To Lend Each Other A Hand When

Let Us Be Bold Enough To Ask Ourselves As Christians Whether The Church Of The Lord Jesus In The United States Has Anything To Say To Our Nation And Its Ideologies Of Materialism, Possessiveness, And The Worship Of Financial Security. Are We Courageous Enough To Be A Sign Of Contradiction To Consumerism Through Our Living Faith In Jesus Christ? Are We Committed Enough To His Gospel To Become A Countercurrent To The Drift?

Our Huffing And Puffing To Impress God, Our Scrambling For Brownie Points, Our Thrashing About Trying To Fix Ourselves While Hiding Our Pettiness And Wallowing In Guilt Are Nauseating To God And Are A Flat Denial Of The Gospel Of Grace.

I Could More Easily Contain Niagara Falls In A Teacup Than I Can Comprehend The Wild, Uncontainable Love Of God.

Too Many Christians Are Living In A House Of Fear And Not In The House Of Love.

To Live By Grace Means To Acknowledge My Whole Life Story, The Light Side And The Dark. In Admitting My Shadow Side I Learn Who I Am And What God's Grace Means.
