GraceNotes: Persistent Grace (November 30, 2018)

Is there a force in this wide universe more powerful or more patient than the grace of God? Name it if you can: I don’t know of it. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, what but our obstinate and persistent refusal could keep Him from clothing us, the objects of His everlasting love, with the spotless robe of Jesus’ perfect righteousness? Unless we refuse Him, and all He’s offering, He will bring us to the banquet hall of grace and plenty. There is a holy grip in grace that outlasts our worst sins and our best deeds. Nothing other than the exercise of our choice can keep Jesus from the exercise of His grace. So stay in grace. -Bill Knott

Digging Deeper: The Creation Story (December 2018)

Nothing on earth has ever been as beautiful as God’s beginnings; nothing as pure; as whole, healthy and inspiring with vigor to the body and clarity to the mind. Eden was His masterwork, inclusive of the man and woman He put there as its first managers; inclusive of their work and Sabbath rest schedule He instituted from the start. Today, despite sin’s unimaginable ruin, we can learn of true beauty and grow back to wholeness by giving attention to mental and practical reminders around us, holy gifts and actions of the flawless yesterday, that His grace continues to inspire and sustain.

GraceNotes: Gratitude and Grace (November 23, 2018)

Thankfulness is all about our expectations. So long as we think we deserve to be healthy—physically, financially—and that a sick body or an empty wallet is an injustice done to us, we’ll never feel all that grateful when God heals us. If God owes it to us to make and keep us healthy and wealthy, why should we thank Him for it? But if we grasp the deep sacredness of living—that every moment is a gift from the Father’s hand—then everything in us will sing of everything God is doing for us. Every illness overcome; every bank account that didn’t run dry; every wounded relationship healed is a special act of grace. We deserved none of these good things: we’ve been given all these good things. “O Lord, open my lips, and my mouth will declare Your praise” (Ps 51:5). So stay in gratitude—and grace. -Bill Knott

GraceNotes: Grace Beyond Fear (November 16, 2018)

Fear grips our hearts whenever we assume that all our happiness depends on us. We know our brokenness too well: the foolish choices; missed opportunities; the coldness and the distance caused by hot, close things we’ve said. Unless we’re truly loved in spite of all we’ve done, fear is the natural response to what seems painful randomness. But grace proclaims a holiday from fear—not for an hour or a day, but for as long as we allow ourselves to be surrounded—yes, and held—by never-ending love. Grace is God’s reassuring answer to the question mark of fear. “I have loved you with an everlasting love,” He says. “I have drawn you with unfailing kindness” (Jer 31:2-3). Believe His love. And stay in grace. -Bill Knott

GraceNotes: Grace and Clarity (November 9, 2018)

Some suppose grace represents a certain casualness in God about what we’ve done—a blessed amnesia that ignores our waywardness.  “He moves the lines,” we tell ourselves, as though the One who authored the commandments wasn’t fully serious about them. But the Father sees our faults so clearly that it is only by looking at His Son that He can choose—yes, choose—to unremember what we’ve done.  It’s the love He has for Jesus—and for all who likewise love the Saviour—that moves unblinking vigilance to sweep away the record of our sins. The charity of the Father’s heart results from the clarity of the Father’s vision:  in grace, we are both fully known and deeply loved. So stay in grace.  -Bill Knott
