    Grace, Grace God's Grace Grace that will pardon and cleanse within Grace, Grace God's Grace Grace that is greater than all my sin Julia H. Johnston, 1910, Public Domain Grace. Almost indescribable.  God's grace began with eternal life, given to us with Jesus' resurrection, and He showers grace on us each day through the Holy Spirit who lives within us.

    For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    I came across this and just couldn't resist. * Caveat: I'm not responsible for the grammar or the extensive use of "and." I stress this: This is NOT a real parable.

The Parable of the Good Samaritan… Read More

Remember rocking chairs and lullabies? But no one’s… Read More
