Contributed by Brad Henry on Aug 9, 2011

David’s cup overflowed because of NOTHING he did. His cup overflowed because of what God did through him. God chose David. There was not anything David could have done to earn this spot. No amount of chasing will get the job done if God is not in it.

"Growing In Grace Together”

Contributed by Austin Calder on Apr 21, 2020

Grace is a terribly misunderstood word and defining it sufficiently is very difficult. Some of the most detailed theology textbooks do not offer any concise definition of the term. Someone came up with this acronym: GRACE is God’s---Riches--- At---Christ’s---Expense.

That’s not a bad way to characterize grace. One of the best-known definitions of grace is only three words: God’s unmerited favor. A. W. Tozer expanded on that idea by saying, “Grace is the good pleasure of God that allows him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.” The key word in what have ...read more
