Let Go and Let Christ

When Religion Meets God’s Grace

Grace … is an epic confrontation, with staggering implications and consequences. Jesus spoke of a time when people would kill others thinking they would be “offering a service to God” (John 16:3). That’s the bad news — but there is incredibly good news which by far outweighs murder and mayhem.

Religion Happens When We Lose Sight of Christ

What Does ‘the Land’ Have to do With the Gospel? Part 2

Is any piece of real estate here on planet earth the inheritance of Christians and pilgrims and sojourners whose citizenship is in heaven? How relevant is any so-called “holy place” for those who look for “the city… whose architect and builder is God” (Hebrews 11:10)?

What Does ‘the Land’ Have to do With the Gospel? Part 1

The theme song of the movie Exodus proclaims “this land is mine, God gave this land to me.” How do we, as Christians, from a Christ-centered perspective, understand covenants of the Old Testament?

Jesus is the King of the kingdom and grace is the economy of the kingdom. Ponder life-changing insights about the spiritual dynamics of forgiveness Jesus gave in one of his most misunderstood parables.

Spitting Into the Wind

Just how much dirt do you need in your sand box? Greg talks about the primary lesson of the book of Ecclesiastes — experienced by Solomon, exemplified by Alexander the Great, and recorded by Johnny Cash.

Serving in Jesus’ Spiritual Soup Kitchen

We are not the final destination of God’s favor! He lavishes his gifts on us so that we in turn might pass it on. And make no mistake — there is a critical need for his grace!

He Is Coming, But Not Because He Is Mad As Hell!

Many seem to preach about a Jesus who will return to this earth because he just can’t put up with us anymore! The Second Coming is coming, but Jesus’ motivation behind his return might be a “little different” from what you’ve heard.
