How Far Will God Go?
God doesn't encourage us to take advantage of his "good graces" - but out of his love he allows humans to do just that, if they so choose.
A Covenant – Not a Contract! – by Greg Albrecht
There is probably no other human endeavor quite like marriage—sadly, many of these partnerships that begin with such hope and expectation regularly fail. One of the reasons marriages fail is because many see marriage and the entire relationship through the eyes of a contract rather than through the perspective of a covenant.
Marriage, an example of a human covenant, can help us to understand the divine relationship God offers to each of us. He offers us the new covenant in Christ, not the new contract in Christ. It's a covenant, NOT a contract!

Reflections Along the Jesus Way
March 25, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Picking up our cross and following Jesus is not for the faint hearted. We must make a commitment and with Christ-centered courage and conviction, Christ in us imbues us with hope and faith for the journey, even when it takes us through dark valleys of death and despair.
Doubts and trials can lead us to deeper faith, greater spiritual maturity and more Christ-like convictions. Doubt borne of adversity and hardship need not be our enemy, but rather a stepping stone, albeit painful and difficult, toward, as those great lyrics describe, a ‘closer walk with Thee.’”

Trusting God – Rejecting Religion
We focus on two illusions that enslave billions of people: 1) Contrasted with grace-based trust in God, religious self sufficiency alienates us from God, and 2) Attempts to earn God's favor through our efforts lead to pride in religious accomplishments, in complete opposition to the humility imparted to us by the mind of Christ.
Spiritual Blessings
The emphasis on human love we hear during the season of Valentine's Day helps us to focus on God's love for us. He lavishly pours out "every spiritual blessing in Christ" (Ephesians 1:3) on us.
Q & R with Greg Albrecht – How does the gospel influence life and politics?
QUESTION:
Let me start off by thanking you for your excellent resource which is a blessing and encouragement for those of us who have stepped away from institutional Christianity. So a big thank you for that.
I've never found cause in any of Greg's writings before to want to write but wanted to comment on his blog post “Lost and Alone.” My concerns are not with the theology but the social-political comments which I think highlight some areas for awakening and growth among US Christians.
I'm an American ex-pat living in Europe where the Christians are surprised by the apparent lack of social conscience in America towards the homeless, poor, ...
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
March 22, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“In The Great Divorce C.S. Lewis characterizes those in heaven as saying that they think nothing of religion, that they think only of Christ. Christians are called to come out of religiosity and churchianity that will forever keep them enslaved to the flesh. We are called to set our hearts and minds on things above. We are called to focus on Christ alone. Think of him and nothing of religion. Faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone.”

Going to the Dogs – by Greg Albrecht
Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is demon-possessed and suffering terribly." Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him, "Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel." The woman came and knelt before him. "Lord, help me!" she said. He replied, "It is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs." "Yes it is, Lord," she said. "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their ...
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
March 20, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“It doesn’t matter who you are or what you have done. Your religious background and credentials, or lack thereof, are irrelevant. It doesn’t matter if you have been a petty criminal, an atheist, a cult member, a mass murderer, or even a goody-two-shoes self-righteous-better-than-everybody-else-holy-Joe.
It doesn’t matter if you have been baptized, or if you have been immersed rather than sprinkled. If you have never had a drop of alcohol touch your lips, God still loves you, but he doesn’t love you because you have never imbibed.
If you have started every day, for the last ...

The Great Grace Give-Away
It might be hard to get our tongues around the name of the Old Testament character "Mephibosheth" but David's kindness towards him is an incredible illustration of God's grace, and how he relentlessly searches for us.

Reflections Along the Jesus Way
March 18, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Beginning in the second grade, I lived in constant apprehension and fear of an impending doomsday. My family and I believed that “the end” could come at any time; we were convinced that we always lived in a window of a “few short years” from the events surrounding the second coming, I did not treasure the message of Revelation, I feared it. The specific “end times” interpretation I was taught exercised enormous power over me and many others. Decades later God’s grace completely changed my understanding of Revelation – from a book to be feared to a book to be treasured....

Lost and Alone – Looking for Home – Greg Albrecht
Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?– John 14:3
Most of us have never been physically homeless, but all of us, at one time or another, find ourselves without a spiritual home. We all, at some point in life, are spiritually lost. Sometimes we enter the Father’s house but then we wander away. We may come and we may go. The door is always open. No coercion. No lock-downs.
Jesus says that the Father’s house has many rooms and that we all have a place there. He invites us to ...

“I believe that physical death is not the end of God’s pursuit of us, and I base that belief primarily on the full and complete (as I understand it) revelation of God within the pages of the Bible.”

When Religion Gives God a Bad Name
Faith dies when the spiritually hungry do not receive the Bread of Life, when those in desperate need are seduced by religious junk food and become convinced God can be gained or lost on the basis of human performance.
