Charlie talks with Dr. Andy Woods about the thesis of his book, Ever Reforming. For all the good we received from the Reformers, we should also be aware of their shortfalls. There is a tendency to venerate and codify their teachings without question. On some doctrines, they were helpful. Unfortunately, on others, they were incomplete at best, or wrong at worst. Andy explains how this happened as a result of an inconsistent hermeneutic and a heavy reliance on Augustine. We also hear insights on why Martin Luther did not like the book of Revelation, and a discussion of "progressive illumination." Andy received his PhD from Dallas Theological Seminary, pastors Sugarland Bible Church, and is president of Chafer Theological Seminary. Two of his books are Ever Reforming, and The Coming Kingdom. You can find an abundance of Bible study resources and messages at AndyWoodsMinistries.org.

The Bible speaks about different kinds of forgiveness. Charlie talks with Dr. Robby Dean, who has some deep and fascinating observations about the forgiveness spoken of in Colossians 2:12-14 and 1 John 1:9. What did Jesus Christ do on the cross that applies to our forgiveness and when is that applied? Robby dives deep into the Greek, but hang in there, his conclusions are comforting. Robby pastors West Houston Bible Church; he did his doctoral studies at Dallas Theological Seminary and received his doctorate from Faith Evangelical Seminary. He is also a board member and professor at Chafer Theological Seminary. You can find a load of Bible teaching on many subjects on his ministry web site, DeanBibleMinistries.org. His teaching is also on the YouTube channel called "Light from the Light."

What is the Free Grace perspective all about? Here, Charlie explains this view in a slightly revised presentation that he has done before. The FG view begins with a clear understanding of what grace means, then the importance of faith and Jesus Christ as the object of faith. Our salvation was accomplished by the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross, therefore, we can add nothing to that work. Assurance of salvation comes from God's Word and the assurance the eternal security of one's salvation. It is also crucial to distinguish between salvation and discipleship. The latter deals with Christian life issues. Grace is essential for Christian growth and the best motivation to serve God. Though salvation is secure, this does not promote sin. The Bible teaches that believers are responsible for and will be held accountable for how they live at the Judgment Seat of Christ. If one does not understand these truths, the gospel can be corrupted and made ineffective. The Free Grace position is biblically sound, makes assurance possible, and is a foundation for spiritual growth.

In this insightful episode Charlie leads us into Philippians Chapter 3, guiding listeners all the way through to Chapter 4, Verse 1. Charlie emphasizes a life lived in the path of Christ, a life reflecting a distinct purpose, brimming with enthusiasm, joy, and freedom.
Framing life as a walk, Bing challenges listeners to examine their own paths, forcing introspection on whether they are oriented towards this world or the one to come. He expertly unravels Apostle Paul’s teachings in Philippians and emphasizes the value of following in the footsteps of Christian role models such as Paul, Timothy, as well as Epaphroditus. Nevertheless, Charlie warns against the 'enemies of the cross,' those whose lives are tainted by worldly desires.
Through this discussion, listeners are urged to acknowledge their true spiritual calling, to reject temporal worldly pleasures, and to redirect their focus to a larger, more fulfilling heavenly mission. Echoing Christ's values and character, this enlightening episode concludes with an inspiring call to arms, challenging listeners to confront sin and eternalize their true citizenship.
So, are you ready to affirm your devotion to Christ? Are you prepared to steer your life towards an eternal heavenly existence with Christ? Join us on this journey as we "walk this way".
