This blog’s name comes from Oswald Chambers’ Studies in the Sermon on the Mount. He writes:
Jesus Christ came to make the great laws of God incarnate in human life; that is the miracle of God’s grace. We are to be written epistles, “known and read of all men.” There is no room whatever in the New Testament for the man who says he is saved by grace but who does not produce the graceful goods. Jesus Christ by His Redemption can make my actual life in keeping with my religious profession. [emphasis added]
I chose this phrase — the graceful goods — for two reasons: one, it alliterates, and I like that; more importantly, it captures what I’m after in my life and in this forum: learning for myself and helping others to learn how to produce the graceful goods that should be the overflow of a life of faith.
