Over the years, I have had to do my fair share of “explaining” what I mean when I talk about grace. This is to be expected, of course, when the title for your blog is “Grace Upon Grace,” especially when you’re operating in an evangelical landscape in which the term “grace” is employed in all manner of different theological discussions across a vast spectrum of theological tendencies. It’s sort of like saying you or the church you attend is “gospel-centered.” The repetition of terms often has the effect of perplexing their meaning. Their redolent beauty is scrubbed away by their incessant over-use.
