Christian Principles – Grace Sets the Heart on Fire For Jesus
In the world there is great argument concerning where stands grace versus where stands works. Notice that I have said “in the world”.

The Christian Life & Women’s IssuesWhen faced with difficult life circumstances, we are called to submit to God’s wisdom and authority and recognize our own insufficiency. It is true that scripture does not provide explicit answers for each and every situation, so while God’s normative method of self-disclosure is not through audible voice, studying God’s word is necessary to develop a biblical worldview that will enable godly reflection in the absence of obvious solutions. Trusting God in the midst of any degree of crisis is probably one of the the greatest challenges to living the Christian life.
