Talking about grace

Grace, as I am sure I have mentioned before, is one of my favourite words and also one of my favourite things. It is one of the few theologically significant words in common use which has yet to be significantly debased. Grace, graceful, and gracious still retain their positive connotations in our culture.

This Sunday’s epistle lesson, 1 Corinthians 1:1-9, got me thinking about grace and what it might mean in the church; both the Church and the church I was preaching in. Grace is always worth talking about that is what we did.

If you are able and inclined, let me know what you think about this week’s “grace talk.”
