Lesson 5: Justification and the Law
Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
- Romans 3:31
In Romans 4, we get a fantastic look at what it means to be justified by faith. Paul takes it all the way back to Abraham and, step by step, shows how it was Abraham’s faith, not his [...]
Lesson 4: Justification by Faith
“Justification by Faith”, a topic that has been one of the most challenging subjects to understand by few people, a one that has been a favorite topic for theologians to discuss, a one that remains to be a doctrinal area of research and analysis for few other intellectuals, and a topic for the rest of [...]
“I’m awesome!”
I joined Greenpeace today. Let me back up.
Lunch time found me traipsing down shady downtown streets with my co-worker in pursuit of a somewhat healthy lunch. The heat rose from the sidewalk and seemed to hover at waist height. We took our time, chatting about projects and upcoming vacations. In the near distance, I saw [...]
Lesson 3: All have sinned

GC Session: Grace Notes #2 - Alabaster Box Remix
It was a 21st Century remix of the Alabaster Box scene from Mark 14 and I got front row seat tickets to this wonderful life lesson.
GC Session: Grace Notes #1 - Singing His Love with our Lives
Tired, sweaty and in a hurry.
Working on only two hours of sleep because we drove all night to get to Atlanta I was just trying to pick up tickets for the Heritage Singers 40th anniversary when I stumbled upon a familiar tune. The language I couldn’t determine, but I picked up my [...]
GC Session: Grace Notes
If I could sum it up succinctly I would say
Generations and nations gathered together in fellowship
Now I have to admit that brevity is not a virtue I possess so I will try and sum it up in short Grace Notes.
The theme of the 59th General Conference Session is Proclaiming His Grace.
Flavored.
