In Part 9 of my series, The Perfect You, I address several passages on forgiveness and confession of sin in the New Testament, including: Jesus’ teaching from the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6 The instruction to confess your sins to one another in James 5 Confession tied to forgiveness in 1 John 1 Some might suggest these verses teach being forgiven and cleansed is a daily process. But Jesus said it is finished. He remembers your sins no more, and... Read more

What does the average Christian think about their forgiveness? For many, it may be, “If I confess, He promises to forgive. Isn’t that great?!” But then what about the sins you forget to confess? God has not only forgiven your past sins but has already forgiven your next sin - and every sin after that. God’s forgiveness isn’t about our words or apologies but about His blood! In this message, I share the difference between progressive forgiveness and once-for-all forgiveness.... Read more

The Old Testament is part of the inspired Word of God. It’s filled with incredible wisdom, including the law that led you to Christ. But as you come to salvation by faith, you enter into a new covenant. What is your relationship with the law going forward? What now leads and guides you daily? In Part 7 of my series, The Perfect You, I share a counter-intuitive and counter-religious newsflash: serving the Lord is not about following rules or regulations.... Read more

As believers, we understand salvation is by God’s grace, and there’s nothing we can do to earn it. We trust in Christ’s death and resurrection. But like the Garden of Eden, there’s a temptation to think that if I knew or did a little more, I could be more godly. We start to mix in rules and parts of the law in an effort to be better. In part 6 of my series, The Perfect You, I share how Jesus... Read more

Our new identity in Christ is a popular topic in churches today. Believers have been made new, holy and acceptable – the righteousness of God! At the same time, it’s also popular to hear “self” taught as a bad word. We’re told to deny ourselves, die to self, and take up our cross. Maybe what’s true of us spiritually doesn’t yet apply to our souls or bodies? In Part 5 of my series, The Perfect You, I address how even... Read more

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. (John 6:44) Sean called in to our radio program seeking counsel on John 6:44. Does this verse indicate God only invites certain people to Himself? That knowing God is simply a matter of fate? Well, if that’s the case, there wouldn’t be much point to evangelism or world missions. Sharing our faith would need to include... Read more
