Tim Keller, /Gospel in Life: Grace Changes Everything/
,
p. 201 The gospel produces a constellation of traits in us: 1. We are compelled to share the gospel out of /love/.
2. We are /freed from the fear/ of being ridiculed or hurt by others,
since we already have the favor of God by grace.
3. There is a /humility/ in our dealings with others, because we know
we are saved only by grace, not because of our superior insight or
character.
4. We are /hopeful /about anyone, even the “hard cases,” because we
were saved only because of grace ourselves.
5. We are /courteous and careful/ with people. We don’t have to push
or coerce them, for it is God’s grace that opens hearts, not our
eloquence or persistence or even their openness.

Well, THERE are five more points I totally agree with! Hey, brother! I am a Texan as well. I live in Kuwait. I have lived in Houston (hometown), Dallas, Mabank, McKinney, Gun Barrel City, Kemp, Conroe, and Georgetown, Texas.
