Salvation (840)
  1. Perhaps the answer to creating a healthier church and a more invested people is found in preaching more clearly the full freeing Gospel.
  2. Judgement is not a fun topic to talk about, usually. Fortunately we have the Rev Bill Cwirla who was not only a lot of fun, but actually turned judgement into a hopeful doctrine!
  3. On this show we discuss a clause in the creed that is sometimes overlooked. Being seated at the Right Hand of the Father might seem like an abstract theological idea, but Rev Donovan Riley centers the doctrine in the history of the church and the Gospel.
  4. I have been very busy lately, trying to understand things.
  5. What we notice less often is that this same fear wonders about both the efficacy of the Gospel and the Law.
  6. We are saved by grace, and strictly speaking, not by an offer.
  7. As I write this, I wonder if perhaps I am stretching things a bit thinking that it would be relevant to a considerably more sophisticated audience. Perhaps we already know the Gospel, that we are all sinners.
  8. I visited a senior man at his home the other day. I'll refer to him as “Jim.”
  9. I am not a good Lutheran. I have only been around reformation theology for a few years.
  10. He begins with Jesus and ends with Jesus. He is not going to try to complete what Jesus starts.
  11. God’s grace is extended to the incorrigible alcoholic as well as to us, the more sophisticated sinners and drunks.
  12. The Christian sees himself or herself as one just as guilty as the rest of the world. But we see ourselves not just as what’s wrong with the world, but in the One by whom the world has been redeemed.
