Greetings.

Welcome to The Biblical Matrix.

It is my sincere desire that God be honored by everything that is said and accomplished on this blog. I believe that the Scriptures clearly teach that it is God's desire to make Himself known. If we do not see or understand the truth of God the fault is not His, but ours. Through The Biblical Matrix may we all get to know Him better.

Cheap Grace

During some study time today I was reacquainted with this quote and it provoked some serious thought: Cheap grace is the grace we bestow on ourselves. Cheap grace is the preaching of forgiveness without requiring repentance, baptism without church discipline, Communion without confession. Cheap grace is grace without discipleship, grace without the cross, grace without Jesus Christ, living and incarnate. Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

The part that particularly grabbed me today was the idea of grace without discipleship. The Biblical price of discipleship is one that a lot of folks don't want to pay. being accountable has been equated with being vulnerable, and who wants that? Anyway, just passing it on ...
