“Would
you bite the hand that feeds you?” a bright young man named Dee asked me while
we talked at Starbucks. We were talking
about the reason for doing good, how so many people get it backward and believe
they are saved BY good works rather than FOR good works. Dee is a believer and involved in church, but
lives in a hard environment, full of temptation, around a lot of young people
who don’t care about the things of God. For
this reason I think he was confused about a few things and I hope our conversation
might have helped clear them up, but tI was so encouraged by his question, “Would
you bite the hand that feeds you?”, It let me know he does understand God’s
great mercy and grace in Jesus more than most church folk I’ve met who are
twice his age.
