Who’s Afraid of Grace?

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 […]

Extreme Generosity

Bill Gates has already given $28 billion dollars to charity, Warren Buffet $9 billion, while Mark Zuckerberg has pledged to give 99% of his wealth away. Impressive generosity. Yet, nothing compared to God! “He who did not withhold or spare [even] His own Son but gave Him up for us all, will He not also […]

 Afraid of God

I am going to say it up front and perhaps make a lot of well-meaning Christians upset.  Being afraid of God is never the right motive for obeying Him.  And “obeying” God because you are afraid God will punish you by bringing bad things into your life, or taking away things from you, is the […]

Perfecting Your Love for God

Stop trying to love God. That’s right, I said, “Stop trying to love God.” How can I say this?  Didn’t Jesus say the greatest commandment is to love God with all your heart?  Yes, He did, but He never thought that you would be able to do so by “trying” your best.  “By the works of […]

A Cause for Concern

What would happen if a king pardoned all prostitutes in his kingdom for past transgressions and simultaneously issued a decree that released all prostitutes from future judgment? A lot of joy among prostitutes and a whole lot more prostitution taking place! Even so, simply telling saints the wonderful news that when they received Christ, all […]

God Freely Gives To You All Things

It’s unfortunate that so many Christians have not grasped the extent of the Father’s love and how eager He is to meet their needs.  They beg, they cry, they sacrifice, all in an effort to “get” God to hear their prayers.  To persuade Him to meet their needs.  But is any of this necessary?

Only God Could Do This for 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 […]

Blessed Assurance

“If you love me, you will keep my commandments.” Does this sound like a warning to you? Does it cause you to question your relationship with God and how He feels about you? Does it feel like you are still under the Law? I used to feel this way, but I don’t any longer. Why? […]
