I was asked a good question recently on my video, "What's My Goal in Reading the Bible?" She said, "Honest question, explain Psalm 199:11 and how this fits into your point." I replied to that comment but here's my fuller explanation.

This question came up in a recent comment on my YouTube channel two things happened. 1) It took me by surprise because no one has ever asked me that before. And 2) It got me thinking, "What is my goal in reading the Bible? Do I have a goal? Should I have a goal?"

When we view the Bible as an academic textbook to be mastered, we end up missing the point entirely. That's what happened to me. I was trained to look at and look for, all the wrong things when reading or studying the Bible. Here's my story. Let me know if you can relate.

Jesus himself is the New Covenant. The New Covenant isn't something he brought with him, tucked neatly under his arm. He is the New Covenant. Let's take five and talk about how to have a Jesus-lite theology of the New Covenant where Jesus gets occasional, honorable mention but the real emphasis is on human performance and supposed progress.

My guest for this episode is Emily Shepherd. Emily and her family spent several years in a high-control Reformed church environment before making the decision to leave. This is her story, so I'll let her tell it. If you're in a similar situation I hope this encourages and helps you.

This episode is from a YouTube livestream I did on Sunday, April 19th. It was an open Q&A on a variety of topics all centered around the New Covenant gospel of grace, the Law of Moses, the Old Covenant, church, and performance-based Christianity. 

Grab your favorite beverage and listen in. I think you'll be encouraged. Here's the link to the video version if you would rather watch it:

I think this is the story of most of us who've discovered the grace of God after spending years in religion and institutional church settings. It's my story in one sentence. So let's talk about it.

This episode is also a video I recorded in my car. You can watch it here:

In John 1:17 we're told this:

"For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ."

I've lost count of how many times I've heard someone who doesn't understand grace say this verse is a call to temper or tone down grace with truth. To keep grace balanced. That grace needs to be tamed and kept in check and the way to do that is by imposing truth on it and by truth, they mean some sort of law or religious rules. Grace scares us when we don't understand it and the response is to take a verse like this out of context and attempt to make it say what it was never intended to say. So let's take five and talk about it.
