.. whose sin is covered. Our title is from Psalm 32:1 (KJV). Pastor Mike preaches this chapter, along with verses from Psalm 1 and Romans 8, to remind us that we are ALL sinners (even after we have been baptized) and are saved by God's grace and mercy alone - and not of any works we may do.

[Grace is getting what we don't deserve; Mercy is not getting what we do deserve. Even after we have been spiritually 'born again': Our Heavenly Father (as God presents himself to us) loves us - as we go through our spiritual 'two-year old' and 'teenage' falls and rebellion.]

[BTW: The movie Pastor referenced was "Iron Will" (1994): Directed by Charles Haid; starring Mackenzie Astin, Kevin Spacey, and David Ogden Stiers.]
