Hello,

I watched the Super Bowl with family last night. Not a lot of excitement in the midwest.

Grace and works is perhaps the oldest misunderstanding of faith. People who tell me all my works will guarantee my place in heaven don’t get the answer they expect. My place in heaven was secured by Jesus on the cross and my faith. My works do not matter.
