429- Rome 9: Paul’s Big But…

“We’ve all heard preachers quote: ‘We’ve all sinned and fallen short…’, but almost none of them will say that all are made right with God. Have you ever wondered why modern religion rejects this idea, even though Paul labors to prove it?

In today’s podcast and post we continue our series in Paul’s letter to Rome, with a look at the second half of chapter three. I’ll explain the common assumptions which cause modern theology to go off course.

Join me now as we reveal that faith is not a threshold for entry into a world religion, but a Christological continuum that includes everyone.

317-13-Living the Long Game

“Does it really matter how we live our lives?

You’ll be amazed at the number of people who will answer this by saying; “so long as you don’t hurt yourself or others…” In today’s podcast and post, we wind down our study of Hebrews by reflecting on the author’s admonishment’s on how we should live.

Join me now as we see beyond a life of rules and obligation and get a peek into a way of living in a totally different way. The author is helping us to become citizens of an amazing city that has only one law.

201- Fasting NOT Performing

“Have you ever met someone who admits to being a hypocrite?”

Of course not. Hypocrites are always other people, right? In today’s podcast and post we examine yet another way Jesus calls religious people hypocrites; through fasting. Fasting in our modern world is usually employed for health and dietary benefits, but historically it has been a religious practice.

Join me now as we see beyond fasting at the real problem behind our hypocrisy and I offer a fasting challenge that will allow us to see that hypocrisy is not someone else’s problem, its ours.
