We’ve all seen it – the athlete scores a goal and points to Heaven, or someone shouts, “To God be the glory!” But have you ever wondered if God is really waiting for us to pump up His glory meter?
In this episode, I flip the script on the concept of giving God glory. Spoiler alert: God doesn’t need anything from you, and He already has all the glory! That’s right, He’s not sitting around waiting for you to send more glory His way.

Belinda’s friend asked her, “If God sent plagues upon Egypt, then why wouldn’t we expect the same from Him today?”

Marcy called in to our radio program to ask about this controversial passage:
But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons. (1 Timothy 4:1)
Fall away from the faith? What does this mean? Is it about believers who are distracted? Is it about loss of salvation? Or does it mean something else?

If you’re living under grace, you might wonder if the Old Testament is even relevant now. A recent caller asked if the Old Testament is still important, or if it just adds confusion.
In this thought-provoking video clip, I highlight several profound insights we discover in the Old Testament.
Listen now and discover how the entire Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, comes alive like a 3-D movie when you view it through “grace glasses”!

What is the Trinity? How do we know the Trinity is an accurate view of God if the Bible never actually uses that terminology? Peter called in to our radio program to ask this, because his son – who recently became a believer – asked him about the Trinity.
In this episode, I address the idea of the Trinity, using Scripture to support it. I hope this helps you clarify in your mind what is definitely a challenging concept!

If we’re totally forgiven, then is God’s grace a “license to sin”? And doesn’t it seem like so many believers are sinning just fine without this “license”? Does God’s grace somehow inspire us to sin even more?

Scripture tells us that the “day of the Lord” will come like a thief in the night. But the uncertain timing of Christ’s return and the final judgment can leave us uneasy, wondering if we’re truly prepared.
Many think of readiness as a checklist of activities or behaviors. But if being prepared required action on our part, Christianity would be a pretty scary proposition! Thankfully, the New Testament reveals that believers are ready...

Paul tells us everyone who belongs to God has the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9). John tells us everyone who has eternal life has Jesus (1 Jn. 5:12). And Ephesians says we’ve been blessed with every spiritual blessing.
So is “getting the Holy Spirit” really a second blessing that occurs later? This was John’s question when he called in to our radio program. In this short episode, I share the simple truth about being baptized in the Holy S...

Trudy from Utah heard in a sermon recently that God looks at her “as if” she’s righteous. It gave here the impression that God is faking Himself out when it comes to her.
Is God only pretending you are righteous? Or has a fundamental transformation occurred within you that actually made you righteous? Is your righteousness merely “imputed” (credited) or has it been “imparted” (given) to you?
We hope you enjoyed this episode. Since we...

The permanence of your salvation is an important truth we’ll never stop proclaiming at The Grace Message. (Sadly, there are still far too many teaching you can lose your salvation!)

There’s a common misconception that 1 John 1:9 instructs Christians to confess their sins to be forgiven and cleansed by God every day.
The idea that God forgives your past sins at salvation but then leaves you with the burden of confessing each sin going forward to remain forgiven, misses the incredible power of the true Gospel message.
In this call, I unpack the proper context of this passage, proving it’s not directed at believers...

George struggled so much with sin that it got to the point where he wondered if God was fed up with him. Was this the end for George? Was God so angry and frustrated that He was through with George? These were his concerns.
So, can you out-sin the grace of God? Will the blood of Jesus run out on you? And if not, then what’s the motivation for upright living anyway?
In this call, I address these crucial questions about forgiveness and...
