There is only One way to find true, eternal rest from the anxieties, burdens and obligations that weigh us down.

Apocalypse Now! – Greg Albrecht

For decades, residents in Southern California have talked about and feared “the big one.” The Big One has almost exclusively been thought of and prepared for as a devastating earthquake. Now, many are saying the January 2025 wind-driven fiery inferno is at least “a” Big One, assuming a horrific Big Earthquake is yet to come.    Commentators are speaking of these January 2025 Apocalypse Now raging wildfires, driven by ferocious winds, igniting a parched landscape in desperate need of rain, as perhaps the single most devastating natural catastrophe to ever befall Los Angeles.    In the early evening of Tuesday, ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 11, 2025 - Quote for the Day “For God so loved the world challenges us because we naturally want to think that God only loves us … or at least, he loves us more. But if he loves the whole world then that means he loves everyone, just as much as he loves you and me!”  Originally published in: Wonders of His Love ------------------------------------- Help Us Help Others - Give Now

Fear and Faith

Doubts are not the opposite of faith, they are a necessary part of the process. The opposite of faith, the real enemy, is fear.

The God of Comfort – by Greg Albrecht

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all his holy people throughout Achaia: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 9, 2025 - Quote for the Day “If Jesus showed up today in our towns and cities, in our schools and courtrooms, in our cafes and malls, and yes, in our churches – would we recognize him?  Would he resemble what our churches have taught us?  Would religion welcome him?”  Originally published in: Between Religious Rocks and Life’s Hard Places ------------------------------------- Help Us Help Others - Give Now

Be Prepared!

The Parable of the Ten Virgins tells us more about the kingdom of heaven. But, is this parable warning us to be careful so that we don’t “run out” of the Holy Spirit? Is this parable telling us that 50% of all Christians are foolish? Does this parable offer hidden clues about the Second Coming?

The Man From Plains… – Greg Albrecht

“Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about which the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. – John 1:45-46 Can Anyone/Anything Good Come Out of Plains, Georgia? James (Jimmy) Earl Carter Jr. – the 39th president of the United States – was the longest-lived president, the first to live a century and perhaps, seemingly more important to Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, the only president whose marriage lasted and endured 77 years. The Man from Plains was born on October 1, 1924 in ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 7, 2025 -- Quote for the Day “Some people have been spiritually crippled all their lives and know no other reality.  They have been taught to fear and distrust everyone outside of their group, and they don’t want to be released from the comfort of their closeted world.”  Originally published in: Bad News Religion ------------------------------------- Help Us Help Others - Give Now

The Body of Christ – “A” Church or “The” Church?

Some estimates are that 10-15 million Christians in the United States do not regularly attend a building that calls itself a church. What and where, exactly, is the body of Christ?

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 4, 2025 -- Quote for the Day “The baby had created the universe, but he had voluntarily left the pristine perfection of eternity in favor of the mud and filth of that stable – and the dust and grime of the world he would inhabit as he grew up.  He chose to come as a baby who would later be delivered via the birth canal and then later spiritually deliver not only Mary, the one who had physically delivered him, but ALL mankind, including those who tortured and crucified him.”  Originally published in: Christianity Without the Religion magazine, December 2022 Christianity Without the Religion Magazine ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 2, 2025 -- Quote for the Day “We don’t impress God with our religious juggling, our spiritual dances, our religious hand-jive, ballet or soft-shoe.  He doesn’t award us spiritual points based on our gymnastic religious performances.   He intervenes in our lives, lavishing us with his grace, based on his goodness, not ours. Think of the wise men from the East who came to visit the newborn Jesus.  One day they were leading a normal life, doing their astronomical calculations, consulting their star charts, putting in a 9-5 day, washing their camels and eating dinner with the family at night.  They ...

Grace at the Crossroads

Greg teaches from Matthew 7:13-14, taking issue with the popular idea of the precise identity of those who journey on the broad road, and, on the other hand, who is traveling on the narrow road.
