In my last video, here “the history behind our understanding of the new creation,” I talked about the present understanding of the nature of grace based on truths that were progressively discovered in the scriptures since the time of the reformation. Luther’s clarification of justification by faith alone, which is the distinction between law and […]

God wants us to have confidence in the day of judgment. “And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.” 1Johnn 2:28 So we may have boldness in the day of judgment “And we have known and believed the

His job, as our High Priest, is to gird Himself and actually put our feet in the water and wash us. For us, this looks like coming to Him in “full assurance of faith, having our heart sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our body washed with pure water.” “Let us draw near with a

Pastors are getting angry because such a small percentage of their congregation “serves” (works to keep the system running). This partly is because the system they operate limits the function of members by design.. But more importantly, it’s because they only have the threats of punishment and promises of reward as an incentive to “Serve.”
We don’t need threats and treats. Our service springs up freely in grace Read More »
People who fully embrace frontloaded works, backloaded works, or Galatian error will accuse you of a license to sin when you speak about Christ being the reality of the Christian life. In place of Jesus Christ, they hear the words “sin, adultery, fornication, murder, theft.” (What are you saying I can just lie and steal and do whatever I want?) This is from Satan, the Moralist, and it is his accusation against God Himself. He does not believe that God is JUST in justifying sinners and giving the inheritance as a gift to the ungodly. It infuriates him. The Pharisees didn’t just “not believe in Jesus.” They HATED Him because He was the friend of sinners. They knew who He was! Satan was their father.

Msg 1 Obeying Truth Rather than Following Men Gal 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;) Here Paul is already distinguishing himself from the people that are influencing the churches in Galatia. The people that are influencing them are much about perception and man’s authority and man’s stamp of approval. “He’s associated with James therefore I should
The Starting Point for Fellowship Php 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: We have been speaking concerning the virtues for the Church and fellowship. We are talking about how fellowship works. Healthy fellowship is based on a certain kind of mindset, the “mind that was in Christ”.

Christ vs. the Flesh In my view, this is the best part of Phillippians. This is the “Galatians” of Phillippians, or the “Romans” of Phillippians. This is Paul’s description of a spirituality that is increasingly free from legalism and instead, full of Christ. Christ is versus everything. In the New Testament Christ is presented as
