In order to understand the blog relative to Grace, we must consider that we are Spiritually bankrupt...there is no good in us...the actions of the flesh will never be glorified. Historically the conservatives called this notion greasy grace. Now why would they do that? Why the scarlet letter? Why the attititude? Because they don't understand the Grace of God.
This is not from MB, it is propaganda, it is culture, it is the same thing that hundreds of ministers, especially in the UPC and AMF would be able to write and it is preached all over the nation every week.
The Apostolic church has a brutal misunderstanding of the Grace of God....I am convinced more than ever these days.

You are right.
The problem with failing to understand grace goes back to not understanding our own depravity. How sunk we are. How broken and lost. How ugly we are apart from the healing balm of the Cross.
