Grace is a word that we normally associate today with ease and beauty of movement – a graceful dancer or ice-skater. Less commonly, we still use the term gracious to refer to someone who is respectful, gentle, and kind. In Christianity, however, the word has a quite different significance, and is, in fact, one of the key concepts that lead us to an understanding of who God is and how He relates to us (which is, after all, what the Bible is all about).

I remember how in my childhood years people would say, "That's a sin!" when someone said or did something that was improper or mischievous or vulgar. I have not heard that expression for many years. In fact, the word is virtually unknown today, and therefore misunderstood by the majority of people. However, as it is a key concept within Christianity it is vital that we understand not only what the word means but also what effect it has upon us all.

In my early years I used to write poetry all the time, but in recent days the muse has been more often absent than present. However, there are three poems that I think merit inclusion in this site. The first was written 5 years before I became a Christian, but demonstrates clearly that, although I had no interest in Christianity at that time, the Spirit of God was at work on me somewhere in the background. The other two were written more recently, with many years behind me of walking with God and the church.

This is my first "Article". It's not a subject that is central to the tenets of the Christian faith, but it is a subject that is of interest to a lot of people - myself included. So, I thought I'd better get it off my chest. As it's a controversial subject, you may well disagree with me in my interpretation of the Scriptures and the conclusions that I draw, but my policy has always been to take the Bible at face value unless there's a very good reason to do otherwise.

I have added the first "Topic" - "Repentance". In this lesson I deal with the primary entry-point into the Kingdom of God. If we miss this one, then our entry is barred. There is no way around this. There are no short-cuts. There are no alternatives. This primary gateway is the gateway called repentance.
