                    Grace or Permission?
You're worried about permissiveness—about the way the preaching of grace seems to say it's okay to do all kinds of terrible things as long as you just walk in afterward and take the free gift of God's forgiveness.
While you and I may be worried about seeming to give

                    Let’s do a math problem.  If a sheep was tethered to a pole on a rope that was 25 feet long, how many square feet would he have to graze?   p r²  .  Let’s begin by squaring 25, we end up with 625. Multiplying by an approximation of p  as 3.14, we end up with 1,962.5 square feet.

Things that compete with peace are like the weeds competing with your flowers to dominate the space, nutrients, sunlight, water and character of your garden or lawn.
Weeds so easily spread, multiply and thrive because they are at their best when they are most shallow.  You see, most

                    KNOWING GOD, HEARING GOD
God has not bowed to our nervous haste nor embraced the methods of our machine age.  The man who would know God must give time to Him.

Jesus' lonely cry of, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!" is a desperate cry of loneliness. I believe this was the worst and the most horrible part of the crucifixion for Jesus. I believe it was worst than the beatings, the betrayal of Judas, the desertion of the disciples,
