Question:To be saved and to live by grace
What do you think it is to live and be saved by grace in comparison with saved by grace? What does it/doesn’t it look like?
Hi,
That is a really really good question. It’s a question that the Galatians would have done well asking themselves before Paul wrote them a friendly letter asking them the same thing. He asked them, “if you were saved by grace, and healed by grace and...

The Armour of God is also the Spoil
My fiancée just wrote this and I love it - here you go :)
The Armour of God is also the Spoil
I was reading some quality Joseph Prince this morning, and he wrote on 2 Chronicles 20:15: “Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.
His thought for the day was:God wants us to stand still and see Jesus, our salvation, fight for us.

There is victory in ALL things. All things. All things. We are more than conquerors through Him who loved us!!!

Question from Victor
I’ve been listening to grace teachings from different preachers, though some concepts are contrary to one another.
How would you decide which one to choose, generally?
Hi Victor,
That’s a really good question. I think when we have a God who honours relationship over our specific doctrines we are always going to have conflicts in belief amongst believers. I listen to the most varied...

What is righteousness?
One of the biggest problems the world faces, especially the believer, is that it is possible to attain a standard of righteousness outside of the finished works of the cross.
You see according to the word of God we have two types of righteousness that are attainable, we have the righteousness that we attain by our own works. This is demonstrated in the old testament and the outline for this was...

The Banking Crisis simply explained...
Young Jimmy bought a donkey from a farmer for £100.
The farmer agreed to deliver the donkey the next day…
The next day he drove up and said,
‘Sorry son, but I have some bad news. The donkey’s died.’
Jimmy replied, ‘Well then just give me my money back.’
The farmer said, ‘Can’t do that. I’ve already spent it.’
Jimmy said,...

Yet another blog...
“Oh great” I hear you all say, another blog! I know, but I want somewhere to collect my thoughts, and share my convictions. On the glorious Gospel of Grace and the Kingdom of Heaven.
I also have a lot of people who ask me the same questions via emails and I was thinking this might be a great forum to cut down on sending the same answers out over and over. In light of that there is a...
