It is simply this: even our so-called secular lives are permeated by grace. Even the nonreligious aspects of our lives are included in the Word of God. The Word of God to us is not only the radical invasion of our lives by Christ, not only that tremendous life-changing reconciliation that puts us in relationship with an eternal being, but also a detailed concern with every aspect of our humanity. The gospel is not only good news about the big issues and the deep realities. It is also about the time of day and the feeling you have when you get up in the morning.
