Author Description

Is it possible for a Christian to completely stop sinning? Is it important? Or can God's people casually live life any old way, knowing grace and the blood of Calvary can endlessly cover over their ongoing transgressions?Also at issue: will a final generation of saints be expected to attain perfection before the second coming of Jesus?Buttressed by Scripture and classic quotes from Christian heroes like C. S. Lewis, Philip Yancey, and Morris Venden, Aiming For the Pin paints a cheerful picture of daily Christian living where the redeemed sinner learns to gratefully obey "in a new, less worried way." David borrows from sports metaphors - trying for a 300 score in bowling, aiming for a hole-in-one, focusing on pitching a no-hitter - and adds a few sagging examples from his own golf scorecards in Bangkok. He humbly suggests that while perfectionism is a deadly trap, it's entirely appropriate and biblical for God's disciples to earnestly seek a fuller experience of obedience for the purpose of bringing honor to God.
