Thoughtful Thursdays – Redemption vs. Liberation

A new feature that I’ll try to put on Thursdays. It’s a thought from something I’ve read or what someone has said to possibly get the thoughts going on a particular topic. Here’s the first one:

The Gospel is designed to be in the redemption business, not the liberation business. Jesus came to redeem the world, not merely to liberate it. Liberation without redemption is sterile and scary.

David has been a systems thinker most of his life. He has started three businesses as well as designed and developed systems and processes in existing organizations. He has a Doctorate in Leadership and has also done additional post-graduate work in communications.

He has also pastored 3 churches and loves to think about, write about and podcast about scripture, theology, and leadership.
