Simply By Grace Podcast

In this podcast, Charlie speaks about moving from salvation to discipleship. Many come into the family of God and have a desire to move from milk of the word to the meat. But many churches today are stunted and don't move away from the milk of the word so the people starve and stagnate. God clearly teaches us that He desires for us to grow. Having a life after salvation is supposed to be abundant. Christians are meant to live an abundant, overflowing life.

In this podcast Charlie speaks about the topic of evangelism, specifically addressing the lack of winning people for Christ. What can we do to help improve the status and win people of Christ? How can we get the message out, how should we share the gospel? Have you ever led someone to faith in Christ? 

What is Lordship salvation and how does it affect the gospel for the unbeliever and also the believer?  In this podcast, Charlie is speaking at Bear Creek Bible church and gives an overview of Lordship and Free Grace. He focuses on four aspects that are key in the debate: Faith,  Repentance,  Lordship, and Discipleship. For example, faith, to those who espouse Lordship, equals submission, as opposed to simply being convinced of something as true. In other words, a person cannot be saved unless they submit to Christ fully. You have to make Jesus "Lord" of all of your life; hence the name Lordship salvation.

Have you ever despised doing something around the house or taking on a job that you hated?  

Ever been accused of a wasted life? Have you ever regretted doing something or maybe not doing something? I think we all have regrets to one degree or another and I think we would all change something about our lives. In this podcast, Charlie walks us through Paul's view of his life, one of joy, despite his circumstances. In Philippians 1:19-26 we find out three characteristics in making a life of no regrets.

In this podcast Charlie looks at what the key is to Christian unity.  Ever been around Christians you can't stand? Ever wonder why there are so many different denominations? How many church splits have you heard of? When we have problems on the horizontal level with one another, it usually stems from a vertical problem towards God. 

But it's important to have unity for many reasons, one being it affects your witness. The public takes note of disunity and becomes hardened by religion. It's a constant problem of the church. So how do we resolve this and how should we respond? Find out in this episode as Charlie walks us through Paul's words in Philippians.

Charlie spoke at a conference on the topic of moving towards a deeper fellowship  with a focus on the book of First John. Some of the passages in  First John are difficult to deal with, challenging to the believer  not only to understand but also in practice. Charlie helps unwind some of the  issues by  explaining the various views.

There are some people who believe disciples are born not made. In other words they claim that every Christian is a disciple. That is to say, when a person first  believes they must meet all the conditions of discipleship in order to be saved.

There are many organizations in this world that have standards for entrance into the "club." Some charge fees, while other say you must have a certain income level or be from a certain family lineage. But what does it take to get into heaven, what is the standard that must be met? What is the condition for salvation?  Is salvation easy? Is the idea of faith alone in Christ alone lowering the standard to get into heaven or must there be something else?
