In the sixth of the seven letters to the churches, Jesus makes a precious promise to the church in Philadelphia in Asia Minor that applies to the church today. They will not go through the time of tribulation that is coming upon the whole world. Jesus also promises them that He is coming quickly. We call this imminency--nothing in God's prophetic timeline needs to happen before Christ comes for Hi...

When we live according to God’s grace, we realize we have loving responsibilities to others. This includes helping those who fall into sin and doing good deeds to all people. There is a temporal reward when we sow to the spiritual life and not to the flesh. Under grace, we have nothing to boast about, but we can boast only in what Christ has done for us. Grace allows us to live under God’s blessin...

This third section of the epistle addresses practical living issues. Charlie explains from his family heritage personal reasons why freedom means so much to him. Not only must we stay away from legalism, but we must also take a firm stand in and for grace. Legalism is depending on our works to find approval with God instead of trusting in His grace. If we resort to legalism, we will fall from grac...

There is a world of difference between a slave and a son. Through our faith in Christ, we become sons of God and heirs of the promise of blessing that God made to Abraham. We should not attempt to go back under the slavery of the law or a system of performance. Grace and law do not mix. Those who have been saved through faith in God’s grace should not try to mix in the law or works. They must make...

This section of chapters 3-4 enters a theological discussion of the Spirit’s work in us, faith, and the law. Faith allows us to become a part of God’s family, but the law only brings a curse. It shows us our sin. It impossible to keep all the law, therefore it cannot save us. The law leads us to Jesus Christ who frees us from the curse of the law. We are saved by the Spirit of God given to us in t...

Sometimes there is a temptation to compromise the gospel of God’s grace not only doctrinally but practically in how we behave. The gospel does not need our embellishment. We are justified before God by His grace through faith and nothing else. Our behavioral performance cannot earn God’s grace. Those who compromise the gospel need to be confronted as Paul did Peter. Peter was behaving inconsistent...

In this introductory message to Charlie's 6-part series on Galatians you will learn the setting and a simple outline for this important epistle. The Apostle Paul is amazed at how quickly the Galatians turned away from the grace of the gospel they received from him. What was the gospel that Paul preached? It was a gospel of grace, which means works have no role in the reception of salvation. Today,...

Calvinism has characteristically argued for limited atonement (the "L" in TULIP), but can they attribute that to John Calvin? Dr. Allen will prove from Calvin's original statements that he held to unlimited atonement without exception. Only later, through the revisions of Theodore Beza and the ecclesiastical councils of the Synod of Dort and the Westminster Assembly, was limited atonement adopted...

The Bible speaks about different kinds of forgiveness. Charlie talks with Dr. Robby Dean, who has some deep and fascinating observations about the forgiveness spoken of in Colossians 2:12-14 and 1 John 1:9. What did Jesus Christ do on the cross that applies to our forgiveness and when is that applied? Robby dives deep into the Greek, but hang in there, his conclusions are comforting. Robby pastors...

What is the Free Grace perspective all about? Here, Charlie explains this view in a slightly revised presentation that he has done before. The FG view begins with a clear understanding of what grace means, then the importance of faith and Jesus Christ as the object of faith. Our salvation was accomplished by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, therefore, we can add nothing to that work...

Charlie emphasizes a life lived in the path of Christ, a life reflecting a distinct purpose, brimming with enthusiasm, joy, and freedom.

Profile of a prize winning Christian.  In this podcast Charlie looks at Philippians 3:12-16 and how Paul presses on to the prize, the upward call towards Christ. But what does that look like in practice, what is the profile of a prize winning Christian? What work is involved and what lies ahead?  

Charlie continues his walk through Philippians and focuses on two verses today. Chapter 3 verses 10 and 11.  In this passage Paul provides wonderful insight in how God wants us to know Him and understand Him. Many think that when you become a Christian your freedom is over, that you have to live by a set of rules or regulations in order to be a "good" Christian. But is this what it means to know C...

Continuing in Philippians chapter 3 verses 1-9 Charlie focuses on trading rubbish for righteousness. What are you depending upon as the basis for your relationship with the Lord in the now and for eternity? If you're on the right path you will experience joy. The wrong path will steal joy and it will end in eternal tragedy especially for people who have trusted in their own efforts. Join Charlie a...

Continuing our study through Philippians, Charlie focuses on a very practical message in terms of recognizing servants for God; what markers are there? How do you spot them in others and yourself?  Many people base their service on their degree of comfort as opposed to the degree of need. Can we really serve the way Christ served us or the way Paul served the churches? Join Charlie as he walks thr...

Do you live with a gap between how you behave and what you believe. Many of us do to some degree, but the goal is to close that gap and make sure our ministry matches our message. In this podcast Charlie continues in Philippians where Paul is encouraging the believer to live up to the gospel that we've been given.  

In this podcast series, Charlie walks us through the book of Philippians. Today the focus is Philippians chapter 1 verses 1-8. We live in an age with "super-connectivity" where everyone is quickly and easily reached. But the problem that has arisen in the culture is we are actually more disconnected than ever. This causes a lot of isolation and loneliness which is a significant problem and only ge...

Good things happen when we give. Sharing our finances can be a delicate subject to talk about, but the Apostle Paul wanted the Philippian Church to know the reality of his and their situations. When Paul first met them, he did not ask for financial support, but they were generous with him. Like the Philippians, though not rich, we can still give out of poverty. When we do, the recipients of our gi...

Is your goal to attain to full Christlikeness? It was for the Apostle Paul. When he describes his pursuit, we see a profile of a Christian determined to win the prize of a deeper intimacy with Christ.  Like Paul, we must be dissatisfied with our present condition, devoted to a single goal of pursuing Christ, directed in our advance towards Him, determined to persist, and disciplined in mind and bo...
