The ones who practised it knows for what extent it is practical, and it is totally a subjective matterAaron Ambers wrote: ↑05 Jun 2020, 04:57 I quite agree with the author's three phased subdivision of the Christian's life, and yes I have practiced it so it's practical.

Returning grace is something that needs practice, and one can face crisis as well as grace recurrently

That is very correct. When you are in trouble, it is difficult to lend your hand to another

'Hitting rock bottom' is not a common crisis to everyone, and no such level crisis is needed to receive God's graceAlec_Stamm wrote: ↑07 Jun 2020, 00:09 I generally agree with that sentiment, but might clarify what it means. I grew up in a church that often dramatized what it meant to have a 'religious conversion'. We were implicitly taught to expect that one must hit a stereotypical rock bottom before receiving some sort of direct divine intervention that leads them to Christ. Think "alcoholic getting in a motorcycle crash and coming to God in the emergency room". Id like to share that a crisis doesnt need to take on such a dramatic form to be spiritually significant. My crisis probably came from a desire to discover meaning that I wasn't getting from the tedium of every day life. It probably peaked when I got rejected from several of my dream colleges, and had to settle for a safety school. Over time I came to accept that I was probably a nudging from God to find meaning from him, and not from the social status I was trying to achieve through acceptance to prestigious universities.

There is a lot more to elaborate. And this is, as you correctly said, a simplification

You don't have to belong to any religion to go through these phases, and you can interpret them in your own mannerAmesthenerd wrote: ↑07 Jun 2020, 17:24 I feel like this cycle can also be true in life of people who are not Christian. People extend grace as well. I just had someone buy me groceries because I could not and it made me want to give back because I felt so blessed by it.
