Letters In Grace

In light of Chapter 3 teaching us how to battle sin, our failures can easily cause us to feel beat up and possibly even doubt that God has or would save a sinner like me. That's why the Assurance of Forgiveness is so crucial in the process of sanctification! We must rest in the promises of God as we confess our sins. By the way, what is confession, and how are we to confess our sins? We will cover...

Can you have victory over sin? Yes! In this chapter, we talk about how God's word the Bible says we can have victory over sin and why we should want to!

A basic Bible study to help you plant roots in God's word. In this chapter we look at prayer and how we can have assurance that God hears our prayers and answers them.

This will be a short series for new and growing Christians on some of the basics of Bible Study and the promises of God. Each episode includes a memory verse and we look at the assurances of God. Feel free to share with a friend and new believer in Christ.

On this episode of Letters In Grace, we consider the role of obedience in the Christian's life and lightly touch on it's role in evangelism. Does unchecked sin in our lives create a "cheap grace" ? How does obedience confirm the gospel while sin undermines the Gospel?

What does AI know about the Gospel? A suprising AI written hymn and tips on how to study and memorize the Bible and a GREAT benefit of it.

Hope you had a great summer! It's time for Letters In Grace to get back to our conversations about growing in Christ!

Our son is getting married today. Thoughts of how marriage is an image of Christ and the Church. Matthew 22, Matthew 25, Ephesians 5 , 1 Corinthians, Revelation 19. This is the raw and unedited version in our busy home as we prepare for the day. I just woke up and these are the thoughts on my mind this moring.

Let me share with you why the red cardinal in your back yard is NOT your loved one. The truth is much more important than this idea.

Gospel or Gospel Light? Let's talk about pursuing the fullness of God's word

Produced selection Psalm 90

Do you ever wish you could just pick up the phone and talk to that loved one who has passed? I guarantee you if they could pick up the phone and call you, this is what they would say. **Note I use the wrong name at 15:28...I misspoke and switched the names around.**

From first hearing the Gospel to a deep and mature faith, here's the 4 steps on the path there.  The result, a GRAND view of God and a life of faith powered by love.

What is the will of GOD for your life?  How life gets sweeter as He makes us more like Christ.  Let's run a few circles around the Glory of GOD in this episode.

The number one comment I get is about how people are horrible and the earth is horrible and if God created all things "good" He did a lousy job. Let me try to help with that.  This is the Bible in a nutshell and this is the Christian life in a nutshell and this is eternal reality in a nutshell.

We are dedicating the month of February to "The Love of God".  In this first episode, we talk about one BIG way God shows His love for us.

In September 2012 I was given the opportunity to fill in at a friend's church in Great Bend, Kansas.  What would you do in your last 24 hours of life?  Especially in that LAST hour?  As we watch a dear friend prepare to pass to glory, it has been encouraging to our family.  We learn to hold this life loosely.  To live is Christ, to die is gain.

Are there little sins?  Minor infractons?  How does God view these "venial" sins?  Lets explore that.

If you are a chicken and afraid to share the Gospel because you think you will get caught not knowing what to say, this quick crash course will help. Here's the outline, grab the verses from the audio or use your own: 1) GOD A. God Created and Owns Everything B. Is Perfectly Holy C. Requires Perfect Obedience to His law 2) MAN A. Has Broken God’s Law B.Will Pay the Eternal Penalty for Sin C.Cannot...

Song Lyrics were from Keith and Kristyn Getty "My Worth Is Not In What I Own" Our Church service today with Pastor Bart was SO good!  He preached Colossians 3:9-11.  It moves me along in my recent thoughts about Temptation vs Indwelling Sin, Sanctification and it's hows and whys.

We might lack victory over sin because we have a wrong view of what temptation is and what it ISN'T!

In ALL things God is glorifying Himself.  He is creating worshipers.  The overflow of the Christian life is calling others to come and worship Him.  Let's talk about it.

There are only TWO ways of life as we see is Psalm 1. (Plus, a new impression I want to try out on you.) I Begg your grace on this one.  I also play the introductory clip of a Renewing Your Mind podcast with R.C. Sproul.  I want to highly recommend this podcast!  Here's a direct link to that podcast where RC starts in on the T of T.U.L.I.P.   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podca...

This is BIG... Here are my "Aha" or "Light Bulb" moments from 2022's study of God's Word that I will carry into 2023.
