"and if the world caved in around me, to you i'd still hold on. 'cause you're all that i believe. you're the one who created me Jesus, because of you. i'm free..." - free , hillsongs The Cost (What's so amazing about grace?) Philip Yancey In the movie The Last Emperor, the young child anointed as the last emperor of China lives in a magical life of luxury with a thousand enunch servants at his command. "What happens when you do wrong?" his brother asks. "When i do wrong, someone else is punished," the boy emperor replies. To demonstrate, he breaks a jar, and one of the servants is beaten. In Christian theology, Jesus reversed that ancient pattern : when the servants erred, the King was punished. Grace is free only because the giver himself has borne the cost.

".........................(matthew 7:24-29...about the house built upon the rock and blah)... then came the storm. in every life what we've built is subject to raging winds and rising floods. they will come. Christ warns that the only indestructible house is the one built upon the rock of His teachings. the strength of our houses is not dependent upon on salvation. it's not dependent on our faith. it's dependent upon our willingness to live according to God's word........." -Beth Moore's "Whispers of Hope" ok. that's like, the only thing that's short enough for me to type. i
