Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 11, 2025 - Quote for the Day “For God so loved the world challenges us because we naturally want to think that God only loves us … or at least, he loves us more. But if he loves the whole world then that means he loves everyone, just as much as he loves you and me!”  Originally published in: Wonders of His Love ------------------------------------- Help Us Help Others - Give Now

Fear and Faith

Doubts are not the opposite of faith, they are a necessary part of the process. The opposite of faith, the real enemy, is fear.

The God of Comfort – by Greg Albrecht

Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God in Corinth, together with all his holy people throughout Achaia: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 9, 2025 - Quote for the Day “If Jesus showed up today in our towns and cities, in our schools and courtrooms, in our cafes and malls, and yes, in our churches – would we recognize him?  Would he resemble what our churches have taught us?  Would religion welcome him?”  Originally published in: Between Religious Rocks and Life’s Hard Places ------------------------------------- Help Us Help Others - Give Now

Cargo Cult Religion

Christ-less religion attempts to deceive us into thinking that outward form will always produce desired results. It’s a widespread deception — join Greg as he reveals more about form and substance.

Be Prepared!

The Parable of the Ten Virgins tells us more about the kingdom of heaven. But, is this parable warning us to be careful so that we don’t “run out” of the Holy Spirit? Is this parable telling us that 50% of all Christians are foolish? Does this parable offer hidden clues about the Second Coming?

The Man From Plains… – Greg Albrecht

“Philip found Nathanael and told him, “We have found the one Moses wrote about in the Law, and about which the prophets also wrote – Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.” “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there?” Nathanael asked. – John 1:45-46 Can Anyone/Anything Good Come Out of Plains, Georgia? James (Jimmy) Earl Carter Jr. – the 39th president of the United States – was the longest-lived president, the first to live a century and perhaps, seemingly more important to Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter, the only president whose marriage lasted and endured 77 years. The Man from Plains was born on October 1, 1924 in ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 7, 2025 -- Quote for the Day “Some people have been spiritually crippled all their lives and know no other reality.  They have been taught to fear and distrust everyone outside of their group, and they don’t want to be released from the comfort of their closeted world.”  Originally published in: Bad News Religion ------------------------------------- Help Us Help Others - Give Now

Who Is My Neighbor?

As he answered this question posed by a religious professional, was Jesus telling us what to do, or did his answer go to a reality far deeper than merely helping our fellow humans in need?

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 4, 2025 -- Quote for the Day “The baby had created the universe, but he had voluntarily left the pristine perfection of eternity in favor of the mud and filth of that stable – and the dust and grime of the world he would inhabit as he grew up.  He chose to come as a baby who would later be delivered via the birth canal and then later spiritually deliver not only Mary, the one who had physically delivered him, but ALL mankind, including those who tortured and crucified him.”  Originally published in: Christianity Without the Religion magazine, December 2022 Christianity Without the Religion Magazine ...

Can You Handle The Truth?

In our world of advertising and spin doctoring truth is replaced with distortion and lies.  But then sometimes truth can be difficult -- hard to deal with.  Can you handle the truth?  What is truth? https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/RCWR241.mp3

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

January 2, 2025 -- Quote for the Day “We don’t impress God with our religious juggling, our spiritual dances, our religious hand-jive, ballet or soft-shoe.  He doesn’t award us spiritual points based on our gymnastic religious performances.   He intervenes in our lives, lavishing us with his grace, based on his goodness, not ours. Think of the wise men from the East who came to visit the newborn Jesus.  One day they were leading a normal life, doing their astronomical calculations, consulting their star charts, putting in a 9-5 day, washing their camels and eating dinner with the family at night.  They ...

Grace at the Crossroads

Greg teaches from Matthew 7:13-14, taking issue with the popular idea of the precise identity of those who journey on the broad road, and, on the other hand, who is traveling on the narrow road.

A Lion and A Lamb

The triumph of the slain Lamb of God, improbable and impossible as it seems, is the triumph of the way of grace.

Do You Know Where You Are?

Do you know where you are spiritually? Are you found or are you lost? If you don't know where you are, you need to be found, and you need to listen to today's program. https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0278.mp3  

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

December 31, 2024 - Quote for the Day: “According to ‘Bad News Religion,’ humans need to repent of vices and make every attempt to overcome them and avoid them. According to the cross of Christ, Christians must repent of both vices and virtues. If you are mired in some religious swamp, your own presumed virtues may be a real obstacle that prevents you from accepting Jesus Christ. The cross of Christ means that all we do falls short of God’s perfection, and that nothing we do, be it a vice or a virtue, changes his love for us or his willingness to accept us.”  Originally published in: Bad News Religion ------------...

Do You Know Who You Are?

Is Christianity a smooth, comfortable and secure road taking us to a blissful and serene future? Is it the smooth level paved road that we'd prefer, or is it more like a bumpy roller coaster? https://www.ptm.org/mp3/FreeDwnld/PTR0253.mp3  

The 1,000 Year Millennium? – Greg Albrecht

Question: Your perspective on the "1000 year reign" would be appreciated.   Response: In chapter 11 of my book “Revelation Revolution” I devote several pages to this topic.   In summary to what I have written there, along with some additional perspectives, here are some general thoughts about the “millennium” – The majority of Christians who are now alive do not subscribe to a literal period of time – 1,000 years as we know time – at the “end” of an age of human history before or ushering in the eternity of the Kingdom of God.  For that matter, most Christians who ever lived did not embrace the ...

Turning the Corner on 2024 – by Greg Albrecht

Friend and Partner Letter from January 2025: We made it! We made it through another madcap, tumultuous, challenging and wild roller coaster ride of a year. We made it through 2024!  Or, more correctly, by God’s grace we made it. We made it because our Risen Lord empowered and enabled us, living his life in us. There is great news as we begin this New Year of 2025! God is still in love with you. He cannot love you any more than he already has, because he has loved you, still does and always will… to the MAX! God is absolutely head-over-heels in love with you.  He’s got your picture on his refrigerator and he has your name, ...
