“So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free,
and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law” 
Galatians 5:1 (NLT)  

A friend recommended this book to me a few years ago.  So, in preparation for the current series on the Gospel of Grace from Galatians I read it.   What I liked about it is that the author (a very, very successful pastor) and his wife were both preaching and teaching Grace, but were living in anger and stress and discord.  They weren’t living in freedom of God’s Grace which is at the core of the Gospel.  In fact one day his wife simply announced that she was quitting the church he was pastoring.  And she did!  She just left.   She couldn’t stand his leadership any more.    

Through a long process of facing their inner unconverted selves, they met God and the Gospel and Grace and have emerged as people who have actually learned not just to be saved by Grace, but to live by Grace.   I highly recommend the book and also the small group series based on the book which chronicles their experience of finally entering into the grip of Grace.  

For now I encourage you to go to our website www.clcfamily.net  and download the Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Inventory.   Once you complete the inventory you will have discovered some places within you where Grace has more to work to do in order to set you free to live a life animated and revitalized by Grace. Remember Paul’s advice to Timothy (4:7), “take the time and trouble to keep yourselves spiritually fit."
