A Deeper 'Why?' - When It's No Longer Just About Me

A Deeper “Why?” by Ken Kutney IF OUR STORY HELPS ONE PERSON, WE ARE HAPPY.  Still acting like newlyweds when they moved west, Terry and Julia Ruegg settled into the quaint, historic fishing village of Steveston in B.C. We met at a summer church service on the beach. They eagerly engaged in the community life of our church, emphasizing authenticity, especially in the enrichment of married couples. As for their own marriage, after seven years it seemed that Terry and Julia were unable to have children.

Terry: When we found out we were  pregnant, we were shocked and scared. Good thing we had nine months to adjust! We became very excited about becoming parents.

"Cheap grace is the mortal enemy of our church. Our struggle today is for costly grace. Cheap grace means grace as bargain-basement goods, cut-rate forgiveness, cut-rate comfort, cut-rate sacraments; grace as the church’s inexhaustible pantry, from which it is doled out by careless hands without hesitation or limit. It is grace without a price, without cost… Cheap grace means grace as a doctrine, as principle, as system. It means forgiveness of sins as a general truth; it means God’s love as merely a Christian idea of God. Those who affirm it have already had their sins forgiven. The church that teaches this doctrine of grace thereby conveys such grace upon itself. The world finds in this church a cheap cover-up for its sins, for which it shows no remorse and from which it has even less desire to be free. Cheap grace is, thus, denial of God’s living Word, denial of the incarnation of the word of God. Cheap grace means justification of sin but not of the sinner. Because grace alone...
