Last updated on: August 11, 2014 at 10:30 am By Andrew Farley

Here’s my new book. It’s easy to read and will help you relax and enjoy your Jesus. There’s a seven-part Study Guide in there too.

The True Gospel

Last updated on: May 27, 2014 at 11:44 am By Andrew Farley

The prosperity gospel says you have little and should have plenty. The legalist’s gospel says you have plenty but should only have little. The true Gospel says Jesus is the secret to contentment, whether you have little or plenty: “I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or... Read more

So what if there is another way?

Last updated on: May 12, 2014 at 10:34 am By Andrew Farley

What if we could do away with all of the religious guilt and live from delight? What if we could enjoy so great an intimacy with God that it would seem he was nearly beneath our skin? What if we could just go through life being ourselves and somehow express Christ along the way? And what if all of this could come at no expense of our own? There is an Old way that forever leads to disappointment, no matter... Read more

5 Easy Steps to Seeing the Sermon on the Mount as a Sweet Passage for Christian Growth

Last updated on: December 3, 2013 at 10:53 am By Andrew Farley

Step 1: Ignore verse 17 which introduces the Law. Step 2: Delete every mention of Hell and fire. Step 3: Water down the verses about cutting off body parts. Step 4: Overlook the mention of animal sacrifices on altars. Step 5: Pretend that “be perfect like God” is attainable. Voila! Now you’ve got a sweet, inspiring passage to do your best! This is how many interpret Jesus’ killer sermon. But allow me to suggest an Option B: What if we... Read more

Positional forgiveness versus relational forgiveness?

Last updated on: June 13, 2013 at 5:27 pm By Andrew Farley

Some popular Bible teachers say that we Christians are indeed completely forgiven “positionally” but not “relationally” until we confess each sin. Here are my thoughts on the so-called difference between “positional forgiveness” and “relational forgiveness”: It’s all make-believe. It is literally fabricated terminology that turns the work of the Cross into something less powerful than the blood of bulls and goats in the Old Testament. In the Old Testament, Jews felt better (yes, in the real world, even “relationally”!) when... Read more

Interview with Frank Viola about his new book “God’s Favorite Place on Earth”

Last updated on: May 1, 2013 at 9:26 am By Andrew Farley

What is this book about? I’ve written 14 books so far and God’s Favorite Place on Earth is different than anything I’ve ever penned. It’s a work of biblical narrative that combines story with non-fiction. It’s a quick and easy read. The premise of the book is simple and 100% Biblical: when Jesus was on the earth, He was rejected everywhere He went . . . from Bethlehem, to Nazareth, to Jerusalem. The only exception was the little village of... Read more

Redirecting Pleasantville

Last updated on: April 1, 2013 at 11:50 am By Andrew Farley

In the Hollywood film Pleasantville, all the residents of the town are living life in black and white until one day someone discovers the forbidden idea of free choice. Upon making that choice, the main character turns into a vibrant, colorful person while everyone else remains black and white. From there, other citizens of Pleasantville discover free choice, and they too exchange their black-and-white existence for dynamic color. One message we might take away from this film is that it’s... Read more
