An Ill-deserving living sacrificial favor from our Lord Jesus Christ.
Grace is the favor we receive on the treachery we commit despite already been forgiven.
Grace fuels forgiveness; enables compassion; consumes love; and furthers the Kingdom.
It is by grace, through faith that we have been saved; a gift not a paycheck; purposefully not pitifully.

Could it be that as a people we have summarized and culturized Worship into music alone?
I look through the lens of my life and ask the question that no one including myself wants to ask, do I worship God? Is my identity in the working of the church or in the working of my job or is it in the person and work of Jesus alone?
You see, I will worship what I am passionate about and I can tell you that my time in worship of my Lord is a struggle.
I, like you, whether you like it or not, can plainly see through all His things; evidences of His work; the soundtrack of the gospel in His people; blind people seeing; dead people living.
And I think about what I see and ask if I really see; the gospel is true.

We are receiving a kingdom that is unshakeable; a kingdom of His creation, but are we shakeable?
The power and majesty of His voice has spoken; the power of His kingdom cannot be shaken; it will not be shaken; there will be no other dispensation; are we shakeable?
Jesus speaks through this writers telling us the canon of scripture is now perfected, the Spirit of prophecy has ceased, the mystery of God is finished, He has put his last hand to it.
The church may continue to grow, the church may continue to be more prosperous, but it shall not be altered for another exemption; those who perish under the gospel perish without remedy.
It is through His work on the cross that we see him intricately at work in the lives of His creation; the fear of the Lord; reverence and awe like mary who used her hair like a wash rag to wash the feet of Jesus; giving up so much for this Jesus; could it be that her reverence was a sign that she had seen this Nazarene as the Christ?
Our God in Christ deals with us graciously and kindly, but is a consuming fire; faithful and true; just and righteous; the sacrifice for our sin; the beauty of justice beyond what was seen when the law was given.
May we taste his goodness and kindness; a kindness that leads us to repentance; for there will be a day where it will be too late; my friends repent and by grace let us worship God.
