When Grace Collides with Sin: The Phillip Yancey Confession

In the wake of Yancey’s admission of an affair, Christians face a test they rarely pass: how to tell the truth and still offer grace.

I’m writing this now because the public response to Phillip Yancey’s confession has been shallow at best and shame-fueled at worst. Not because the confession was unclear. Not because grace is unavailable. But because the Christian church still struggles to hold two truths at once: that sin is real and grace is enough.
