1. The gospel is not an if-then proposition for us to achieve by works, but a done-deal completion by Christ alone which we receive by faith. Even as a good tree bears good fruit, a living faith does living things: it confesses, believes and trusts in Christ above all things. Today, Craig and Troy dive into all of these issues and more on "For You Radio."
  2. On this day, we remember the Benedictine abbess and mystic Hildegard von Bingen, and congregationalist Samuel Hopkins, born in 1721. The reading is from Hildegard von Bingen, "O spectabiles viri."
  3. We remember the third council of Constantinople which ended on this day in 681. We also remember the birthday of J.B. Phillips–Bible translator and author. The reading is "The Gift" by William Carlos Williams.
  4. On this day, we remember the 16th St. Baptist Church Bombings in 1963 and the birthday of notorious Anglican turned Baptist, Titus Oates, in 1649. The reading is "Be Still My Soul" by Kathrina von Schlegel.
  5. Chad and Daniel begin the book of Joshua in this episode. Moses is dead, and Joshua is about to lead the people into the promised land.

  7. So we bailed on that reality and we came to this one. Gillespie and Riley continue to discuss The Pilgrim's Progress. This episode, why fight demons when God will do it for you?
  8. The doctrine of election is a doctrine of comfort for all who believe . . . that means it’s for you! Romans 9 is all about the nature of God, and His very nature is to be merciful to the Jew and the Gentile, for the unbeliever and the believer alike. We understand election rightly when our faith looks not at itself, but to Christ.
  9. On this day, we celebrate the feast of St. John Chrysostom, notable Christian preacher. And we recognize the birthday of English translator of German hymnody, Catherine Winkworth. The reading is an excerpt from Chrysostom's Easter Sermon.
