GraceHead vs. LawHead 8 (focus factor)

The two best ways to have alcohol rule your life is to either focus on it as an obsession to have, or focus on it as a prohibition, but both ways make it the focus, and it will dominate your life.

Now there are a lot of good things to focus on that are not the best. LawHead teaching focuses primarily on the prohibition of sin and the book. Take those two issues away and there is no focus for LawHead teaching. I often say that you can eliminate the word "Jesus" from LawHead teaching and there is no difference from when you include it. Jesus is just a remote prop that gets the credit if everything works out, or conjures fantasy fear as an appraiser of what we do, but God is not really relevant to the LawHeads as more then an appraiser of lonely toil.

However, the primary, secondary and auxiliary focus is the Lord Jesus Christ when you are under GraceHead teaching. He is all that matters, and only exactly Christ Jesus will pass muster. We can not sit around and pat each other on the back for prohibiting ourselves from something bad, or doing something good. We only settle for exactly Christ in any given moment.

GraceHeads also know that learning the book is no replacement for knowing the Author. God's activity in us and nothing less will do. We must have exactly Christ, or we must repent. Thus, Jesus is not only essential to spiritual instruction, we continually focus on Him as the Author, who is supreme to the book, and as the only "Life" we have.

As He is the focus of our life, there is nothing that He cannot cure.

Now, pay attention next time you hear "Focus on the Family" or some other so-called Christian broadcast and see if you can scrub "Jesus" from the teaching and have anything different then what you get day in and day out.
