The Point of Grace

The Bible says in Psalm 107:2; "Let the redeemed of the Lord say so."  I have always loved that verse.  It brings comfort every time I read it.  Let me tell you why.

Twenty years ago, Janie and I were members of Second Baptist Church in West Memphis.  The church is no longer there.  The building still remains with another congregation, but Second Baptist has since merged with another church and grown much bigger than they were.  You will know them as Cornerstone Baptist now.

While we were at Second Baptist, there was a singing group that would come from time to time and share with us.  The group was made up of four young ladies from various churches.  They had a wonderful sound and had a fervent heart to share the Gospel through their music.  They called themselves "Say So."  Let the redeemed of the Lord "Say So."

We bought their t-shirts and tapes just like everyone did at that time.  The only problem with the group was that when they started to become popular in the contempoary music world, their name had already been copyrighted, so they had to change it.  They now call themselves "Point of Grace."  Millions love their music.  I still do.

I've told you all that to simply tell you this:  No matter what we call ourselves ... the "point of grace" is for the redeemed of the Lord to "say so."  If you will have a "say so" attitude ... others will come to know the "point of grace."

This grace is found in Jesus.  "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God," (Eph. 2:8).
