Paul Set the Tone

In 1 Thess. 2:7. Paul says, “But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherisheth her children: So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.” Then, in vs. 10. Paul... Continue Reading →

Take Off the Training Wheels

Taking a trip down “memory lane” can be quite the trip, indeed.  Sometimes that trip can be good.  Sometimes bad.  We’ve all been down that road before.  One such trip is going back to a time of learning how to ride a bicycle.  To make thkngs simple, we’ll look at three phases: The Tricycle With...

PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE

There is one thing that will never change.  People will always be people - no matter their personal level of sanctification.  We have been given by God peculiar (some more peculiar than others) particular personality traits, which often conflict with the New Man, who is supposed to reflect the image of Christ.

How can this be?  Has the church failed in communicating the absolute sufficiency of the Cross-work of Jesus? The reality is that far too many churches, and pastors,, have fallen short...

Saying No to Militancy

I’d like to share one of my favorite articles by Pastor Hal Bekemeyer. This guy has been around the grace movement about as long as I’ve been alive (yes, he’s that old but don’t tell him I said that). He is also a regular co-host on our Grace Life Podcasts. I crack jokes and Hal... Continue Reading →

The Counsel of His Will of All Things

The Father of our Lord Jesus Christ appointed the Word heir of all things. All these things are in the bosom of the Father and would be represented by the Word and Wisdom before the earth ever was. Christ, the express image of God’s person, the brightness of His glory, and all the fulness of... Continue Reading →
