imagining how the church can reorient around mission

I read last week that Luther stated in his Disputation at Heidelberg that, “Grace is given to heal the spiritually sick, not to decorate spiritual heroes.” 

I love that because sometime we think of grace as a toy we get to play with or control. Grace is truly for us, but not for us to just keep but to giveaway or pass on to others.  It seems there are many that think  God gives grace for their own self-aggrandizement or advancement. 

Wrong…
