Melting Into Grace

By Rev. Rebecca Grogan, Minister of Adult Education

I don’t know about you, but I’m beyond tired of the hot weather. I am no hypocrite though; you’ll also hear me whining about the cold weather. I find this to be the pinnacle of the human condition. We have a hard time with contentment. 

The world doesn’t help us much. As Christians we are supposed to “be like Jesus.” That isn’t reflected in the news, social media, and our political system … much less how strangers are treated and those different from us. 

 So, what does that mean to us? That means as Christians, we must take a stand. Not by “drawing a line in the sand” kinda stand, but within us to not join in the world view. We must be humble in our stand, not self-righteous. We must remember that we believe in love. That doesn’t mean we have to be silent, but humble and loving if we have to respond. 

 If you are participating in a Sunday morning class, you’ve probably heard this. If you go to worship on a regular basis, you’ve probably heard this. But now, now, we need to practice what we’ve learned. Grace is how we know God to be. Let grace in your life be your witness.
