"All of the sin in the world is as a live coal in the sea of God's grace."

As we wrap up our discussions on God's grace and moral boundaries, I have been reminded of the equalizer that is God's grace. No one deserves grace more than another. My sins do not need more or less grace than someone else's sin. Just because there are no websites tracking the location of complusive liars, gossipers, disrespectful people...or any "lesser" sins, does not make us any more deserving of God's grace than the criminals who are tracked online.

When we realize this we need to be willing to extend grace to those around us. I'm excited that God allows us to reach out to those around us, and that his grace frees us to serve and love others.
