The False Gospel of Hard Work

“We are followers of Jesus. We are in Christ. We are forgiven. We are children of God. We are saints, it says in Scripture. This is what gives us our worth and our value. Jesus chose you. … This is the identity of which we work. … Where you're feeling condemned. Now, one of the problems I want to make sure with this, I don't want you to feel condemned for feeling condemned. That's one of those things just ask for forgiveness. … Please help remove it. If you hurt someone, go and make it right. But we need to experience the freedom of forgiveness again. We need to experience the lightness of the yoke again.”
