Sometimes, it’s hard to see God’s grace at work in our complicated world. All we have to do is take one look at news headlines to be overwhelmed with sadness, confusion, and frustration at the state of our world.
Let’s face it — it’s hard to live as Jesus did in our time and culture, and it’s easy to long for the good old days of the New Testament church.
But here’s the kicker. The culture and the church were just as crazy then as they are today—rampant sexual immorality, racial prejudice, social and economic segregation, and arguments and divisions over favorite spiritual leaders.
Sound familiar?
The apostle Paul addressed many of these issues in his letters to the church in Corinth, known to us as 1 and 2 Corinthians. His first letter to the church contained this life-changing truth: the heartbeat and lifeblood of the Christian life is grace.
Crazy Grace for Crazy Times, a 6-session study by Derwin Gray, provides a clear and compelling path to the kind of grace that leads to compassionate ministry and influential witness, even on the margins of life.
And today, we’re celebrating Friday by giving away 5 Crazy Grace for Crazy Times Bible Study Books! To enter, click here.
