WISDOM FROM A CIR MEMBER I have to remember that the grace of God is extremely powerful... much more powerful than the lies of Satan. It is up to me to accept God's grace on a day by day, minute by minute basis. Grace is something I must willingly accept and stop trying to obtain. I can choose to live in His grace or in my own misery. ~Obie QUESTIONS ANSWERED Peer Pressure & Sin Grace Brings Context to Our Lives Are You a Bird on a String?
