August 31, 2018 Digging Deeper: Are The Dead Really Dead? (September 2018)
Is it true, after all that life’s two great certainties are death and taxes? Taxes, we know, involve different brackets for different income levels. Some people think it should be the same for death, with nicer people getting nicer brackets in death. In this Adventist Review podcast, fine arts specialist Giselle Hasel, theologian Lael Caesar and psychologist Grant Leitma comment on “near death experiences”, links between death and the occult, and the role of death and its mysteries in arts and entertainment today. Listen in and join the conversation. www.adventistreview.org

August 31, 2018 Searching The Obvious - The Recital
"Where can I go from your spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence?” (Psalm 139:7, NRSV) “Searching the Obvious” focuses on how the Holy Spirit is ever active in our surroundings and in our lives, urging us to serve others. Personal stories challenge the reader to be mindful of our Christian Walk, recognize our own fallibility and slow down to ‘search the obvious’, the active presence of the Holy Spirit ever always around us.

August 24, 2018 GraceNotes: Grace Moved By Love (August 24, 2018)
The motive for the grace of God is nothing other than the love of God. It's His unquenchable affection that moves Him to continually arrest our flickering attention; warm our icy hearts; heal our self-inflected wounds; and wash away our sins. Grace isn't given to make us lovable or acceptable, but because we have been, are now, and always will be deeply loved. The prodigal was loved before he repented and came home-and even if he spurned the Father's marvelous forgiveness-for love is how the Father is. You cannot earn the Father's love. You cannot lose the Father's love. Depend on it. And stay in grace. -Bill Knott

August 17, 2018 A Hymn To Grace (August 17, 2018)
It’s tough to sing of liberating grace when all we know are dirges about effort. We chorus qualities designed to keep us climbing (ever upward!)—songs of courage, risk, and faith—but then discover that we’re badly, sadly lacking in all three. Our promises are “ropes of sand.” Our self-talk leads to critical self-doubt. Unyielding guilt dries up our tongues. But there’s an anthem tuned to hope, and yes, it’s all about the Lord: “We have heard a joyful sound—Jesus saves, Jesus saves!” The finest songs begin with Him, and end with Him, and He’s in every note between. We sing of His success, not ours; of His compassion, not our plans. “Shout salvation full and free, Highest hills and deepest caves, This our song of victory, Jesus saves, Jesus saves.” Stay in grace. -Bill Knott

August 10, 2018 GraceNotes: God's Gracious Timeline (August 10, 2018)
Believing in the grace of God includes believing that it came to us at the right time. In kindness, Jesus offers us the lifeline just when we want and need it—neither too soon, when we would have scoffed at rescue, nor too late, when we would have been completely sunk. If we imagine we would have welcomed grace much earlier, we underestimate our own deceitful hearts—and underestimate God’s deft and flawless timing. God’s grace is always right on time—at just the point we finally agree how lost we were and how found we are. No longer fret in vain regret: your grace arrived when you were ready for it. So stay in grace. -Bill Knott
