About this site

Music is an important part of Christian worship. As music leaders we select and prepare songs for worship every week. For each song we should be prepared to answer the question "Why is it included in Worship?" What does this song have to teach us? How is it related to a Biblical truth or concept?

Sinner Saved By Grace

Wouldn't it have been wonderful to be part of early church? To preach
that new, radical message of the resurrection? But, the early church
struggled with some of the same issues we do today. In Acts 15 is an
account of first church conference. The debate centered around who
can be a Christian? What must you believe? How must you act? Who is
the message of the resurrection for? We still debate this point
today. We are not going to settle the debate today. But it seems to
me there is at least one requirement. You must be a sinner
Acts 15:11 "...We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus
that we are saved..."

George Younce got away from his Christian roots while in the military,
but eventually, he became stronger in his faith as he began singing in
Gospel quartets. Bill Gaither was a fan of one of these quartettes,
and was inspired, after getting to know George, to write "Sinner Saved
By Grace".
