What do we do with people we think might be abusing God’s grace? A caller from Canada recently asked about Christians who continue to choose sin.Sin is mastering too many people. But does the teaching of God’s grace cause more sin or less sin? If God’s grace is dangerous, should we instead give people more rules to follow?In this episode, I address whether more law or more grace will help those who are struggling. It’s a message the church desperately needs to hear.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

A recent caller to the radio program, Derek, asked if there’s such a thing as the unforgivable or unpardonable sin.1 John 5:16 references a sin that leads to death. Jesus mentions in Matthew 12:31 every sin will be forgiven except for one. Does this mean eternal life can become temporary life? Are we saved from any sin imaginable, or all but one?In this episode, I share the one unforgivable sin – and if believers are at risk of committing it.We hope you enjoyed this episode.

The idea of Christians balancing law and grace is a common misconception in the church today. Yes, the Law is good and serves as a tutor to lead us to Christ, so it might seem logical that it brings stability to Christian living.But as believers, we are no longer under the Law. Trying to balance it with grace will only lead to a mixture of failure and victory. That’s because sin thrives under the Law, but sin is dead under grace!In this eye-opening clip from the daily broadcast, you’ll learn why it’s erroneous – and even dangerous – to tell Christians they need to balance law and grace. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of this important topic and be inspired by what truly teaches you to live an upright life!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it. For the gate is narrow and the way is constricted that leads to life, and there are few who find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)A recent listener to the radio program, Lenny, called to ask if Matthew 7:13-14 indicates more people will ultimately be lost than saved.It’s a timely question in light of culture’s focus on inclusion and acceptance, and Universalism’s message of I’m OK, you’re OK, everybody’s OK.In this episode, I address how Universalism is the polar opposite of what Christ is declaring. There’s a decision for each person to make: to enter through the narrow gate called Grace!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

In Psalm 51:11, David pleads with God, “Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.” Old Testament prayers like this seem to indicate a person can lose the Holy Spirit. That’s why a listener recently asked if a believer could have, lose, and then regain the Holy Spirit.Thankfully, the New Covenant offers us a solid answer to this question. In this episode, you’ll discover why the gift of the Holy Spirit is irrevocable and why there are no exceptions or conditions to His indwelling presence!We hope you enjoyed this episode.
