Grace doesn’t excuse the flesh, but cultivates the spirit. Very well put and a very good reminder.

I personally made a choice, a public choice, a personal decision in a NWYM church. In this Quaker church, there was an altar up front where I went to pray, and be prayed over, and made my decision to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. It was all part of the Sunday service, while a Quaker missionary woman was preaching. It is one of my favorite stories to tell. It was quite a day.......
