This was originally posted in December 2022. I have made some minor revisions, Grace is one of the most glorious, pervasive and essential truths in the Bible. It is why I am a Christian.

The conclusion of the 2024 Olympics in Paris was marked by singing of the “great” American anthem exalting human autonomy, self-determination, self-will and ultimately self-worship, namely the Frank Sinatra classic, My Way.
