Experiencing Grace


This commentary is a work in progress so you will have to check back periodically to hear what the Lord is showing us about His grace. My awesome wife Monique will be sharing from time to time too, as God is doing some profound healing in her heart as she is discovering His grace. I know this is a realm He wants all people to experience. My fear is that many folks are living in something other than the grace of Jesus Christ, and thus are experiencing bondage in some form or another. This fact leads me to prayer.

What is grace? Webster's dictionary provides several definitions, here a couple; 1. disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency 2. a special favor

I've also heard the words, unmerited favor given to us by God through the substitutionary death of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary for my sins.

By faith I can choose to receive the gift of grace and experience love, forgiveness and acceptance.

Ephesians 2: 8-9 -> God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

Our blog entries in the coming weeks will express how we are experiencing God's grace and living in a realm that is available to everyone. Please feel free to post your comments.
