Does Grace Matter?

Does Grace Matter?

As I continue to look around me I wonder if “Grace” matters these days.  We live in a world where “earning your own way” is the norm, where being vulnerable and honest with ourselves that opens us up to what is said in Psam 51 – “Have mercy on me, O God…for I know my transgressions” is lost to a life of maintaining the image of perfection.  So in this world does an unconditional, accepting, forgiving grace matter?
