B. Module 3: Week 3<\/p>\n
Thread: Squares, Triangles, Circles, and Hearts<\/p>\n
Squares:<\/p>\n
1. Because of sin, our nature (human nature) is curved in upon itself. This is what is theologically known as original sin. The Old Testament prophet Jeremiah understood this and wrote, \u201cThe human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?\u201d (Jeremiah 17:9)<\/p>\n
2. The heart is co corrupted by sin that it will fear, love, and trust anything and anyone but God. Therefore, culture ideas like \u201ctrust your heart\u201d or \u201cfollow your heart\u201d should not be heeded. This kind of advice will only lead away from God.<\/p>\n
3. \u201cGod always meets us when rock meets bottom. He promises to meet us in the place of despair\u201d (Grunewald, p.101). Thus, it is in places of lowliness, weakness, and brokenness that we are must likely to find God. It is in these places that we will find the presence of God and not the absence of God.<\/p>\n
4. Christians love their neighbor not out of obligation but out of a heart overflowing with the love of Jesus. This is the heart of a servant. This is also the heart of Jesus who demonstrated through his actions what being a servant looked like.<\/p>\n
Triangles:<\/p>\n
1. Sin is ultimately the worship of self and therefore a worship problem.<\/p>\n
2. According to Luther, one reason that people leave the church is because sin is downplayed and good works is promoted making people think they are already good enough or righteous enough for God\u2019s acceptance.<\/p>\n
3. \u201cChristian growth is not primarily about sinning less. Christian growth is a war within us that is won by the Spirit through the Gospel\u2026As you grow you will realize more and more how big the problem of sin is\u2026Growth isn\u2019t about needing the cross less, it\u2019s about the cross doing its work daily. As we become acutely aware of what need to be put to death our daily lives transform\u201d (Grunewald, p. 96).<\/p>\n
Circles:<\/p>\n
1. How else does Paul describe the difference between the carnal and the spiritual man in his other letters and does Luther\u2019s understanding in Romans fit with these descriptions?<\/p>\n
2. How does Luther\u2019s understanding of the gifts listed in Romans (Prophecy, Service, Teaching, Exhortation, Generosity, Leadership, and Mercy) fit with the other places Paul talks about gifts in his letters? <\/p>\n
Hearts:<\/p>\n
1. \u201cGrace is the pronouncement of your relationship to the Father, and it has nothing to do with whether you are a well-behaved child of the Father\u201d (Grunewald, p. 39).<\/p>\n
