The Graciousness Spectrum Series

Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Nov 3, 2014

We humans and yes, we believers, are not all good or bad, black or white. We exist on a spectrum; at one end is Christlikeness, graciousness, truth, love. On the other end is self-centeredness, withholding of grace, compromised truth, and control.

Life From The Son

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

Hosea’s Risky Love, Part 2

Contributed by Amiri Hooker on Aug 1, 2022

In the days the past, the clarion call and mission of the black church was two-fold: it served as a beacon of hope for the lost-soul seeking grace and mercy, but it also functioned as an oasis for all issues affecting the community. BMCR is That for the United Methodist Church
