Open Christianity vs. Open Handed Gospel
I was struggling with the problem of Open Christianity and the need of Scriptural Discipline when I received my April issue of Christianity Today. There in black and white was a short article by Richard Mouw about the Open Handed Gospel. And I thought, well, here’s some answers. But as I read the article, I soon realized that they are not the same.
I found that that what I see in the Gospel is the open handed approach to Scripture and not an openness to outside teachings. We must always defer to the Word in matters of Faith and life, but we must be Serving our LORD with the same openness of Jesus.
I wish that those of the Dogmatic Faiths would realize this and relax the legalistic attitudes to embrace life as Jesus did and be open handed in the spreading of His compassionate Salvation.
Scriptures teach me that Love and Mercy were the Gifts given by the Sacrifice of Jesus otherwise He has changed nothing in the hearts of Man. Give Mercy and Love as you have received.
