Through renewal of the promise of God's grace in Christ, disordered and twisted lives are again redirected and set right with God. We find that the righteousness God demands of us is the very righteousness He gives us. He makes men holy who in their self-centeredness and lack of trust would like to rely on their own efforts. -- Ernest Koenker, *Worship in Word and Sacrament* p. 13
An oldie but goodie--my pastor gave me a copy during my first year in seminary (1975).
