"A man is most often right in what he affirms and wrong in what he denies." Why is that?
I was recently skim reading a bit of Lesslie Newbigin in which he makes two great statements we could all do with absorbing, but commits the error Maurice saw so often:
"election is for responsibility, not for privilege"
[Christ] bears witness to the presence of the reign of God, not by overpowering the forces of evil, but by taking their full weight upon himself"
Surely in both instances it is both!
I admit I often do the same though. Why do the best of us, make this mistake over and over again?
