"Saving Grace"

Have you been watching the show "Saving Grace"? The main character has about as many sinful habits as they can fit into a one hour show! And her "heart of gold" is not always evident -- if it exists. The premise is that God is trying to save her anyway. Despite her extreme sinfulness and despite the fact she accepts it is God's angel talking with her, she refuses to change. Her brother is a Roman Catholic priest and she was raised in a Roman Catholic church but no longer has faith. Occasionally Grace and the angel (Earl --- the writers are having a bit of fun with him!) drift into a serious conversation but only for a moment and it is never concluded. The only real theological point made is that God loves Grace. The other person we see Earl with is a convicted murderer on death row, who has accepted God.

Point --- The show is doing a good job of stressing the extreme efforts God will make to let us know we are loved .... despite everything, we are loved.

Watch the scriptures this Sunday for that message.

WARNING ---- definitely for a "mature audience". The sex scenes are pretty dramatic.
