Summary

Western Christianity holds onto many misconceptions about the relationship between the Old and New Testaments, or as it is often called, “Law vs. Grace.” Blake walks us through the Law vs. Grace and related myths to answer the important questions  What is the New Covenant? How does this New Covenant relate to the Old? What is the relationship between what we often call Law and Grace?

06-05-2016 Having Humility to be More Than Human

Summary

The reality of sin is hard for many to handle. People inside and outside the church often minimize sin through the mindset of “I am only human. I am supposed to sin.” Eric challenges this thought. In the Christian’s case, is sin a foregone conclusion? Can we excuse our sin so easily? What does God expect of us regarding His commandments and our sin? Eric tackles all these questions as he takes on the various myths surrounding our sin and our call to holiness.
