We live in therapeutic times. We want comfort for being losers instead of forgiveness for being sinners. And we need forgiveness for being sinners; we have way too much comfort for being losers. This is because true forgiveness always brings other transformative things in its train while therapeutic comfort leaves us right where we were: comfy in our sins.
-D. Wilson [excerpt from The Gospel and Your Family, from The Blenheim Lectures]
