Grace ... it's not just for beginners.
I saw this quote somewhere yesterday and have been thinking about it off and on. I wonder if this is part of our problem as a church. We don't see grace as an ongoing experience that we both recieve and act upon. But rather it is so tied to the concept of salvation that we don't look for it beyond that experience. Sometimes I'll acknowledge it in small things of life, a smile , a kind word, a short line when I'm in a hurry, or not. I don't want to dismiss these, but somehow I can easily miss grace or don't anticipate it in the boarder world.
P. Yancey in his book said as he talked to people about church, no one, not one, talked about church as being a place of grace. Isn't that sad, maybe worse isn't that condemnation of us?
