grace

I'm sitting on a committee that deals with ministers who have fallen morally. The goal is to restore them personally and eventually help them back into to ministry as well. As we walk through these situations, the amount of grace given to these individuals is in direct proportion to their heart of repentance and truly owning the wrong they have done. Grace flows through humility.

I read a book that talked about grace being to a church, what oil is to an engine. This is so true. At C3, we have discussed with our leaders about always giving the benefit of doubt to everyone. In other words, always extend grace. When you have several people working together, there will always be friction and the friction needs to be covered in the oil of grace for things to run smooth. I think the much of time, how much grace a person extends to another, shows their level of spiritual maturity.
