Salvation (870)
  1. The desire to go home—or to find the place where one truly belongs—is latent in every human being.
  2. Jesus is the Word of God. God’s Word—on two legs (John 1:14). I’d read it in the first chapter of John’s Gospel many, many times.
  3. Divine election hacking happens with the proposal that God’s Word is irrelevant and powerless, weak and impotent.
  4. The salvation of wretched sinners by an omni-holy and forever-righteous God is, by all accounts, a categorical impossibility.
  5. Thank God for heroes: they inspire us to be better, to help others, to live and work for the good of our race. And thank God for villains, too: they incarnate our shadow side, our nocturnal soul, the dragon within us that must incessantly have its throat slit on the altar of repentance.
  6. Since Adam, we are all illegal and undocumented aliens in God’s country.
  7. Perhaps the answer to creating a healthier church and a more invested people is found in preaching more clearly the full freeing Gospel.
  8. 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!
  9. 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.
  10. I have been very busy lately, trying to understand things.
  11. What we notice less often is that this same fear wonders about both the efficacy of the Gospel and the Law.
  12. We are saved by grace, and strictly speaking, not by an offer.
