Outline
Intro: What is the basis of your relationship with God? Your works or His mercy?
I. N-SHAPED RELIGION
"(The performance narrative) is the default human setting, and the default mode of our society: achievement brings reward, and you do what you must to get what you want.” – Christopher Watkin
II. U-SHAPED GRACE
"What we don’t do for God is often far more critical than what we, in fact, do.” – Eugene Peterson
Takeaway: Lay your deadly-doing down. Then, pick it back up.
