Some preach a message
Of having your best life now
But do they speak of the true source
Of strength and power somehow
They tell us to focus on ourselves
To overcome and to win
But the Bible teaches something else
Of faith and grace within
For it is not of our own will
But of God's mercy and might
That we are made spiritually alive
And able to see the light
We cannot choose to follow Christ
Unless we're first given the power
It's not our decision or our strength
But God's appointed hour
So let us not get caught up
In the pursuit of worldly gain
But seek the Lord with all our hearts
And watch His mercy reign
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft grew up in the Missouri Ozarks town of Potosi and has worked in Information Technology since 1998. He began publishing Christian writing online in 1997 with the website bornagain.net, which later developed into PristineGrace.org.
Through Pristine Grace, Brandan writes and teaches from a sovereign grace perspective, emphasizing Christ’s finished work, the sufficiency of the Gospel, and the rest that flows from God’s gracious initiative rather than religious striving. His teaching is Scripture-centered, pastoral in tone, and shaped by real life rather than controversy or debate.
Brandan is a full stack developer involved in other projects besides Pristine Grace. You can read about his other projects and background at bkraft.org.
