The Ex-Christian: Broken by the Church?

A profile of the Ex-Christian


Think carefully. How many times have you heard from someone that they used to be a Christian, but they no longer are? How many times have you heard them say they used to believe in Jesus Christ as their only hope of salvation, but now say they no longer believe that? Or that they wish they could believe it but they just can't?

This year on Radical Grace Radio, we're taking on the toughest of cases: Those broken by the church. They no longer believe, and many times they are either very sad about it or angry! Take, for instance, all the atheists out there who used to evangelicals, but now say that the Christian religion is evil!

Stick with us this year as we take on this important topic.

The Ex-Christian: Broken by the Church?

The Parable of the Ten Virgins

Episode 48: How Much Glory is enough for God?



This time on Radical Grace we asked the question, "how much glory is enough for God?", to which we reply, "all glory and honor and praise belong to Him". Pretty simple? Well, some people say things like this: "My righteousness is about 55%, but Jesus thankfully makes up the difference". Doesn't that take away from the Glory that God deserves?

Also, we take another parable, the 10 Virgins in Luke Chapter 25, and look at it from a Law and Gospel perspective.

The Lost Son

Episode 47: The Parable of the Prodigal Son



In this edition of Radical Grace, we spend some time with the parable of the Prodigal Son. This fascinating look at the parable is another exercise in dividing Law and Gospel and should not be missed.

The Good Samaritan

Episode 46: "Unbelievable Power Cards"



This week on Radical Grace we talk about "Power Verses" as Evangelicals call them and look at how all too often people choose law verses rather than gospel verses. Also we take a look at the parable of the good Samaritan from a Law and Gospel perspective.

Make Believe Faith vs. True Faith.


Second half of the hour, the Gloves come off concerning the Beatification of the Pope John Paul II.  AntiChristic language compared to what you get in Protestant circles.  Tridentine Catholicism compared with the Bible...  Good stuff, but in the first half, we steal back for you 1 Peter 1:3-8 from those who would steal it from you.
1Pe 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1Pe 1:4 and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you,
1Pe 1:5 who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
1Pe 1:6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
1Pe 1:7 These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
1Pe 1:8 Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
1Pe 1:9 for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
