GRACE GOSPEL (Christ living His life through people).

Is about what God has done for us to bring us into relational journey with Himself for us to establish loving relationships with people.

The Grace Gospel was God's method of replacing the Law which showed our inability to gain and maintain right standing with Himself.

The Bible is viewed as the written word of God that points to the living Word of God (Jesus) and is best understood when viewed through the lens of Jesus. If what we believe the Bible is teaching does not line up with Jesus who is the express image of His Father, then we need to conform to the Jesus view of God.

The motivation to live right, and live in obedience is love realizing that it is God's doing not man's doing.

Ministry is God ministering to people through us, it is not our work.
Man has no ability to provide the means or do anything to gain favor with God or for God to love him any more or do anything for God to love him any less.

God imputes His righteousness to us and we no longer have to persue righteousness by the observance of rules or laws.

The Bible is valid to teach us about the character of Jesus, but it is Jesus Himself who is our source. Our hope is not in the Bible, it is in Jesus. The work we are involved in is His work not our work.

Our fellowship relationship with God is continually revealing the glory of God to us void of religious influence.

Our activities are motivated by love and the life of Christ within, not by religious duties.

We rest in God, allowing Him to work His work through us as we work WITH Him not FOR Him.

Jesus and His life within us is the way, the truth and the life.

DO NOT FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING OF YOURSELVES TOGETHER! by David Yeubanks

“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together" (Hebrews 10:25), is a common verse cited by Christians who believe that if you're not attending weekly meetings or plugged in a church denomination that you are somehow out of sync with Scripture and, for all practical purposes, "backsliding". Some refer to the out of church crowd as rebels, or the walking wounded and this verse is often given as the prescription. But is "attending church" really what the author of Hebrews had in mind here? YES THE BIBLE SAY’S NOT TO FORSAKE THE ASSEMBLING TOGETHER? NOTICE IT DOES NOT SAY DO NOT FORSAKE THE "ASSEMBLY" OR CHURCH BUILDING. First of all, it is essential that we understand the meaning of the word "church" as it is used in the Bible. These comments, while being historically and biblically sound, are not meant to suggest that Christians should not meet together, share fellowship, pray or preach the Word of God. If that is the conclusion

The Abusive Tool of Fear-Mongering.

  Fear mongering is an abusive tool used by religion which cripples and limits one's spiritual growth to mature to the full stature of Christ. The fear mongering propaganda that is used as a means to get people saved speaks volumes about the quality of love used to try and scare people to become Christ followers. The scriptures declare that is is the “goodness of God that leads to repentance.” Another characteristic of  fear mongering believers is that they believe that natural disasters are God’s doing and are warnings or punishment for the sin of sinning people. Their sin consciousnesses has blurred their God consciousnesses to where they see God as the big bad wolf waiting to pounce on somebody for sinning. Natural disasters have happened at different times throughout history. Theses events have been used by money hungry fear-mongers to write books of impending doom, passed of as the gospel by using out-of-context scripture verses to validate the acceptance and sale of t

A Bloggers Take on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" and "Hell".

HAPPY DADS AND THE HORRORS OF HELL by Jeff Turner Jonathan Edwards once said the following words: “Reprobate infants are vipers of vengeance, which Jehovah will hold over hell, in the tongs of his wrath, till they turn and spit venom in his face!” Elsewhere, Edwards asked the question: “Can the believing father in Heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in Hell?” Now, a bit of clarification: Edwards is not referring to God when he speaks of the “believing father in Heaven”. Rather, he is speaking an earthly father who enters Heaven, while His children are sentenced to an eternity in Hell. One would assume that Edwards’ answer to this question would be something akin to, “Nay! And a thousand times nay!”. Unfortunately, his answer was as follows: “…it [the sight of his children in Hell] will increase rather than diminish his bliss.” To be honest with you, I’m not sure if I’ve ever read more demonic, and putrid words in all of my life. I have a level of respec
