The Difference Between Kingdom Gospel and Grace Gospel Salvation
You ever notice how people throw around “the gospel” like it’s one-size-fits-all? Like if you just say “Jesus saves,” that covers everything. But if you’ve been in the Word long enough, you realize that the gospel Paul preached—the gospel of grace—is a whole different beast than the kingdom gospel Jesus proclaimed to Israel in the
God’s Will for You in the Age of Grace
Ever wrestled with the idea of God’s will, only to find yourself tangled in a knot of expectations, some stressed by fear, others by legalism? I get it. Many believers step into the “God-will” conversation imagining a checklist or a mysterious cosmic GPS that points them to one perfect career, one flawless partner, or one
The Dispensation of Grace Timeline
You ever stop and wonder how God’s dealings with humanity have shifted so dramatically from Genesis onward? It’s like flipping through a sacred storyboard where every chapter has its own rules, covenants, expectations—and here we are, smack dab in the middle of what grace believers call the Dispensation of Grace. If you pay close attention,
What It Means to Be Complete in Christ
There’s a strange freedom in realizing you don’t have to fix yourself. That’s what it means to be complete in Christ—not a “to-do” list for moral perfection, but an established reality grounded in God’s grace. Sure, most people think being “complete” means having all their ducks in a row, but the Bible flips that idea
The Ministry of Paul’s Prison Epistles
It never ceases to amaze me how God uses the most unexpected circumstances to reveal His grace and power. Take a moment to think about Paul’s prison epistles—Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Here is a man shackled, under guard, stripped of physical freedom, yet his letters burst with spiritual liberty that continues to ripple through
The “One New Man” of Ephesians 2 Explained
The “One New Man” mentioned in Ephesians 2 is one of those passages that sticks with you—because it isn’t just theological jargon. It’s a transformative declaration from Paul that shakes the very foundations of identity, race, and God’s eternal plan. When Paul talks about Jews and Gentiles being made “one new man” in Christ, it’s
Why Tongues Ceased and Prophecy Failed
It’s funny how something as vibrant and electrifying as speaking in tongues and prophesying—those miraculous gifts that set the early church on fire—can disappear almost as quickly as they appeared. But here we are, centuries later, and you rarely hear about genuine prophecies or tongues that carry the same weight. Why? Why did these spiritual
The Role of the Local Church in the Age of Grace
What’s the local church doing these days, really? Especially in the age of grace we live in, where the cross isn’t just a symbol but the very center of our faith? You might think the church’s role has shifted or diminished with all the noise about personal spirituality and online ministries, but that’s missing the
The Mystery of Christ in You, the Hope of Glory
Ever wrestled with the phrase “Christ in you, the hope of glory”? At first glance, it almost sounds like a mystical riddle wrapped in Christian jargon. Paul tosses it out in Colossians 1:27, and that one verse has been the heartbeat of countless believers who long to grasp the fuller picture of what grace means—not
The Armor of God for the Body of Christ
If you try picturing Paul’s letter to the Ephesians as a handyman’s box of spiritual tools, the Armor of God is the crown jewel. Not some outdated myth or military pep talk, but God’s prescribed gear for anyone seriously walking in the grace of Christ. What strikes me isn’t just the image of spiritual warfare
