Maryville - It's a crime you hate to hear about. Your children violated at church where they're supposed to be the safest.

 

Two married youth leaders are accused of raping teenage girls. Police tell us there could be even more victims.

 

A sign on the door of the Lord's Disciples Church on Old Knoxville Highway in Maryville tells visitors all services and activities are canceled until further notice. This after two of their youth ministers are charged with eight counts of sexual battery and rape with 15-year-old girls.

 

 

 

I've been thinking about something lately: Christian salvation.

 

Paul, in his letter to the Ephesians said,

"For by grace are ye saved and through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast."

The way this has been explained to me is that salvation is something that comes by grace, through faith, and not something anyone earns.

 

In Evangelical circles, this kind of grace is described as unmerited favor.

 

Unmerited: Not earned.
