Grace For the Sinful
One of my greatest anticipations is some glorious day being in a place where there will be no boasting, no name-dropping, no selfishness. Guess where it will be? Heaven.

Bonus
Everyone who hopes to be eternally justified must come to God the same way: on the basis of grace; it is a gift. And that gift comes to us absolutely free. Any other view of salvation is heresy, plain and simple.
Grace Unlimited
My plea is that we not limit grace to Christ. We, too, can learn to be just as gracious as He. And since we can, we must, not only in our words and in great acts of compassion and understanding but in small ways as well.
Grace: A Many Splendored Thing
Remarkable, the freedom and release it brought. And it came in full force from the only One on earth who had unlimited power, the Son of God.
Understanding Grace
The late pastor and Bible scholar Donald Barnhouse perhaps said it best: "Love that goes upward is worship; love that goes outward is affection; love that stoops is grace."
The Power of Grace
Freedom gives people a "Yes" face. I am confident Jesus had a "Yes" face. I have never seen Him, but I've determined from what I've read about Him that this was true.
Claiming the Package
Read Galatians 6:1
Dear brothers and sisters, if another believer is overcome by some sin, you who are godly should gently and humbly help that person back onto the right path. And be careful not to fall into the same temptation yourself. (Galatians 6:1)
Heroes
Read Hebrews 11:16
Like silent shadows, the heroes of the faith pass beside us, pointing us toward the upward way, whispering words of courage.
The memory of all those models of righteousness now gone from view puts needed steel in our spirit, prompting us to press forward, always forward.
The legacy of their powerful presence and penetrating pages adds depth to our otherwise superficial existence.
Because their convictions live on in words that challenge today's shallow thinking, we do not—we dare not—remain the same.
Ragged Rocks of Adversity
Read Job 1–2, 42
Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know that you can do anything, and no one can stop you. You asked, ‘Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorance?’ It is I—and I was talking about things I knew nothing about, things far too wonderful for me.
You said, ‘Listen and I will speak! I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.’
I had only heard about you before, but now I have seen you with my own eyes. I take back everything I said, and I sit in dust and ashes to show my repentance.” (Job 42:1–6)
Intrusions
Read Romans 3
For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. Yet God, in His grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. (Romans 3:23–24)
