"Grace" is not a movement focused on taking jabs at "institutional religion", or hurling schoolyard-esque insults towards her leaders.
"Grace" is not a teaching which encourages you to curse like a sailor or dabble in taboo behaviors simply because, "you're free".
"Grace" is not a license to be rude, or act like a jerk towards those who believe the way you once believed.
"Grace" is not written permission to sequester yourself off from the rest of the Church, simply because they meet in buildings or tithe.
"Grace", simply put, is Jesus. And when He lives in you, He loves in you. He never has, and never will encourage or empower immorality. He never has, and never will cause you to be bitter, jaded, and angry at those who misunderstand Him. He never has, and never will cause you to be divisive, cold, or heartless towards those with differing opinions.
When Grace lives in you, Grace pours out of you.
