Do not abuse ‘grace’
from Pastor Mel
A few years back this term “greasy grace” was frequently thrown about in the Christian community.
It referred to the idea of God’s grace being abused like the bloke who goes out willfully sinning during the week, gets forgiveness from the priest at confession and then he’s off again.
Abuse of grace is certainly warned against in the Bible e.g. “Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves,” says 1Peter 2:16.
Similarly, Paul in Galatians 5:13 warns: “You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.”
The fact of the matter is we all fail as believers somewhere along the way, and we struggle to overcome bad habits, thoughts and actions, so we certainly need grace, which is central to Christian living.
Learning to live in that grace is a profound, ongoing spiritual experience, usually found when our focus is off ourselves and doing things to serve others, or when we are honest and open before God with our brokenness and seeking His help.
Until next time …
Thank you Michael. We have to be on guard and pray that Islam does not overrun Australia.Editor
Yes, thank our holy father God for his son Jesus Christ.
Sadly in Australia we have very few Christians. This is why our country is collapsing under the weight of satanism, atheism and the insanity it causes.
Proverbs chapter 1 explains the folly of madness and the evil of insanity.

Many people including many children, disabled, elderly continue suffering whilst the masses blindly follow the anti christ system that God said he is bringing too ruination.
