The Third Option

It's easy to be influenced by outer authority - pastors, celebrities, denominations. There is pressure all around us that encourages us to live, think, and act a certain, but as believers, we have something better than what the world has to offer.

The Holy Spirit within us is our friend, a gentle voice that offers guidance, wisdom, and comfort. It's our reminder that we have access to all we need in Christ!

Have you ever been rejected? Did you then feel like something was wrong with you because of it?

Living authentically means that you accept your true self, in spite of your imperfections. When we live honestly and openly, we experience freedom and greater depth in our relationships. Vulnerability requires courage, but its incredibly beautiful and worth the risk!

Grace gives us the assurance that we are loved by our Creator and gives us the ability to walk through painful circumstances with joy. Grace grants us with the ability to forgive others and extend the grace we've received to others. Grace causes thanksgiving to overflow as we reflect on the goodness of God.

We all need it. What a beautiful gift we have access to!

Today's podcast is for all our married listeners out there! Your relationship with your spouse is a very special one. More than a relationship, it's a union, that requires care and grace.

The way we relate to our Father is important - is it about a contract or communion? Listen to today's episode about living life freely in "GRACE Land" instead of the bondage of "LAW-LAW Land."

"...sin is not imputed when there is no law." - Romans 5:13

Why are we afraid of grace? Many believe that when we receive the lavish grace of God that it will cause us to sin more and take advantage of God's amazing gift.

When you fully understand what Christ died to offer His children and experience true freedom from sin, that last thing you want to do is run back to it.

Fear was our old motivation, but now we are motivated by love. Love is the currency of the Kingdom, and it is our most valuable resource because it comes from Him.

Happy New Year! 2023 brought us highs and lows, but God's goodness has been a constant through it all.

Jesus revealed the heart of the Father, forever changing the picture that God is angry and unreachable. Rather, He is near to us and loves us far more than we could ever imagine. Why is this shift important? It's impossible to trust a God that is not 100% for you. Jesus came and corrected our thinking, showing us that our God was so much better than we ever knew!

What a gift we have in the Holy Spirit! Our friend, comforter, and counselor. It's the presence of God with us that allows us to walk in the fruits of the Spirit and love others in a way that we could never do in our own strength.
