Grace Turned Outward

John Fischer was a pioneer of the Jesus Movement music scene of the early 70s. He now leads a ministry called The Catch with the subhead Grace Turned Outward. A mutual friend introduced us (virtually). I send some financial support his way.

It’s because I really like that Grace Turned Outward mission.

I’ve experienced many evangelicals who seem suspicious of grace. They think it’s all about the head—saying you believe certain dogma. Some may look at grace turned inward. That strange warming in my heart.

I was given the gift of reading and thinking for understanding—feeble though it may be. I read the Gospels. Look at the actions of Jesus. Mostly he introduced other people to grace. He encouraged his followers to likewise share grace with others. 

Jesus embodied Grace Turned Outward.

His brother James wrote about how worthless it is if you do not go out and help other people.

If you can feel the grace God has provided to you, it cannot be bottled. Jesus said not to hide your light under a basket but to let it shine as light for others.
