day no. 17,322: throwing shade at the shade

“The only liberation from accusation is to accuse the spirit of accusation. This is the only thing that can bedevil the devil.” — Douglas Wilson, All the Condemnation

If the condemner does not stand condemned, our condemnation is sure. 

Unless the accuser is accused, the accusations against us have no answer. 

If Christ does not become a curse for us, we are cursed.

The best way to rob the robber is to rob him of his crowbar. 

1 John 1:8-10

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

If we drag our sins out into the light, the accuser loses his power. Accusation grows only in the dark. If we try to pretend we are perfect, we fertilize the weeds of the wicked one, but when we pull them up by the roots in broad daylight, we are free.

Throw shade at the shade and live in the light.
