Grace Shouts Louder (ePub)

In September 2014, I transitioned the Church which I had pastored for 25 years, over to the next generation. The only way I can describe this experience is like a father walking his daughter down the aisle, to hand her over to the care of another man.

Although it was intensely emotional it was also wonderfully exciting because personally I sensed it wasn't the ending of something but the beginning of something.

It was the beginning of a transition. I didn't want to be another itinerant preacher trying to fill a diary or find somewhere to preach. God reassured me that morning I was not just setting in a son, but the Church was sending out a father. I felt God say to me 'I am sending you out into my Church as an abolitionist.'

The greatest area of slavery on earth is in the Church. Many Christians, who love Him and want to serve Him, do so in chains, particularly the chain of condemnation.

For 400 years God's people worshipped Him in chains, burdened by the task masters of Pharaoh. The same is happening today. The only means of deliverance for a shackled Church is a revelation of the Gospel of the Grace of God.

I write this book as an abolitionist. I can already hear the chains fall off your life as you receive and apply the truths contained in this book.

The Gospel of Grace unshackled me personally and my prayer is it will do the same for you.
