Sermon Review (1/29/12)
Like a mirror the Word of God shows us where we need to make adjustments and like a lamp it shines forth the truth of how we can change.
The Mirror and the Lamp is a weekly post that, Lord willing, will help you to be more strategic in the application of the Sunday sermon to your life and the lives of those around you. For a brief summary of this past Sunday’s sermon (1/29/12), application questions for personal reflection, and resources for deeper study click HERE.

Mercy Trumps Law
Most of us have heard the story of the Prodigal Son from the time we were young. In this story (Luke 15:11ff) we actually read of two sons. One son was defiant and reckless, selfishly leaving home and living a life of debauchery until he ended up in humiliating circumstances, penniless and eating slop out of a pig trough. The other son was compliant and obedient. He didn’t run away like the younger son; he didn’t blow his inheritance on all sorts of debauchery; he stayed home and worked responsibly and played by the rules – and he was proud of it. Outwardly these two sons were exceedingly different but inwardly they are exactly the same! One was a proud and arrogant rule-breaker. The other was a proud and arrogant rule-keeper. They were both in danger of judgment for their idolatrous self-reliance and in need of mercy.
