"I won't get into the works vs grace debate though. I've discussed and talked about it ad nauseum on this religious forum, doesn't seem to make a bit of difference what we LDS say. Talk to you all later."

I want to go back and read those threads, since I got involved with the Religion forum after that thread was dried up.

Just something I've been thinking about, though. Most of the time, it seems that most of the sermons about the (evangelical) meaning of grace (as God's free, unmerited gift) are taken from texts written by Paul (like from Ephesians, Romans, Galatians, etc.)
Many, many of Jesus' parables also reflect this meaning of grace, and I find meditating on Jesus' parables in this light is very beneficial.

And I believe Paul's words also and have studied them over the years. This next year (2003) we are studying the New Testament in Sunday School. We studied the Old Testament in 2002.
