How God Treats Sinners
Robert Walker
Titus 2:11
When Billy Graham was driving through a small southern town, he was stopped by a policeman and charged with speeding. Graham admitted his quilt, but was told by the officer that he would have to appear in court.
The judge asked, "Guilty, or not guilty?" When Graham pleaded guilty, the judge replied, "That'll be ten dollars -- a dollar for every mile you went over the limit."

He took a ten dollar bill from his own wallet, attached it to the ticket, and then took Graham out and bought him a steak dinner! "That," said Billy Graham, "is how God treats repentant sinners!"

Amazing Grace written by John Newton is the song of every blood brought, redeemed child of God.
Once I was blind but now by the grace of God, the Amazing, wonderful grace of God I see!
Grace has been defined in many ways but I think it can be define by three big words.
The first word is justice. Justice is God giving us what we do deserve. Friend don't demand to be given justice for if you do you will die and go to hell.
The next word is mercy. Mercy is God not giving us what we deserve. And that is the glorious news of the gospel. We don't have to go to hell.
The next word is grace. God is God giving us what we don't deserve. He gives us His love. He gives us His fullness. He gives us His forgiveness. His ri ...
