So true! Special revelation that adds to the gospel is to be avoided.

“Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar."

Proverbs 30:5-6

“The fanaticism which discards the Scripture, under the pretense of resorting to immediate revelations is subversive of every principle of Christianity. For when they boast extravagantly of the Spirit, the tendency is always to bury the Word of God so they may make room for their own falsehoods.” - John Calvin

"Sin is deadly, its monstrous. You need to fear it. You need to run from it."

-Paul Washer

The idea of telling people 'this is sin stop it!' is so alien in our world.

But it is so needed.

It is not loving to let people continue in sin that destroys them! God loves you! He does not forbid you from doing anything that would help you!

Satan comes to kill steal and destroy. Sin is giving in to him. It is not out of judgement or hatred that I tell you to flee from sin, it is out of great love and compassion!

So true!

Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death. 2 Corinthians 7:10

Too often our repentance is shallow. We’re sad over the consequences of our actions and upset that we’ve failed to live up to our own standards of good behavior. But genuine repentance goes deeper than that; it involves a sense of grief over having wronged God by sinning against Him.

Our desire should be to please our heavenly Father, not grieve Him. So genuine repentance leads us to forsake the sin and practise obedience. When we humble ourselves and truly repent, the Holy Spirit pours His power and strength into our life. He enables us to turn from that sin in order to walk in obedience to our Lord.

Celtic Christianity so so cool!

"They are unusual people: dedicated, and full of the Holy Spirit. They are also sometimes anti-social, quirky, and plain obstinate. They love remote islands, where they can contemplate the Creator through the creation - sun, moon and stars, winds and frost, mountains and seas and forest, birds and fish and great seals. They bless freely, and they curse freely. They lived plainly, and prayed much."

-Prof. Kathleen Jones on the Celtic Saints

Definitely my favourite flavour of christianity.
