Not Fending For Yourself

More letters and an experience Brad’s family had over Thanksgiving puts the spotlight on how religion makes us fend for ourselves and grace invites us to live inside of him. Living in that place of freedom, however, can mean different things to different people. Grace is not an excuse to live in bondage and call it freedom, but it is an invitation into transformation. Too many people grow easily discouraged in that space between learning to let go of our religious efforts and finding the freedom to live in love and trust.
