THIS world is "a sorry state of affairs", isn't it? Where does a person begin and end with an hypothesis?? Listened to the hour World News tonight and many Countries are suffering from a deplorable lack of colour. Let's face it - it's sorrowful; sad. There is severe trouble causing the mental pain of fatigue or want.
WHAT about man's greed (covetousness)? AVARICE. That's how wars begin. Many cases are even lamentable. WHERE is an honest mandate that represents genuine truth and prosperity? In THIS world - it's greed!
THIS view is "just a drop in the ocean", so to speak, BUT I find all the before-mentioned to be depreciating.

*** ~ GRACE !! ~ ***
WHAT makes Christianity different from all the other religions of the world? Years ago that very question was discussed at a conference. Some of the participants argued that Christianity is unique in teaching that God became man. But someone objected, saying that other religions teach similar doctrines. What about the resurrection? No, it was argued, other faiths believe that the dead rise again. The discussion grew heated.
C.S. Lewis, a strong defender of Christianity, came in late, sat down, and asked, "What's the rumpus about?" When he learned that it was a debate about the uniqueness of Christianity, he immediately commented, "Oh, that's easy. It's grace."
How right he was! The very heart of the gospel is the supreme truth that God accepts us with no conditions whatever when we put our trust in the atoning sacrifice of His incarnate Son. Although we are helplessly sinful, God in grace forgives us completely. It's by His infinite grace that we are saved, not by moral character, works of righteousness, commandment-keeping, or churchgoing. When we do nothing else but accept God's total pardon, we receive the guarantee of eternal life (Ti. 3:4-7).
Good news indeed. What a gospel! What a Saviour! - VCG
Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You who are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive? - Johnston
By grace you have been saved. - Ephesians 2:8
GRACE IS EVERYTHING FOR NOTHING TO THOSE WHO DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING
