Is grace a license to sin? That is one of the most common objections to Free Grace theology and to the grace message in particular. People are afraid that if you teach that salvation really is by grace, through faith in Christ, and given as a gift totally apart from your behavior, that will encourage […]

Leaded and Unleaded Motivation The internal combustion engine changed the world. While the early concept was developed in the 1600s, the first practical gas engine wasn’t built until Étienne Lenoir in 1860. By the 1920s, there was a known problem with gasoline engines: knocking.  Knocking is when a pocket of gas and air gets trapped […]

Kid’s Story "Kiddos, dinner time!" Dad’s voice echoed throughout the house. Sam said, "I'm going to eat my dessert first!" Samantha was surprised. "Sam, you can't do that! You have to earn dessert.” “For dessert, I’m going to get a mile-high mountain of chocolate.”  “Well,” Samantha said. “You can’t.” “Dinner is free?” Sam protested, “So […]

The ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle asked it. And so have most of the great teachers in Christianity. Let me give you two different kinds of answers. First, there’s the answer […]

One of the mistakes that Free Grace people can make in discipleship is to lose sight of how eternal rewards are also a matter of grace. In one of the most crucial passages on rewards in the New Testament (i.e., 1 Cor 3:5-8), Paul has something to say about whether we really “earn” our rewards: […]

I've heard plenty of exuberant preachers say that you have to admit that you're a sinner and confess your sins in order to be saved. There are a few examples of people confessing sin in the New Testament. However, nowhere in the New Testament does it say that one must confess their sin in order […]
