INAPPROPRIATE Really Was a Story of Grace

I really enjoyed Sunday night’s INAPPROPRIATE event with Derek Chester-Browne. As the tag line said, it was a “story of grace” and it really lived up to its name.

Derek was honest and clear about where he has been and what God has done in his life. I knew he had been an ex drug-dealer, but I think it really struck home when he spoke about how he used to treat his family. I was moved by the incredible change that God did in this man’s heart and actions and was encouraged that in those things I struggle with, God can really change me too.

The fact that Derek isn’t all about self-motivation and self-power is fantastic. This is a story of grace, not a story of self-therapy. God really will save anyone who comes to him. I love how God spoke to Derek so clearly in the midst of all his shouting, anger and opinions. For God to tell a man to “shut and and listen” shows me that he really does communicate with us all personally. God goes looking for us. That is simply amazing.
