Wednesday's Words of Wisdom...Sean Lucas on our Blessings in Christ

"All the spiritual blessings we have come through and with Jesus. And yet, the greatest blessing that we receive through our union with Christ is not justification, not holiness, not glorification, not the spirit of adoption, not the spirit of prayer, not simply even the fact that God rejoices over us. Rather, the greatest blessing we receive is Jesus -- that we are united to him and enjoy communion with the living God in and through Him. He is our greatest blessing. He is our greatest delight."

What is Grace?

Grateful for Grace

"So the real question is whether we delight in and cherish the grace of God. Is our song, 'Grace, grace' from beginning to end? Do we magnify God's grace in our personal and corporate worship? With our children? In our world view? In the workplace? If every benefit we have comes from God's hand and choice, then we must be the most grateful people in the world."
