text: We are duty bound to do more than to shrink God's desire for us down into the comfortable. 
  
  Have you noticed how it's done today? 
  
  Here's a short course: "Well the OT is well old, so throw that away..focus on the NT."
  
  "Well let's focus just one what Jesus said...throw out the tough passages in St Paul, St James, St John...let's just focus on what Jesus said, OK?"
  
  Then..well St John's Gospel is different, metaphorical..let's call it something fancy like: the Johannine Gospel, it gives it a nice sort of academic-sounding name, freeing me from the real demands. 
  
  And then let's forget about the tough things that Jesus said like "rebuke the sinner" "if you hand causes you to..."...and focus on the stuff that sounds fun and nice.
