Yes the title of this blog entry is a great example of terrible grammar. (Mrs. Flag, my senior English teacher would be horrified.) But the poor grammar is intentional and pointed!
Hebrews 10:9 tells us that Jesus said, "Here I am, I have come to do your will." As we went over that in Bible study last night that really struck me. As we strive for holiness, we so often focus on the don'ts. The ever growing list of things that we can not do if we want to be like Jesus.
But as we study scripture, we find a different pattern. We find that Jesus focus is on "doing" the will of the Father!
With that in mind, might a make a suggestion? Instead living on the defensive and walking around with an ever growing stone tablet of things that aren't permissible... why don't we instead just focus on "doing" what pleases God!
