IME, a whole lot of Christian leaders preach grace, but only a few believe it. The ones who truly believe it are the ones who can admit a mistake & acknowledge when they were wrong.
Too many folks have built their platforms on doctrines of grace but live as if they don't need it. Grace is available in theory but unnecessary in practice.
Some of you are hoping that Christian leaders will disavow the unholy alliance btwn church & politics that helped spur on the events at the Capitol. If they do, welcome it. But also, don't hold your breath.
Just b/c someone uses the language of grace doesn't mean they aren't operating under a kind of spiritual meritocracy. And when you are, there's no room for weakness, no room for changing your mind, no possibility that you can indulge in regret.
Again, you can spot a lack of grace in how people treat their own failures. Do they own them, knowing they are safe in grace. Or do they excuse, minimize, & double down.
