Many of us are programmed to have “corrective theology,” where grace is used as a tool to justify sin or take away the pain of consequences. Grace is not a cure-all and there are always consequences for sin.
Unfortunately, the battle between right and wrong, good and evil, will always be at war within us. Despite our best efforts, we will always be strugglers. But Christ enables us to overcome wrong. He gives us the power to do what’s right.
Listen in on this conversation between a mother and her son with Pastor Chuck Swindoll. He reveals how God honours women of character—calling them virtuous, capable, and priceless—and shows how a godly wife fosters a trusting and joy-filled marriage.
This is the Good News—“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life,” (John 3:16 NIV). The price for our sins is paid in full. It’s a free gift for you, for me, for everyone who believes.
No matter what you’ve done God loves you. The Apostle Paul, who wrote much of the New Testament, calls himself the worst of sinners. Before he met Christ he killed Christians and yet he was rescued by God’s grace. And you can be too.
Sometimes as believers we become preoccupied with what we do wrong—we live as though we’re still slaves to sin. Instead, our focus should be on following Christ. He has set us free, and gives us the power to live free.
Learn from the past and look to the future to build a life marked by God’s grace and fulfilled potential. As 2 Timothy 3:10–14 reveals, there is a powerful link between remembrance of God’s truths and continuance in God’s ways.
A house needs to be built on a solid foundation or it will crack, sag, and even collapse. In the same way your life needs to be built on the foundation of God’s Word so you won’t be swept away by false teaching.
Scripture encourages believers in Jesus Christ to leave behind something of eternal value and infinite worth. Endeavour to reach this high calling and be inspired by Pastor Chuck Swindoll’s exposition of Romans 12:9–16. Discover how the greatest thing you can pass along is a legacy of love!
You won’t get bad advice from God. When He reveals His plan, it will never backfire on you. Isaiah 9:6 says God is a Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
