So our goal is to see the grace that we've experienced in a relationship with God lived out in works that are expressions of thanks and evidence of a changed/changing heart. How are we doing? I'm frankly a little afraid that 'doing' GraceWorks on the 19th of April will be a one and done deal and that folks will wonder when we are going to do something neat like that again. My prayer and passion is that God would use us in His world on a daily basis for His glory and the good of people, through our love for Jesus. I'm envisioning this as a time of spiritual cataract surgery. The lenses of our eyes have clouded over so badly that we simply can't see the world around us as it really is. We can't see (or very poorly see) the hurt and brokenness around us and we continue on with our busy lives.
Wouldn't our Lord want us to be about restoring the shalom/peace of community in our world? We can only do this partially and even that is by HIS power and grace work in us as a community, but we can, as the people of God be used in God's world for good! In fact we must, if we are to be true followers of Jesus Christ, walk as Jesus walked.
