Made For Good Works, Not Saved By Them (Part 2)
In Part 1, we talked about the great exchange — how salvation is a gift, received by faith alone, not earned through works. So what happens after that? Does grace mean behavior doesn’t matter? Ephesians 2:8-10 answers that question in one breath. Verses 8-9 tell us we’re saved by grace through...

What You Feed Grows: A Talk on Secular Music
I haven’t listened to secular music in almost four years. Not because somebody told me I had to stop — but because I finally started paying attention to what it was doing to my soul. I grew up on it. I knew every word. It shaped how I thought about women, about success, about who I was supposed…
