Radical Grace/The Lutheran Difference

In this edition of Radical Grace Radio; since we noticed there's a bit of a dust up of confusion about what the uses of the law are (from some rather surprising places I might add) it seemed good also to us to lay down the law on third use of the Law.

Ever wonder what Jesus means when he says, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation."? Today is the day to learn. We go through the entire book of Jonah in a half an hour! Ok, so it's a short one, but it's loaded with some really good stuff.

On this week's edtion of Radical Grace Radio, we talk about... Of all things... Pentecost. But first we talk about 70 elders and prophesying, and other God's spirit stuff. Why? Because there's so much confusion out there about Pentecost, the Holy Spirit, and being filled with the Holy Spirit, that it has to be done. It has to be.

This week on Radical Grace Radio we continue to teach on the topic "Distinctly Jesus". Last week it was how Jesus handles forgiveness, how he talks about it, how dispenses it liberally. This week it's about hypocrisy. Yep, that dreaded H word. But there's something cool to think about in this leg of study. Jesus seems to talk about hypocrisy in a specific way. And of course there's reboot central.

Christianity has encountered a fatal error. Help us Reboot!

Of all the people in the scriptures, both Old Testament and New, no one talks about forgiveness the way Jesus Christ, or Lord, does. He goes around forgiving sins with impunity. He forgives the sins of a paralytic before he heals him, allows a sinful woman to touch him, quite smartly prevent the stoning death of a woman caught in adultry, and like no one else he does this in such a one sided way. The Lamb of God, going around forgiving, event though HE is to be the one put to death for the sins of each person he personally forgave face to face.

Is there an Important message in Jesus' way of doing things? Listen to this week's Radical Grace Radio to find out.

Second half of the hour, the Gloves come off concerning the Beatification of the Pope John Paul II. AntiChristic language compared to what you get in Protestant circles. Tridentine Catholicism compared with the Bible... Good stuff, but in the first half, we steal back for you 1 Peter 1:3-8 from those who would steal it from you.

1Pe 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1Pe 1:4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, 1Pe 1:5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 1Pe 1:6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 1Pe 1:7 These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 1Pe 1:8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, 1Pe 1:9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.

The significance of Holy Week, and is it ever right for a Christian to stand up for their rights if they are being mistreated?

An email from Matt in Colorado:

The question I've been pondering and wonder if you would take up is this: Is it ever appropriate for a Christian to make the claim for themselves that they are treated unjustly? Of course, we look out for those treated unjustly, but Christ didn't defend himself as being treated unjustly even though he was, and if we are serious about loving our enemies and trusting in God's justice, do we ever get to make the claim that we, personally, are being treated unjustly? What would be the basis for me to make that claim about myself if I believe in God's love, discipline and justice?
