2007-05-20 Lead with Grace
from Spiritual Wisdom from Old Guys Hosted by Dave DeVries
What takes relationships beyond just connection to the next level? What message did Jesus bring about God? Most Christians, if asked how God sees them, wouldn't say "God is for me." Yet Jesus came with exactly that message, even saying "Father, forgive them" while being crucified. Grace is Christianity's most radical doctrine because it offers identity not based on behavior (which always fails) but on undeserved favor freely given. Discover why the entire Old Testament economy of "if you obey, I'll bless you" was designed to fail and drive people to grace, why brotherly love differs from attraction-based relationships, and how leading with grace (even when it feels like dying) is what actually converts hearts—just as God's grace converted yours.
