Show #33: Grace is the secret to living this Christian life. Once you really understand the new covenant it will revolutionize your Christian life. If we don't understand grace we will try every new trend or fad to achieve victory in our life and that's simply a dead end. Law makes us sin conscious while grace makes us God conscious. Don't miss this one...stop seeking that one more thing you think will make life work. God's grace "in Christ" is your victory and your very life. no 30:16 http://www.FreeNHim.org Mike Quarles (FreedFrom@BellSouth.net) & Vernon Terrell (vterrell@FreeNHim.org) Wed, 18 Oct 2006 16:11:58 -0400 32-law-and-grace-revisited Mike Quarles & Vernon Terrell Show #32: Law and Grace is the most misunderstood Christian concept today.

Show #31: In this Christian life there is really on one thing that is essential. This broadcast we look at Luke 10: 38-42 where Martha was upset at Mary for not helping her out and Jesus makes an amazing statement..."only one thing is needed".
