The Revolution of Grace

a Jesus thought...
"But if you just use my words in Bible studies and don't work them into your life, you are like a stupid carpenter who built his house on the sandy beach. When a storm rolled in and the waves came up, it collapsed like a house of cards." (Matthew 7:26-27)

a Godly thought...
The life of discipleship can only be maintained so long as nothing is allowed to come between Christ and ourselves. (p154 Bonhoeffer)

a leading thought...
Nehemiah was able to function both as a task specialist and a socio-emotional expert, and leaders today also need to play both these roles to be highly effective. (p57 Barber)

a Dave thought...
Last night I attended the Order 614 graduation dinner. As the remaining eight members received their certificates it was fascinating to hear some of the stories and experiences they have been through this year.

During the evening Dr Reverend David Wilson gave an address title the Revolution of Grace, which was based on Matthew 9,10 & 11. He highlighted verses from the message translation about "going to the lost confused people right here in the neighbourhood'' and encouraged the order graduates on how they were fulfilling scripture by the way they had ministered 24/7 in the the city of Melbourne. He concluded with the thought that if you keep company with God you'll learn to live freely & lightly and to help one person at a time is all that Jesus requires from us. David shared with us that all Jesus required of us is to give a glass of water to a person that is thirsty, so lets live simply so others can simply live.

Just a thought.
