Who’s Afraid of Grace?
Posted on April 20, 2016 10 Comments
It boggles my mind. I am struggling to understand. What is it about grace that scares folks? I’ve actually been cautioned by ministers that “even though we know that we are totally forgiven of all our sins, we can not preach that to baby Christians because they will use that knowledge to sin. Grace is […]
Spiritual Download

“If any man is in Christ he is a new creature.” God fundamentally changes a person when he or she receives Christ as Savior. He regenerates them spiritually, imparting to them His very own nature. This is the experience Jesus referred to as being “born-again” in His conversation with Nicodemus in John 3. If you […]

If you offend a king by something you say or do against him, and as a result the king banishes you from his presence, the only person who has the power to bring you back into favor with the king is the king. As the offender and the lesser person in a relationship with a […]
You Are Not Still In Your Sins

Guilty or not guilty? Detectives look for clues. Lawyers seek to convince. Juries ask for proof. The stronger the evidence, the more reliable the facts, the more certain the verdict. We make bold claims concerning the sacrifice of Jesus. Do we have solid Biblical evidence to support our claim that because we believe in the […]
Stop Calling Yourself a Sinner

Do you refer to yourself as just “an old sinner saved by grace?” If so, you should stop it. Why? Because it is not the truth! And you are contradicting Scripture and weakening yourself spiritually by doing so. You see, you can be “an old sinner,” or you can be “saved by grace,” but It is […]
The Sin Solution

Want to know the solution to sin–to the penalty, power, and presence of sin? It’s not The Ten Commandments. It is not the fear of judgment. It is the revelation of Christ. It is GRACE! And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. For the law was given through Moses, but […]
The Divine Hug
Posted on April 2, 2014 3 Comments
Do you sometimes need a hug? Do you sometimes long to be held close and embraced fervently by someone who loves you dearly? Probably. The need to be loved is universal. We were created to love and be loved. Without love, people dry up. Without it, they die. But no one needs to suffer, or […]
Will God Ever Be Angry With Us Again?

God will never be angry with His children again. Never! “That is not true.” “Yes, it is.” “No, it isn’t.” “Yes, it is.” “Prove it!” “Ok, I will.” Do you believe that God will ever again destroy the earth by a flood? I’m sure, if you are a Bible-believing Christian, you will answer with a […]
Receive Blessings, No Curses

What do you think of this statement, “Do good, God’s glad. Do bad, God’s mad?” If you believe this is a true statement and it is consistent with the New Testament, you are wrong. The truth is, God’s opinion of us in the New Covenant is not based on our performance, but on
On A Hill Far Away

Some of you may remember the song, “I Have Decided to Follow Jesus.” It was popular decades ago. In one of its verses, the worshipper sings, “The Cross before me, the world behind me…no turning back.” It is a powerful song of consecration. It reminds us of our decision to stop living for self and […]
