Adrian Rogers was a motivator, an encourager, and a leader of the faith.

He was also passionate about presenting scriptural application to everyday life circumstances,

and you'll hear that in today's message.

Now, let's join Adrian Rogers.

Take God's word and go back to the book of Titus, where we began this series of messages on grace

and find Titus chapter 2.

And in a moment I'm going to begin reading in verse 14.

Now grace is a wonderful, wonderful attribute of God, and we're saved by the grace of God.

And the grace of God affirms something, and the grace of God tells us to avoid something,

and the grace of God achieves something.

And that's what we're going to see today as we deal with this message on the dangers of

extremism. Last week, the dangers of extremism.

Last week, we dealt with perfectionism.

Today, with extremism.

And both perfectionism and extremism are the enemies of grace.

I've been in the ministry long enough to know that the cause of Christ

has been deeply hurt by extremists with their misguided zeal. These are the people who need to

understand more and more about the grace of our Lord. Now look, if you will, please, in verse 14.

I'm going to just jump right into the middle of a sentence.

It's speaking of Jesus, and this is what it says,

who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from all iniquity

and purify unto himself a peculiar people zealous of good works
