Emphasis Preaching Journal

If a building inspector comes to your house, he's coming to condemn it. He checks your foundation, your walls, your roof, your fire alarm systems, picking out the faults, and scribbling dire notes. You wait with your head down, envisioning your house strung with caution tape and "no trespassing" signs instead of Christmas lights and welcome mats. Thankfully, Jesus is not our building inspector. He did not come into the world to condemn the world, despite our shaky foundations of rumors, our leaking roofs of pride and vanity, and our tottering walls of ignorance.
