The Throes Of Grace

This episode is an ode to the late Robert Capon on his birthday. Simply put, we'll never be the same after reading Capon's work. He's so astonished at the person of Jesus - his scandalous grace and closeness to us - that his preaching and writing have only begun to shape the life and faith of the church. If you want to be encouraged, and to get 200 proof grace and an unsanitized Jesus, look no further. Raise a glass with us to this modern prophet! 

This blog is all about the absurdities of what we call religion and how everything changes on a dime when you take Jesus at his word. 

In short, grace is not a result of faith. When you discover sin can't actually separate you from God, a sort of freedom appears that you've never imagined. Dive into this episode to explore The Throes Of Grace!

This episode consists of a poem - a new element for this blogcast. It is pure revelry in the reality of our union in Christ. But it is also encouragement for the weary and the wounded. Which is all of us, if we admit it. The poem is followed by some interaction between Russ Johnson and Jameson. Enjoy the change up and let us know how you respond to this piece. We'd love to hear from you - and don't forget to leave us a review so others can find our show. Cheers! 

In this final part of the 4 part series called What Must I Do, we take a look at perhaps the most significant reason the answer to the question “What Must I do to inherit eternal life” isn’t what we often think. That reason is, in short, that the incarnation means that in Jesus, we are in the One who is in the Father. Explore more by reading along!

This is part 3 of a 4 part series dealing with the biblical question, What must I do to inherit eternal life?" This is arguably one of the biggest questions of all time. Jameson triple's down on his insistence that this question isn't answered in the Bible with a list of to dos or disciplines to practice, but with scandalous grace, which is opposed to effort and earning. Give it a listen and let us know how it hits you. Cheers! 

"What Must I Do" is a series of blog articles observing how scripture answers the question, "What must I do to inherit eternal life?" Apparent common knowledge assumes the obvious answer is improvement, but the answers biblical authors provide throws a heavy duty wrench into the spokes of that idea. What better way to work it out than observe how the conversation plays out on the pages of our bibles? Join in!

Just about anything but the undiluted Gospel gets the press in religious communities. Without the Goodness that makes the Good News Good, you not only miss out on the Truth, but you miss out on the Life. A misunderstanding of the cross lies at the heart of the matter. Always has. Always will. With a hope to unveil why a non-religious understanding of this act changes everything, we dropped this new article. 

There's always more than meets the eye in Scripture. Reimagine the story of Jesus turning water to wine with us. What if this wasn't a miracle to prove Jesus could do miracles? What it John included this story to proclaim something much more scandalous than just that Jesus can do miracles? What if the empty jars for purification that Jesus filled with wine are a sign of the impotence of religion?

How do you practice union with God? How can we be united to God? What role does religion play in our oneness with God in Christ? Is Christianity a way to achieve union with God? Are we or can we be united with God? How will we be reconciled?

Abiding, worship, faith, and discipleship are all radically reoriented when you come to grips with the truth that Jesus is - and has always been - unconditionally our union with God. Explore how biblical union works right here and pass it on if you found it helpful!
