Pray for America’s Faith Community
“The Law does one thing. It points out what you do wrong. And Paul tells us then in Galatians, that it does it so well that we get frustrated and realize we can’t do this, and that’s what brings us to Christ. … The Law tells us how to live in a harmonious, peaceful society and how to have a good life on this earth. But that’s all it can do. … The Law cannot justify. The Law cannot empower. Grace can justify and empower. … [Grace will] change everything about the way you live. It’ll change the way you look at God. It’ll change the way you look at others. And it’ll change the way you even see yourself. … Love is the most powerful governing force in the world. Not law. Love.“ – Pastor Robert Morris, Gateway Church, March 2024
