““In church, we like to talk about coming to Jesus “just as we are”. That phrase sounds so nice and comforting and old-fashioned. We’ll gather together for a hymn sing, and we’ll come to Jesus just as we are. Then we’ll have some cornbread and grits like grandma used to make. But coming to Jesus just as I am isn't optional. He came to save sinners. I can come to Jesus as a desperate sinner or not at all. There is no middle ground.””
