Welcome!

This is a community for those who are discovering that grace is more than forgiveness, more than being real about our mess. Grace is the staggering gift of a restored heart -- a good and noble heart. You are more than you think.

On THE GOOD & NOBLE HEART Community, you can connect with others who get it: who understand that Christianity is about the heart; not about spiritual heaviness and pressure to be a better Christian. The message of Jesus is about a restored, supernaturally-good and noble heart.

Go connect!

Hi Fadeke -- so true. There's a lot of zeal without knowledge -- operating on wrong assumptions about Jesus' offer and apprenticeship in his kingdom.

Exactly, David. If we only knew we were so thoroughly delighted-in, we wouldn't have any need for pride.

Let us believe God to do the 'impossible'.Really considering the extent the church has gone into religion,one would wonder whether the church would ever embrace the naked gospel but like our Father Abraham,let us hope against hope for we have many...

Don't you just love how people love to puff one another up and make being a believer about earning brownie points? All I think of when I hear this is the scriptural warning about seating yourself at the head of the table ... and then being asked t...

Hey David, when I was in the "professional ministry" way back when (ugh), we even hired a church growth consultant who wrote a book called, Growing Spiritual Redwoods. Mega-church mania.

Hey Frank -- There are those who consider boredom next to godliness, I guess.

Hey Mark - although I get people's frustration with Christ getting lost in Christmas, we really misunderstand the completely pagan (but not necessarily evil) roots of the holiday.

How 'bout... "They're a spiritual giant..."
