Did I say that?
Monday, May 19th, 2008Sometimes I hear or read things that contradict something that I have thought or said. I came across one such statement today:
“Christianity isn’t about do’s and don’ts. It’s about a relationship.” (As if the relationship were not guarded and preserved by rules. Try telling your wife after you’ve had an affair, “Come on. I thought our marriage was about the relationship, not all these do’s and don’ts.”) - Kevin DeYoung
I think what I have said is, “Christianity is not a religion, it is a relationship.” Still, I think the point is well taken. We need to be careful in not sacrificing the commands of the Bible in the name of relationship. If we do, we are fooling ourselves.
