Grace Abides with Nick & Andy

Martin Luther loved Galatians. In fact, he referred to it as "Catherine von Bora" (his wife) because he said "I am married to it." 

In this episode we talk about grace, peace, other gospels, and life as a pastor. 

In this episode we continue talking about the rapture, and we talk about how we read the Bible. Specifically, all verses are important, but which verses should we build our faith on, and why? 

The "Left Behind" series of books brought the Christian understanding of the rapture into the mainstream. But where did the idea of the rapture come from? Is the rapture coming soon? What about the tribulation and the millennium? In the episode we talk about these theological concepts, and more. 

How do we grieve? As people of faith, and even as people who struggle with faith, what do we do with pain, or emptiness? 

Grief is a bigger part of life than we want to admit. Our grief is obvious when we lose a loved one, but less obvious at other times. Good things can even cause us to grieve, like moving for a better job, becoming an empty nester, and retiring. 

In this episode we talk about all of this and more. 

What does the Bible say heaven is going to be like? 
What are we going to when we get there? 
Will we know others?
Will we see our loved ones?

In this episode we take a look at these great questions, and more.

In this episode we look at the following questions:

- Why are some books including in some Bibles, but not others? 
- Which translation is best, and why? 

Jesus died for our salvation and for the forgiveness of our sins, but what does that mean? Could we have been forgiven without his death? Was his death a ransom, or did he pay a penalty on our behalf? 

In this episode, we take a detailed look at five different atonement theories, and ask, which one makes sense to you? 

Jesus tells us to love our neighbor, but how do we do that? Here are 14 ways to show love, according to 1 Corinthians 13.
