"Real and Free"

What's real, free, answers every problem, surprises us, is all we need and so many other things???

It's the grace of God! I Corinthians 15:10 says, "But by the grace of God I am what I am and His grace toward me was not in vain...." As we reflect on the events of 2009 and look forward to 2010, those of us who understand who we are in God's economy, not the world system, can say, "BY THE GRACE OF GOD I AM WHAT I AM!" It is His grace that has brought us safe thus far and His grace will lead us home. His grace is amazing and it is greater than all our sins! It has to be greater than our sin or we couldn't be saved by it. His grace draws us, saves us, keeps us, promotes us, and strengthens us.

In this coming New Year, let us be aware of and sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit and hear His voice over the din of the world. As we hear and do His will, we ensure that His grace towards us is not in vain. Let us live our lives to honor Him and through His blood which sanctifies us let us renounce the sins that bind us. Let us be strengthened by His Word and sent forward by His Spirit into a world that is dying for lack of the knowledge that He has given us.

Happy New Year to all my friends and family.
