GraceNotes is a weekly publication of Bill Knott, former Editor/Executive Publisher of Adventist Review/Adventist World magazines. Take the opportunity to share a favorite GraceNote from this page with someone you’re praying for, or someone who simply needs to hear the good news of God’s unfailing l...

No one really wants to sing the blues. We only want to hear other people singing the blues.
It’s hard to believe that a homeless, hungry, abandoned soul would choose to write a song about it. Surviving takes all your energy. But listening to someone else lamenting their pretended sorrows somehow makes us feel better about our not-so-bad lives.
And yet of Jesus—our Redeemer—the Bible sings, “He was despised and rejected—a man of sorrows, acquainted with deepest grief” (Isa 53:3).
His suffering was no accident, no cruel twist of cosmic fate. “He was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed” (Isa 53:5).
Grace was Christ’s choice to live our blues so that our destinies would be forever changed. Jesus says, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10).
A new and hopeful song is yours. Grace still amazes.
So stay in it. -Bill Knott

SINGING OUR SONG (May 17, 2024)

We love our sugary success stories—the sweet and gripping fantasies we hope might someday happen to us.
“Mailroom clerk becomes company CEO.” “Out-of-luck waitress wins huge lottery.” “Overlooked teen becomes Hollywood megastar.” We quietly insert our names to secretly imagine the powerful, wealthy, famous life we wish was ours. We live vicariously their stories of success.
But when a loving God reached down to change our fates, He didn’t promise the penthouse office, a large portfolio, or millions of adoring fans. “God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong” (1 Cor 1:27).
The Lord of whom the Bible says, “He existed before anything else, and He holds all creation together” (Col 1:17), entered our story as the weakest of the weak—without status; without wealth; without popularity. And His success—stunning, cosmic, eternal—caused Him to die vicariously for us, in place of us, to heal our brokenness and pride.
“Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive His new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them” (2 Cor 5:14-15).
Grace revels in a victory we didn’t win, and celebrates a future only God could give us. And it’s no fantasy.
So stay in grace. -Bill Knott

RAGS TO RICHES (May 10, 2024)

An old gospel hymn plaintively asks the question in the last line of each verse: “Where could I go but to the Lord?”
The hymnwriter noted the deep challenges of everyday life in a broken world. He deplored the lack of things he needed to make life even minimally comfortable. He wrestled with the ever-present temptation to give up on God’s call to a new life in Christ. At the end of the day—and at the end of the song—the answer to his rhetorical question was and always is—"Nowhere else.”
His line reminds us of the words of one of Jesus’ closest followers. At a moment when many “sunshine disciples” were turning away from Him, Jesus asked His disciples, “Will you also go away?” Peter spoke for the small number who remained: “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” (John 6:68).
No combination of material things, cherished friends, or promises of personal achievement and business success can ever approach the value of the promise Jesus makes to all who put their trust in Him: “I have loved you with an everlasting love. That is why I have continued to be faithful to you” (Jer 31:3). “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God” (Eph 2:8).
Grace is the refuge to which the wise always run. Be wise, and find the forever safety your heart craves.
And stay in grace. -Bill Knott

NOWHERE ELSE (May 03, 2024)

“That’s old news.” 
In an information-obsessed world, that may be the ultimate put-down. Round-the clock—and endlessly repetitive—reporting crackles from hundreds of cable television channels. All-news radio stations compete for our ears when screens can’t have our eyes. Newspapers, which for two centuries held the world in thrall, now struggle with declining circulations because so much has changed in the eight hours between final edits and home delivery. The news they carry might now be “old.”
Before we greet the day, or our spouses—or the Lord—we scan our screens on smartphones and tablets, starving for the latest news of disasters near and far, scandals among the famous, and a world bristling with violence.
But the ultimate value of information is something other than urgency. Is it true? Is it relevant? And most importantly: Is it good—and good for us?
The Bible reminds us that the best news is often the oldest—the enduring truth that never ages: “God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them” (2 Cor 5:19). “God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us” (Rom 5:8).
That news has been around for centuries—two millennia, in fact. And nothing has diminished its truth, its relevance, and its essential goodness.
Grace is always timely—and enduring.
So stay in it. -Bill KNott

BETTER NEWS (April 26, 2024)

A mother’s deep affection for her newborn child is completely understandable. The nine months they’ve spent journeying together—and a surge of maternal hormones—create an instant, fierce attraction to that red and wrinkled infant gazing solemnly into her eyes.
A young couple’s giddy delight in each other at the wedding altar is completely understandable. Months of shared memories and reverent promises have propelled them to this moment—along with a surge of powerful biochemicals. Nothing could be more natural.
A young soldier’s deep loyalty to the men who have battled alongside him, guarded his back, and rescued him in deepest danger is completely understandable. We were designed to show love back to those who first loved us.
But what explains God’s deep and fervent affection for millions of human beings who have never warmed to His attention, trusted in His promises, or appreciated His vigilant protection? There’s nothing natural—or understandable—about it. God chooses of His own marvelous free will to love those who ignore Him, seek those who consistently disobey His rules, and embrace those who crucified His Son. “In this is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins” (1 John 4:20).
“This is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
Receiving the gift of God’s persistent grace doesn’t mean that we can ever fully explain it or understand it. But go ahead: embrace the mystery.
And stay in grace. -Bill Knott

THE GREATEST MYSTERY (April 19, 2024)

GraceNotes Podcast

Applying Gods word into our lives is easier said than done. It is my belief that God wants us to live a fulfilling life while here on earth 

“Don’t fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.”
‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:6-7‬ ‭MSG‬‬

What is your antidote to worrying?

Hebrews 11 vs 1                                            “To have Faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see”

The Art of Faith

Have we been called to be perfect? Is perfectionism possible?

Christianity vs Perfectionism

Necessity of vulnerability in allowing the Holy Spirit to walk with us.

Der Podcast, in dem wir uns trauen zu fragen.

Die erste Folge nach dem großen Abschied hat es in sich: Lars hat Tobias Faix zu Gast und reden über spannende Fragen wie „Was ist eigentlich Theologie?“, sprechen mit ihm über eine besondere Frage an Nelson Mandela und finden dabei ganz nebenbei sein Lebensthema…

Shownotes:
Hier findet ihr den großartigen Podcast von Tobias und Thorsten: https://karte-und-gebiet.de/

Und zur Retreat von J.O.E.-Tours geht’s hier lang: https://joe-tours.de/event/1165699

Fragen wagen 038 -Lebensthema?!

In dieser Folge sprechen Philip, Basti und Lars über Vergangenes, wagen neue Fragen in neuen Kategorien und schauen in die Zukunft: Von sich selbst und von diesem Podcast. Seid gespannt, was sie so zu erzählen haben.

Fragen wagen 037 -Abschied?!

Es ist wieder soweit! Eine neue Fragen wagen Folge! Dieses Mal trifft sich Lars mit seinem alten Studienkollegen Paddy und spricht mit ihm über Gott und die Welt. Ein besonderes Augenmerk legen die beiden dabei auf die Frage, wie man eigentlich als Christ am Ball bleiben kann oder wie der Arbeitstitel ursprünglich war, „wie man überleben kann“. Sie sprechen über Zweifel, Bibellesen und noch Vieles mehr… sogar der alte Kirchenvater Augustin kommt vor. ;) Also: Seid gespannt!

Paddy und Maxi im Podcast „Kater unser“: https://www.podcast.de/podcast/917491/kater-unser

Fragen wagen 036 -Dranbleiben als Christ - aber wie?!

Wer die Wahl hat, hat die Qual! - So sagt es das Sprichwort. Aber trifft das auf unsere Berufswahl auch zu? Oder sind wir zu etwas berufen und wir brauchen "nur" noch folgen? Basti und Philip sprechen diese und viele weitere Fragen zum Thema Beruf oder Berufung an. Welche Bedeutung hat die Ausübung ihrer Berufe/Berufungen? Welche Bedeutung hat dein (zukünftiger) Beruf/ deine Berufung für dich?

Fragen wagen 035 - Beruf oder Berufung?!

Basti und Lars sprechen dieses Mal über Krisen- denn das scheint aktuell einfach so ziemlich alles zu beherrschen. Egal, ob Ukraine, Corona oder auch Klima: Krisen beeinflussen unser aller Leben.
Die Beiden diskutieren drüber und (Premiere!) schauen auch mal in die Welt des Sports. Und nicht zuletzt geht es darum, wie man damit umgehen kann.

Noch ein kleiner Hinweis zu der Folge: Wir haben sie vor dem Krieg in der Ukraine aufgenommen. So manches von dem Gesagten mag heute mit dem, was wir nun wissen, so klingen, dass wir vielleicht Putins Ansichten rechtfertigen wollten. Dem ist nicht so! Krieg verurteilen wir!! Ohne wenn und aber.

Dizei-lhe que o Senhor precisa dele, e logo o deixará trazer para aqui. 4 E foram, e encontraram o jumentinho preso fora da porta, entre dois caminhos, e o soltaram.

Turn Aside is a Bible Study Podcast of The City Gates Church in Fairfax, VA. Our desire is for listeners to 'turn aside' from their busy lives and take time to study God's Word. Many of the series on this podcast are produced to accompany our church's Men's & Women's Small Group Bible Studies which ...

As we finish our study through the book of Deuteronomy we are reminded by Moses and the Israelites to "embrace the journey" and to remember that the destination is not the Promised Land but "being with Jesus".  
 
 
 *Note: it was implied on the podcast that they may have read the law every year at Feast of Tabs, but the Scripture says it was every 7 years at the year of release that they were to do this reading. 

Deuteronomy Lesson 13

Some nuggets from today: "What you love transforms what you do", "It's the hard that reveals His good", "Choose to remember". As we survey the blessings and curses from these chapters we are challenged to "Choose life" and live it to the fullest in Christ!

Deuteronomy Lesson 12

As we finish our journey through the Law we take a few more listener questions, discuss topics like Worship, Sex, Marriage, and God's overall value of life. God's Word truly touches and affects every area of our lives, the more we let Him in the better!

Deuteronomy Lesson 11

God is in the details... In this lesson we look at a smattering of miscellaneous laws that cover everything from principles of giving and partiality to the details of how to/how not to harvest your crops or care for birds. If God's eye is on the sparrow, you can be sure He cares about the details of your life. Our God is a relational God!

Deuteronomy Lesson 10

The Bible says that? Today we address some listener questions about obscure laws and practices, and in the process we are forced to deal with our own idols as a society and as individuals. What unclean things are you consuming these days? If we don't take sin seriously, sin will seriously take us.

Deuteronomy Lesson 9

Good Friday is a mixed bag for Christians. Some treat the day very seriously, some churches have special services, and other Christians simply skip Good Friday and go straight to celebrating Easter. But what should we think about Good Friday? Rather than telling you how to celebrate Good Friday, I want to tell you how we should think through the events. Specifically, I want to spend this episode discussing how Good Friday was a day when much more was going on than what met the eyes of Jesus' ...
