Misunderstood and accused of deceit,
My beliefs are called anti-evangelical,
Yet they're based on a love so complete,
A Gospel of grace that's truly biblical.
They say my evangelism is lacking,
But they don't see the truth of my faith,
That God's love for His own is unchanging,
And salvation comes through His saving grace.
They confuse the Gospel with soul-winning,
An unscriptural understanding of the Word,
Their methods are rooted in deception,
And lead to false conversions, it's quite absurd.
I proclaim the good news of Christ,
The Gospel of grace that's already done,
For those who believe in Him are already saved,
Written in the Book of Life, before the world begun.
I won't use fear or manipulation,
To coerce someone to a profession of faith,
For only God can bring them to salvation,
And it's not a decision they can make.
I am called a free grace predestinarian,
And I know the truth of the Gospel so sweet,
And I'll continue to share it with all who will listen,
For in Christ alone is true joy complete.
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
