If you ask me, the church needs a whole lot more grace…
““If you ask me, the church needs a whole lot more grace addicts because grace has a name, and the name is Jesus. There are people in any church who will drive to the worst part of the city and risk their well-being to get a harmful fix. We see these stories in the news. These beautiful, smart, amazing kids in our city end up dead on the side of the road from a heroin overdose. Housewives are living double lives—alive at church, but dead in their addictions to painkillers. Businessmen are living lives of shame—present at a men’s breakfast at their church, but harboring infidelity on the side. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you come from, people will do the craziest things to get their drugs. The answer to all this is to become addicted to Jesus.””
