Radical Grace/The Lutheran Difference

Brothers and Sisters, are you obsessed with end times? Does ever prophecy that comes out of the mouths of today's would be prophets keep you glued to the edge of your seat? Does Harold Camping make you salivate? Does Global Warming and the prediction of future destruction by the likes of Al Gore make you giddy? Does news of dwindling resources and Martial Law make your stomach quiver? Well, you my friend, are likely an "Apocoholic". In this edition of Radical Grace Radio, we turn our problem over to a the Highest power.

In this edition of Radical Grace Radio, We talk about Math. Yup, you read that right. It's a simple formula, one that can easily destroy a Christian. A = God's will for your life. B = God's blessings. If performing A Leads to B, then performing A squared leads to B squared, right? But B hasn't been worked out properly and like Pi hasn't been fully expressed nor can it be fully expressed. So in response, we give a framework for understanding the Gospel. You read that correctly too. Listen to find out why it's important.

This edition of Radical Grace Radio is contagious. Literally, if you were in the studio with me that is. Pastor makes fun of me and my voice. Admittedly I sound terrible. So today's show was a stream of consciousness show about the Image of God, the Olympics, the Curiosity Rover, Life on other planets, what would happen to theology if life were to be discovered on other planets.

On this week's Radical Grace Radio we talked about an article by Brian Housman on the Christian Messenger website titled "Reasons why teenagers abandon Christianity!" It was an insightful article with some rather damning conclusions, and since nearly all the church everywhere is deeply concerned about this issue, we thought it was important. Click here to read the article. Pastor also has a few things to say to everyone about "getting filled with the Spirit"... Another topic that in the last one hundred has never left the minds of Christians. After all, if we could all just get filled up, we could fix a lot of problems, right?

In this week's Radical Grace Radio, we would be remiss if we didn't talk about the shooting in Aurora Colorado, and address the topic of Making Sense out of Suffering. Again, the talk is "how could God allow this to happen?" We give our answer, but more importantly we offer help for coping with this and other tragedies in our lives. For those touched by the events in Aurora, our hearts and prayers are tuned to lift up your situation to God in this difficult time.

Is the so called "Sinner's Prayer" Biblically valid? Is there really a way to know that you are saved? Did you know that the way to know that is connected to your baptism? This edition of Radical Grace Radio investigates the Southern Baptist Convention, the Sinner's Prayer, Decision theology, and more.

Does our lack of faith have any effect on Jesus' ability to do what he promised? Is our sinfulness something that can stop God from doing all the good things he wants to do in this life for his children? More trouble has been caused in the last 20 years by this teaching that just about anything else, so Pastor Gary is intent on destroying this stronghold, for good.

In this edition of Radical Grace Radio we analyze an incident that occurred in Dearborne Mich, where a group of Christians were stoned by Muslims... or so the story goes. But more importantly we examine a situation where a Synagogue leader named Jairus has a problem: His daughter is dying and Jesus is standing around listening to a long drawn out story about blood and doctors.

In this edition of Radical Grace Radio, we talk about Seeds... You know, Mustard Seeds, Abraham's Seed, stuff about the Reign of God. Powerful seeds in fact, powerful enough to take over the garden... and the fact that those seeds are carried by highly breakable jars of clay. People just like us.

The church at large has always been rife with those who would manipulate people, and these days are no exception. In this edition of Radical Grace Radio we talk about some of the stupid things that happen in our own church body along with the stupid things going on in Evangelicalism. Just to be fair, because there's been plenty of stupid to go around of late.
