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 ...

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.
Giving Up Something for Lent? – by Greg Albrecht
During this time of the year, presuming that God will love them/love them more when they prove their love to him, many “give up” something for Lent. But the deeper question is beyond what we do to “give something up.” The question is, ultimately, who gives up what? When I think of God’s love I start at the cross of Christ, Jesus’ demonstration and revelation of God the Father’s own divine agape love – by willingly giving himself for you and me.
“Giving up something” for Lent is a twisted spiritual proposition – it’s just another ceremony, observance or ritual deceiving us into thinking that we can manipulate God ...

March 13, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“There’s an old story about a young man who asked his rich grandfather, ‘Grandpa, how did you get so rich?’ ‘Well,’ said Grandpa, ‘during the Great Depression my family had no money whatsoever. I found two pennies in my old piggy bank, and I bought an apple with those two pennies. I shined that apple up, took it out on the street where people were hungry, and sold it for five cents.
‘Then I took that nickel and bought two more apples for two cents each. I shined them all up, took them back on the street, and sold them for five cents each.
The grandfather paused, ...

God’s Grace Is For Everyone – by Greg Albrecht
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. —Titus 2:11
You are invited to the kingdom of heaven, and the invitation is called "the gospel" (good news) because it has no strings attached. You and I are invited to the kingdom of heaven in spite of what we have done! The body of Christ on earth is not the equivalent of an exclusive country club or a cloistered, highly restricted religious fraternity or union. Titus 2:11 says that God's grace is available to everyone—it doesnot promise or insist that everyone receives and accepts it —but grace is available, and it's for everyone.
There's a story I ...

March 11, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“On his cross, Jesus once and for all demonstrated that peace, love and grace are stronger than hatred, violence and anger – and on his cross he provided the absolute proof that the eternal reality that will win, in the end, is God’s love.”

An Offer We Can’t Refuse
God is having a banquet, and every seat will be filled - one way or the other! The seats at the table may not be filled with those you would expect to accept the invitation, but they will be filled.
Some Time Later
Elijah encountered times when the water ran dry, then some time later the food ran out, and then some time later death visited the home he was living in. As long as we live in our bodies of flesh, it's just one problem after another - but the good news is that God offers us new life!
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
March 8, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Salvation is unconditional, not based on any meritorious deeds that we perform to earn it. But unconditional salvation is not automatic. Salvation is not conferred just because we are born, or because we have reached our 12th birthday, or whether we ask for it or not. Salvation is unconditional, but it is not automatic or universal. We are free to accept or reject God’s gracious offer of salvation. The Bible is clear about that choice.”
