We are often our most arrogant when defending our own humility. What made me think of that little thought are the various translations of 1 Timothy 1:13. The NASB reads, “violent aggressor” which suggests at least in my mind, physical and bodily force. However the HCSB and ESV read quite differently: arrogant man (HCSB) and insolent [...]

The greatest religious radical was the greatest law keeper who saves the greatest lawbreakers if they obey the great gospel of grace (Acts 20:24; Romans 10:16; 1 Timothy 1:15). How radical is that?! How great is that?!
