Radical Grace/The Lutheran Difference

In this edition of Radical Grace Radio we talk about a way that evangelicals talk about "selling out to God". It's rather strange because if you really can completely give yourself to God does that mean you now no longer need God's mercy and grace? Or do you no longer need Jesus' death and blood? The very first edition of Radical Grace Radio on our new affiliate, WMIE 91.5FM.

Have you ever had the sinking sensation that there is something wrong Have you ever had the sinking sensation that there is something wrong with your Christian walk, but it doesn't have anything to do with your carnal desires? There's a way in which evangelicals talk about this subject that drives us all crazy, and in this edition of Radical Grace we talk about the Carnal Mind.

Introducing Radical Grace Jumpcut. Periodically a part of conversation that was not very relevent to the overall topic has a wonderful point that stands out on its own. In this edition of Jumpcut, we talked about the focus of apologetics.

The Morality Wars Of all the movements in Christian History, none have compared with the rampant Moralism that has taken root in our churches today. Where the true central article of the faith was once Christ and Him Crucified, and even such statements as Christ alone is central to all of our faith and practice used to be the norm, there has been a slow shift towards making our deeds central to ou...

Because this is the season of Advent, Pastor decided he wanted to take the hymn Comfort Comfort These My People and talk about the meaning behind the words. As many of you know, our opening bump music features this hymn and this is the focus of our ministry.

On this edition of Radical Grace we talk about the interview with Pastor Seth Florentino who, along with his District President and Synodical President, could face time in a Philippino prison for defying an order by a Methodist Judge to give Holy Communion to a rival group of Lutherans.

Greetings and Welcome to a Special Edition of Radical Grace. Today I have the Reverend Seth Florentino of Gloria Dei Lutheran Church in the Philipines, Who has been in the middle of a controversy involving the courts in the Philipines, believe it or not, over Holy Communion. A judge wants Seth and his Synod to Practice open communion with a Rival Lutheran Group, and very likely the Judge will issu...

Some Christians out there are still wondering what blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is and whether or not they have committed it. In this edition of Radical Grace we answer the question that seems to be a live issue for the church at large.
