Allowed vs. Ought

Allowed vs. Ought: I know my focus as a Christian is wrong when I'm more concerned with what I'm allowed to do than with what I ought to do. (via @HarrisJosh)

Clearly God regenerates our heart but doesn't wipe out our sinful nature. I'm more concerned with liberty than responsibility entirely too often.

I know that all that Jesus did cleanses me of all my sins, wiping all of my iniquities away to be remembered no more. The more I think about what he did, the more concerned I am with what God's best is, and trying to live to His standards, understanding the cost of the penalty of sin.

Pilgrim's Progress Musical: Pilgrim is a modern musical adaptation of John Bunyan's classic work, Pilgrim's Progress. It was performed in spring 2009 by the high school students at my church. They did a great job. The script is by theatre professionals (and members of our church) Janice Mays and Cathy Mays. The music is by various artists, including Bob Kauflin, Zach Jones and Mark Altrogge. You can order a DVD of the production here.
Give Me An Answer Highschool Conference: I'm looking forward to joining Al Mohler, Russell Moore, Shane & Shane and hip-hop artist Flame at the SBTS conference for highschool students next spring. Details.
Stephen Altrogge Reviews Dug Down Deep: Over at the Blazing Center blog they've posted a very generous review of the book. Read it.
