But the goodness of God is a wild and unpredictable goodness, infinitely far from the pious and “religious” tameness so many of us have mistaken for the real thing. Eric Metaxas

Rode to Eulah Creek Road this morning. Beautiful weather but a bit of a cool breeze. Magpies are in full swoop mode. Yay for spring! #cycling #Narrabri #Biketooter

To attempt to justify ourselves before God is to wish to be God ourselves, which never ends well. Eric Metaxas

A surprisingly cold morning after a run of mild weather. Nice ride along Yarrie Lake Rd #cycling #Narrabri #Biketooter

Living out our Christian faith is less an issue of what we believe than an issue of in whom we trust. Eric Metaxas

It’s one thing to say that our faith saves us. Luther understood that, and all of the Scriptures attest to it. But if our faith does not manifest itself in good works, then it’s obvious we actually have no faith. Eric Metaxas

If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn. Eric Metaxas

But the church had great cultural power in Germany. So when it balked and chose not to use its voice and its cultural power, it doomed the entirety of the German Church, which in turn doomed the whole nation.  Eric Metaxas

A rare sighting of a family of Roadus Fixitus in the wild, off Yarrie Lake Rd this morning. It was a good ride only diminished by a strong S. breeze. #cycling #Narrabri #Biketooter

We should say that whenever a church is subservient to the state or to the reigning worldly culture—as the official church in communist China is today—it is no longer the Church of Jesus Christ. It is a counterfeit church that does not serve Jesus, but that serves the forces of power, which is to say it serves the devil. Eric Metaxas
