Reflections Along the Jesus Way

May 29, 2025 - Quote for the Day: “The Bible, some say, is the Word of God.  That is a false supposition, according to the Bible.  Jesus is the Word of God (John 1:1-14).  Jesus is the Word of God.  He alone occupies the throne of authority.  He does not share that throne with a book. Bible publishers have long titled the Bible as ‘holy.’  God alone is holy.  God alone is infallible and inerrant.  Humans are created, mortal and less than perfect – all that we touch and produce falls short of perfection and holiness. Humans have determined the Bible to be holy, infallible and inerrant.&nb...

God Is Faithful

Given enough time, human beings will eventually let you down. But God can always be relied upon. God always comes through.

Child-like Belief

Spiritual re-birth from God renders us child-like again. What can we learn about faith from the trusting, open attitude of a child?

What Does ‘We are Not Under the Law but Under Grace’ Really Mean? by Greg Albrecht

Many professing and church-going Christians fail to realize what "we are not under the law but under grace" means. Most agree that it's God's grace and not anything we can do that will make us right with God. Most realize and accept that Christians don't follow the rites and rituals of the Old Testament but they are often confused about the Ten Commandments. They believe that the Ten Commandments (except seventh-day Sabbath-keeping) are valid and required norms of behavior. Here's the Christ-centered perspective we need. When Jesus died on his cross, he completed all the terms of the old covenant. He had kept its terms perfectly, and on his ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

May 27, 2025 - Quote for the Day: “The message of the gospel is that slaves of human lust need the one true God.  We need his forgiveness and his rescue.  We need a new life, so that we may leave the old habits and addictions behind.  Unfortunately, some who are looking for a way out of their empty lives of addiction and pain find a religion that uses the name of Jesus, counterfeits his teachings, offering a different gospel that sounds good, seems reasonable and rational… feeling good is not the basis of Christianity.  Seeming right is not the foundation of Christ-centered faith.” Originally published ...

Building God’s House

The body of Christ is bigger than any human enterprise can encompass or represent. God is building our eternal home.

Generosity and Resentment

Can we be generous and resentful at the same time?

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

May 24, 2025 - Quote for the Day: “… make no mistake, there are so many in our world who are not only defined physically as hungry, thirsty, naked, sick and imprisoned (Matthew 25:34-40), but those words define their spiritual state as well.  There are many who are spiritually hungry, because they are being fed religious junk food – many who are spiritually thirsty, because they have not yet been given the true Water of life. Many are classified as spiritual strangers because they have been pronounced as worthless or unfit or unrighteous by a religious institution.  Others are spiritually naked, who desperately need the ...

What is the Gospel? – Part 2 by Greg Albrecht

When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force Gentiles to follow Jewish customs? We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified. If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

May 22, 2025 - Quote for the Day: “I had a conversation with a friend about God’s love – a part of our discussion went something like this: You know, God really does like you.  He is fond of you.  He wants to get to know you and he wants you to come to know him as you never have before.  Young people would say that God wants to ‘hang out with you.’ Well, yes, I know that God loves us, the Bible says he does, and I guess because he inspired those words in the Bible God has to love us.  He said it, he committed himself to it, he signed the contract, so he has to love us. So you think God is stuck? He ...

Free Forgiveness

Because of God’s free forgiveness, citizens of God’s kingdom have no outstanding spiritual debts.

Losing Your Religion — Embracing Grace

Religion is all about what you think you have done for God. Grace is all about what God has done for you. God’s grace will cause you to lose your religion.

What is the Gospel? – Part 1 by Greg Albrecht

  I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written, "The righteous will live by faith."—Romans 1:16-17     Paul 1) categorically states that he is not ashamed of the gospel, 2) defines the gospel as the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes, and 3) asserts that the gospel inherently includes a righteousness from God—a righteousness by faith—precluding any sort of righteousness which may come, or ...

Reflections Along the Jesus Way

May 20, 2025 - Quote for the Day: “It is not easy to accept God’s grace.  Accepting Jesus Christ is itself a repudiation of our world and its religion.  Accepting God’s grace is humbling, and leads to deep repentance as we realize, on the one hand, our inadequacy, and on the other, God’s perfect love.”  Originally published in: Bad News Religion ------------------------------------- Help Us Help Others - Give Now

Do You Really Want What You Deserve?

The good news is that because of God’s grace we do not get what we deserve.

The End of Religion

Jesus came to put an end to the oppressive demands of religion. Jesus didn’t and doesn’t care about all of the futile religious attempts to "get right with God" because in him God made it right.

Why “Without the Religion?” -Greg Albrecht

Christianity Without the Religion - An Interview With Greg Albrecht: Q. In 2006 you launched an ambitious, and somewhat unorthodox way to worship – without entering into specific building. Its services are on the Internet, and you say it’s Christianity Without the Religion. Is there a need for the service(s) you are providing? A. George Barna is a leading authority on what is happening within North American Christianity. One of his recent books, Revolution, reports that in the early 21st century church attendance has fallen throughout North America, and he predicts that it will continue to do so for the next few decades. But, in ...
