Well said.

And the grace of God says something well about God that frankly, a lot of us — God forgive us — do not want.

Out of pride in ourselves (and fear of our shame if it were any other way) we want it to be said on our epitaph that we earned our way to heaven. Nobody’s epitaph will say that. Christ’s cross says, however, that He earned our way to heaven.

The game becomes far simpler now. Accept the grace in such a way to use it better and better, and it has the promised results. This is the explosive good news of evangelism.

People don’t really want salvation until they have, at the least, undergone some amount of persuasion. They’re proud. They want that epitaph. But we humans are fools to think in such a manner.

Trump is only a mortal like the rest of us, but more and more he seems to bear the mark of the Lord on his life, a life that hardly even bothered to intersect with things religious until very recent days. I believe the Lord has something cooking here.
