Community is the tool Christ uses to shape us. It is the furnace in which we are refined. It is the mirror of our soul that God uses to transform us.
Grace may be frequently misunderstood, but it is grace nevertheless…
17 And now I make one more appeal, my dear brothers and sisters. Watch out for people who cause divisions and upset people’s faith by teaching things contrary to what you have been taught. Stay away from them. 18 Such people are not serving Christ our Lord; they are serving their own personal interests. By smooth talk and glowing words they deceive innocent people.
Romans 16:17-18 (NLT)
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.Psalm 51:3-4 (NIV)
17 My sacrifice, O God, is[b] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.Psalm 51:17 (NIV)
