While reading Marilyn Westerkamp’s American Society of Church History, I came across a section that related back to the sermon in Chapel this morning. The pastor’s sermon was about identity and how not having a relationship with God could interfere with finding one’s identity. In Anne’s past, she moved away from Christ, “She had followed the covenant of works; she had opposed Christ,” (pg. 491). Then this passage goes on to say, “her first progressive steps toward enlightenment involved the discovery that she, herself, had to be overcome,” (pg. 491). These two quotes put together further emphasize the point of the sermon - without having Christ in your life, you will not be able to overcome challenges as easily.
