Rick Harris: I Tremble
This is the seventh in a series of daily Lenten devotionals by a
group of Anglican bloggers and friends. Today’s entry is by Rick Harris who posts regularly on the Stand Firm Alabama blog. You can read other entries in the series here.

Excerpt: "God’s grace is wonderful, but it also strips us naked of all those good works, good thoughts, and good intentions that we in our sinful pride believe can shield us from God’s wrath. It requires of us that we surrender any notions of our own worthiness. God is not only just, He is all-knowing, all-powerful, and uncompromising in His holiness. He can forgive sin, but He cannot accept it. To stand before His throne is to be balanced on a precipice. If we demand a just reward for our earthly good works, we are instantly lost."

The rest at Lent and Beyond
