9)
I Don't Want That Kind in MY Church!
Weak believers are to be especially welcomed and respected. (Mark 9:37-39; I Cor 12:22-23)
