I didn’t used to get out much. For twenty years I learned grace in a pretty sheltered environment. Now, go figure, I go out and speak about it. I have run into a huge tent of people from all strains of this faith in Jesus, deeply wanting to believe this life in grace. Beautiful people. [...]
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another,
even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
After thousands of years of sincerely religious people bluffing and play-acting with love, God gives His children a new heart: completely new creatures, fully righteous, without any condemnation, who can actually live out [...]
I spoke last week at a wonderful Arts Conference at Woodmen Valley Church in Colorado. I quoted a snippet by the 14th century philosopher Machiavelli from his work “The Prince”. Bruce McNicol handed me the quote long ago. It has rocked my world since then. He says,
“…there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, [...]
Our TrueFaced Worldview night on Monday was a great success! We held the event at my in-laws and even though they have a good sized house, the place was still packed with nearly 40 folks who came to hear the message of grace. Everything just went so well! Dave and John did an amazing job [...]
I sat in a class yesterday about humanity, like, who are humans and why did God make us and all sorts of other big questions that I am way undereducated to be able to answer. I guess that’s what you get when you take a class from an Oxford educated philosophy PhD. It was fascinating [...]
Last post or so I mentioned about this TrueFaced Worldview evening that we were doing in Phoenix. Well, it happened and it was so good! Basically John delivered parts of the Two Roads talk that so many people love, and Dave spoke into it, at the points that he had been most impacted. You would [...]
Do you know that here at LCI our goal is to leave thousands of environments of grace in our wake? We desire that as people are exposed to the message of God’s amazing grace they will want to gather with others and live out this grace filled life in the context of community. That’s our [...]
I was with some friends, Chris and Cindy Beall, in Oklahoma last week for about 5 hours. I got up in the morning, got on the plane, landed, rented the car, drove to their place, hung out, got back in the car, got back on the plane, landed, drove home. Whew! It was a really [...]
This message of grace isn’t everywhere yet. We work everyday to see it spread so that people who have lived under a rules based theology can experience the freedom in Christ that he worked so hard to convey to us while he walked the Earth. And it’s spreading! Lives are being changed, people are being [...]
So, anyway, here’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time. How do these truths of grace and identity and humility and trust, and received love, and safety and permission and protection and vulnerability and so on and so forth…how do they really get transferred?
We’ve got a DVD and CD entitled something like “The [...]
