Hi! I just started this new channel, and will upload new videos as I have time.
The main focus of this channel will be sharing videos of God's limitless grace in people's lives through people's testimonies - how they came to Christ, and/or how God brought healing into their lives and gave them a "second chance". I will also feature some music videos, because I love music!
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you enjoy the videos I have for now.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jer. 29:11

What's so amazing about grace? Well, the Bible says that "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8Religion is an attempt to establish man's righteousness as the ground of acceptance with God. Christianity, where it imitates religion, attempts to blend our righteousness with His. Galatians 2:21 argues that if man could produce a righteousness of his own, Christ would have died for nothing. It's that simple! Christ died because man is completely helpless and unable to save himself, so complete is his ruin. Think how cruel it would have been for God the Father to send God the Son to Calvary if something less than the death of Christ could save us! And, how foolish! But God uses the cross of Calvary to demonstrate His genius. Men, even religious men, ridicule the crosswork of Christ when it is presented to them as all that is necessary for salvation. Man rejects grace. It is an affront to his ego. It destroys his pride. It leaves him "hat-in-hand" at a cross where God refuses to recognize anything man thinks he has to offer. Man brings nothing to Calvary. Salvation is there, but it is a salvation wholly of God. Man has nothing to do with it. And grace is the proof of this. Grace is the hard part in salvation---what God has done. Faith is the easy part---what we are to "do". When I believe that Christ died for my sins, I do the only thing that I can do without doing anything.
Man means many things by grace; God means one thing, infinite generosity. In Romans 11:6, God says, "And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work." Nothing could be plainer than this. Grace and works, as a means of approaching God, are mutually exclusive. If I approach God on the grounds of my works, grace is out of the picture. When I approach Him on the grounds of His grace, then works are nowhere to be found. I cannot mix these two, because He does not!
The Law was system of limits. When man went beyond the Law, he died. "The soul that sins shall die." When a Jew committed adultery, the Law demanded his death. Grace is not a system of limits. Grace did not overlook sin, but dealt with it fully and finally at the cross. There Christ satisfied the demands of the Law in their entirety: for those condemned by the Law because they were under it and broke it, and for those condemned because they were shut out by it, and lawless.
Sin brings death, but Another has died in my place. Christ tasted death for me, spiritual death, and now I do not have to taste it. God has not compromised His integrity in saving sinners. Our debt has been paid fully, though not by us, but by Another. He not only died on my behalf but also in my stead. This is grace, and there is no limit here. God becoming man, without ceasing to be God, and dying for His enemies is grace, and it is all the grace that could ever be.
God's grace doesn't come in pounds or in gallons. It is not a quantity, but a quality. It is His very nature expressing itself in attitude and action. It reveals God's response toward those who have wronged Him. It is the way in which He exercises love without compromising justice.
Man's sin can never diminish God's grace. Many have taught that man can push God too far and, in so doing, put himself beyond the reach of grace. It is true that "now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation," but this does not limit grace. It simply limits the time allotted to man to respond to God's offer. It is as easy for God to save the worst of sinners today as it is to save the best of them, because the Son of God took the judgment of both on His cross.
