Christianity Isn’t Only about Obedience (Bad Theology Tuesday)

 

 

A lot of times folks fall into the trap of thinking that the Christian faith is all about your obedience, your life change, and your keeping the 10 Commandments. But that’s not only backwards, it completely misses the point. The Christian faith is all about saving you. It’s all about Jesus Christ and Him crucified, for you. His love for you, not your love for Him.

Christianity Is NOT Just a Bunch of Rules (Bad Theology Tuesday)

 

 

There’s probably no worse observation of Christianity than it being a bunch of rules. You couldn’t get Christianity more wrong than that! Yes, there ARE rules, there IS the Law. And the Law makes us die to the idea that we can save ourselves by following a bunch of rules. But Christianity is all about the Son of God’s suffering and death for you and in your place.

How Forgiving is Jesus? (Fun Word Friday)

 

 

When reading Matthew 12:32 we worry about blaspheming the Holy Spirit and committing the “unforgivable sin.” But verse 31 says that Jesus forgives all sin! God forgives ALL sins in the suffering and death of His Son. Outside of Him, reject Him, if you don’t believe in Him…you pay the price for your sins. And in Him, every sin is forgiven.

Jesus, Your Pastor, & Your Neighbor (Bible Study Thursday) – Gal. 6:16-18

 

 

This week Pastor Borghardt (finally) reaches the end of the book of Galatians. The point of all this is to remind you you’re not saved by something you do or don’t do. What matters is Christ’s suffering and death for you received by faith alone. He alone saves you. Join us next Thursday to see what book we read together next! Peace be with you.

Did Jesus Actually Rise from the Dead? (What’s UP Wednesday)

 

 

The evidence is pretty compelling, if you actually look at it. Christians have good reason to believe Jesus rose from the dead. Our religion is not crazy! The Bible records at least a dozen times witnesses saw Jesus again. And most of those people died horribly, confessing that belief. If Christ rose, then everything He said was true! Your sins have been forgiven.

Did Jesus Actually Die? (Bad Theology Tuesday)

 

 

A lot of people don’t believe that Jesus actually died. But all of the witness accounts — all of them — confess that He was dead. He was so dead, the soldiers pierced His side with a spear and blood and water flowed out. Everyone who was there bore witness to Jesus actually dying on the cross that day. To say otherwise is just absurd.

The TRUE Glory of God (Lectionary Monday)

 

 

The glory and majesty of God is not found in the shekinah, not in the pillars of fire and smoke, not in the burning bush. It’s not found in that feeling that you have when you’re singing your favorite hymn. It’s not in the sky or the cosmos. The true glory and majesty of Almighty God is found in the suffering and death of Jesus on the cross for you.

Triskaidekaphobia – Should You Be Scared? (Fun Word Friday)

The thing you need to ask when about superstitions is: Is Jesus alive? Did He die for you? And did He rise again? Because Christ died and rose from the dead, that means that God is good for you every day. No matter what happens in your life, it’s going to work out just fine. You are the baptized. Jesus is going to carry you through, one way or another.
