Grace is the topic that every Christian needs to understand, because Grace uniquely distinguishes the Christian faith from every other religion in the world. Our understanding the works of Grace, and our living the life of Grace can transform our Christian life.
We usually simplify Grace to stand for God’s unconditional love. But it is actually much more than that.

Pentecost 3A; Proper 7; 6/25/2017

There is a tension in the Gospel lesson. Jesus has told us that he and the Father are one; and we are one with them; one body among those who have made the decision to follow him. In the reading today he says that he comes to set father against son – between those who decide to follow, and those who decide not to follow Jesus. This is Jesus’ call to make a decision about what we do about him.
