Rethinking Christian Growth and Salvation by Grace

Perhaps this is coming from the culture where we have to work hard to get things we want.  Like study hard in school, to get good grades and get recognize.  Work hard at work to make the big bucks to have a better life.  At the thought of something to gain without ‘working’ with our […]

Easter, Cross, Surprise by Grace

At my church, every Good Friday we have a morning service. Last year, before the Good Friday service I was doing hill repeats (running up and down a hill). It was at that point I told myself, ‘I hope whenever I think about the Cross, I will always be in awe.‘ Last night at fellowship […]

Grace

I’ve been listening to Tim Keller‘s sermons on the Parable of the Prodigal Son. One of the common theme that pops up is the idea of grace. I don’t want to dig in too much right now as I am considering to do a series of posts on this parable and looking at diff characters […]

A blurb from Challies.com, Reading the Classics – Real Christianity (III):In this chapter of Real Christianity, Wilberforce writes about “Inadequate Conceptions of Human Nature.” He shows that one of the keys to discerning true from false beliefs relies on a person’s understanding of human nature. He believes rightly that a proper understanding of human nature […]

The Beatitudes: Idealistic vs Grace-Based Porphetic Interpretation

Taken this straight from the book, Following Jesus in Contemporary Context: Kingdom Ethics by Glen H. Stassen & David P. Gushee: Many have interpreted the Beatitudes idealistically, saying they are high ideals that Jesus is urging us to live up to: if only we would mourn, be pure in heart, be peacemakers and so on, […]
