I am leaving behind a denomination that leaned far to the legalistic side. They paid lip service to salvation by grace but many of them got around it by saying you had to make Jesus your Lord... which was code for "work your way to salvation." Thanks for keeping the gospel simple even if it is risky. It is refreshing to hear the gospel being preached in an unvarnished fashion.

I vividly remember thinking (before salvation) that Christians had the ultimate "out" since God would always forgive them for their bad behaviors. How incredibly wrong I was about God's grace. When I accepted Jesus I soon realized that I would never want to purposely sin because it would grieve Him so very much. So, yes, He forgives me but He also has given His grace so that I am convicted when I sin and want to depend more and more on Him. Thanks for always keeping the gospel the "main thing".
