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 ...
Reflections Along the Jesus Way
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.”

“At first the religious professionals discredited him because he was not a product of their educational systems, and then later they came to hate and despise him. They called him a rabble rouser and a troublemaker. They called him a bastard son of a young girl who became pregnant before marriage.”

Being in Christ – by Greg Albrecht
My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. This is my command: Love each other.—John 15:12-17

Q & R: Greg Albrecht – “Does Satan exist?”
Question:
I just listened to one of your sermons broadcast and after being with Plain Truth ministries for a LONG time, I was quite surprised when you said you didn't know if Satan exists? The Bible says that God created the devil as the most perfect beautiful angel he could make, but because of his beauty he turned against God and persuaded 1/3 of the angels to go with him, he was thrown down to Earth.
I don't know why I'm writing this. You're more knowledgeable than I am, or at least I thought you were. I've settled in my mind that Satan exists as an evil influence, and that as humans, we're capable of evil but Satan with his influence makes things ...

“As parents and grandparents we smile at stories about children getting confused with God:
During Jason’s bedtime prayer he said, ‘Lord, if you can’t make me a better boy, don’t worry about it. I’m having a good time like I am.’
Sarah complained to God the he did not answer her prayer: ‘Thank you for the baby brother but what I asked for was a puppy. I never asked for anything else before. You can look it up.’
Lisa pondered the nature of God when she prayed, ‘How do you know you are God? Did someone tell you, or did you just decide that yourself?’

No Greater Love – by Greg Albrecht
Friend and Partner Letter from March 2025:
The night before he was crucified, Jesus washed his disciples’ feet. He lived a life of sacrificial service. He came to serve us, rather than to receive our service. Like the water he used to wash his disciples’ feet (and yours and mine) he poured himself out, both throughout his earthly ministry, but most remarkably and ultimately, on his Cross.
During what some call his “final discourse” – the long discussion Jesus had with his disciples the evening before he gave his all on his Cross – when he emptied himself so that we could be filled, when he ingested all human hatred and ...

March 1, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“Did you ever stop to think about the times Jesus went to church? How did that work out for him? Did he get involved in all of the committees and outreach groups? Did people like him? Of course Jesus never went to a church, but the Bible does tell us that he went to synagogue and temple. The Bible doesn’t tell us how consistently Jesus attended synagogue and temple, but it does tell us of rude receptions he received when he did frequent such gatherings.”

Reflections Along the Jesus Way
February 27, 2025 - Quote for the Day:
“The history of the Bible is a history of the self-imposed, willing humiliation that God has accepted as an inevitable consequence of his love for us. The love he has for us means that he exposes himself to hurt, pain, disappointment and failure. From the very beginning God made himself vulnerable, placing himself at risk… God decided to begin his human life on earth not as a mature adult like Adam, but as a helpless baby, choosing, from a human perspective, the weakness and vulnerability of infancy over the safety and security of adulthood."
