    Since I'm Saved By Grace, Can’t I Do Anything I Want? Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 22, 2024
     | 964 views

    Can you think of someone who says they are a Christian but treats obeying God as optional? Many Americans hear about the cross and God’s grace and automatically believe they can do whatever they want.

    In the parable of the vineyard and the "rejected cornerstone of Christ", we see how an ever near and patient God reveals himself in Creation and redemption -- working through the Holy Spirit to keep us from rejecting him.

    It would seem the vineyard image is appropriate for this time of year. I’ve read that the Napa Valley is expecting a great crush this year. In Amador County, here in California, there is weekend tasting and festivities in honor of the harvest vintage. Maybe some of our people are there right ...read more
