FIRST LIGHT, THEN GRACE (June 13, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/06/12

Wherever grace is welcomed and received, joy follows, just as daylight follows dawn.And so we can read backwards from so many grayed-out, joyless souls to learn how few have heard and loved and lived the gospel. All fearful, anxious following of Jesus—all dim preoccupation with the things we've done or left undone—reveals that we are still in darkness, wrestling with the shadows Jesus rose to vanquish. “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the

GOTTA TELL SOMEBODY (June 06, 20250

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/06/05

In every soul who has ever been healed, conviction rises that they must tell the story of how God’s goodness rebuilt a broken body or a wounded spirit. Bones got mended; diseases conquered; mobility advanced; relationships renewed. When grace restores what pain has taken, “Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them” (Psalm 126:2). We gladly own we couldn’t—didn’t—heal ourselves. No

SWEET WORD OF GRACE (May 30, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/05/29

My pride is stung. My spirit’s wounded. The untrue, unjust thing that someone said, that someone wrote, went viral with unheard-of speed, fanned on by evil angels.And rising with the bitter righteousness of bile, the fantasy of sweet revenge becomes more urgent every hour. “Strike back!” say Truth and Justice. “Set the twisted record straight. Unmask the gossiper for who he is, for what she wrote. Redeem your ruined reputation.” And then Grace whispers, “You have already been redeemed. Your

HAPPILY SURRENDERED (May 23, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/05/22

If you revisit all the beaches where you built sandcastles in the sun, chances are, you’ll never even find a one. The constant pull of wash and wave reduces all the outposts where we once asserted sovereignty. Our turrets and our towers, our moats and battlements have long since lost the struggle to insist on what was never really ours. And so it is as grace subdues the castles of our pride and self-assertion. The lovely, unrelenting rhythm of God’s kindness and His mercy overruns our fierce

HYMN WE SING ( May 16, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/05/15

It’s the most famous line ever written about grace by an author not recorded in God’s Word: “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.” Every week, around the globe, it’s sung and said uncounted times, bringing joy and certainty to billions of believers. Whole lives are built on this. But the lived reality of grace requires that we move beyond the first person voice, and grasp our role within the choir. For while grace operates for each of us as individuals, we learn it by

FOREVER JOY (May 09, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/05/08

Savoring the creamy richness of delectable milk chocolate.Settling into the plush leather of a luxury car. Dangling your feet in the stunningly blue water of a South Pacific lagoon. What do these very different life experiences have in common? Each is richly imaged for us by adroit advertisers who correctly sense how desperately we seek relief from everyday hecticity. We need something to break the cycle: we need a respite from the crushing stress. But the Word of God reminds us that we manufacture

TO GRACIOUSLY RECEIVE (May 02, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/05/01

What is it in our restless hearts that cannot graciously receive a gift?A friend invites us to a grand, delightful meal, and even before dessert is served, we’re busy evening the score. We fail to taste the kindly moment because we’re painfully obsessed with making certain our account with one we call a friend is “balanced”—even though it is a dinner spread and not a spreadsheet gleaming in the candlelight. And so we say to God when He so kindly offers us eternity through what His Son has

WELCOMING DISRUPTION (April 25, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/04/24

What makes the light of Easter last long past the hymns and lilies?The ground beneath our feet has moved. The grim, unshaken certainties of loss and grief and toil and death have finally succumbed—and to such stunningly good news: “For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive” (1 Cor.15.22). Our muddied tale of violence and pain has yielded in a burst of light that stubbornly rejects a fade: “Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and He was

HE IS RISEN! (April 18, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/04/17

In the blackness of Sunday morning, the prodigal opened His eyes and murmured softly, “I will arise and go to my Father, and will say to Him, ‘Father, I have borne the sins of every human who has ever lived. I am worthy to be called your Son.’”And a reunion postponed for 33 years split the midnight of our world. Out of wretchedness came joy. Out of brokenness came healing. Love triumphed over death. Grace reclaimed what sin had stolen. The Liberator came back to life. Then the voices of a billion

NEVER ALONE (April 11, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/04/10

Left to ourselves, what we know of forgiveness would soon disappear. Left to ourselves, acts of mercy would soon drown in the ocean of self-centeredness. Left to ourselves, what light and warmth still shines in our communities would soon go dark. Why help a neighbor, when he is just one more competitor for dwindling resources?But the good news is that we are never left to ourselves. Into this dark, unforgiving environment, where greed ran rampant and trust had disappeared, God shared His best—His

GRACE WHILE WE WAIT (April 04, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/04/03

A gospel song from long ago gathered the hope of millions into a yearning vision of peace: “Someday, a bright new wave Will break upon the shore; And there'll be no sickness No more sorrow, no more war; And little children Never will go hungry any more . . .” That bright new world hasn’t yet arrived. The headlines rage. The nations totter. Famished children in refugee camps wait for promised bread and water. But for believers in Jesus, our reality has already begun to change, even as we long for

MULTIPLYING GRACE (March 28, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/03/27

It never was a straight-line thing, this love we call the grace of God. It circles and surrounds, embraces and includes, until the throngs that praise God’s name are far too vast to count. In grace, Jesus forgives me. With gratitude, I offer you forgiveness. Because you have been liberated, you pass that grace to one who has offended you. And he in turn, when I offend him, offers me forgiveness. “Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven

BEYOND THE WINDOWS (March 21, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/03/21

Those the world calls saints weren’t typically the brittle, stained-glass figures of our pious imagination. The reason their stories are still told is that they trusted God more fully, accepted His freely-offered love, and opened their lives profoundly to His grace. Their story can be yours as well, for the Bible calls every believer in Christ a “saint.” The apostle Paul interceded for every man or woman who has ever trusted the grace of Jesus: “I pray that you may have the power to comprehend,

BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH 9MArch 14, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/03/13

We can’t make ourselves more loveable to God by years of good behavior. And yet, because of grace, we seek to do what pleases Him.We can’t earn even half an hour in heaven by acts of sympathy or kindness. And yet, because of grace, we spend unnumbered hours caring for the least of all His little ones. Those shining moments when we sometimes rise to our potential don’t make us even one bit more beloved by God. His love for us cannot be amplified, expanded, or improved. Grace cancels everything we

GRACE SO AMAZING (March 07, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/03/06

No one can grasp the grace of God unless God teaches him, embraces him, and holds him in an unexpected kindness.There’s no intellect so vast; there’s not a mystic so devout that he can plumb the depth of love by private contemplation. “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord. “And My ways are far beyond anything you could imagine” (Isa 55:8). Only the mind of God could Father-forth the grace of God. Only the Son who fully knows God’s mind could satisfy His justice and still

GRACE AND SAFETY (February 28, 20250

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/02/27

The gospel is only as good as the God who asks us to believe it. If He’s the disappointed, vengeful deity we have pictured in our frightened imaginations, then we do well to hide, to stay away: why would we risk ourselves with Him?But if Christ is, as His Word says, the Lord whose love for us survives even our worst choices and most defiant behaviors, then we may crawl out from beneath the bed and step out from the shadows. When I am loved at my lowest and embraced even at the height of my

THE UNEXPECTED GOSPEL (February 21, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/02/20

A muscular young athlete, bench-pressing massive iron; stonemasons, deeply-focused, chiseling the capstone for a tall cathedral spire; a driven young executive, burning midnight oil as she assesses market data.What do these pictures have in common? All celebrate intense, prodigious effort, spent to take the doer to the top in sport, in craftsmanship, in business. Our world’s awash in images like these: they are the icons of our functional religion. We learn so early to depend on no one else’s

PRACTICING GRACE (February 14, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/02/13

It’s not called “practicing” for nothing.On some great future day, the liberating, life-affirming grace we each receive from Jesus will also be the grace we give as freely to those who wound us, irritate our peace, or call out for our love and care. Between the “now” and “then” there’s a lot of practicing to do—a daily repetition of kind words, forgiving acts, and chosen, holy silences. Like hours we spent as children with pianos, violins, and flutes, we learn the patterns of the Jesus life—not all

GRACE GOES ON (February 07, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/02/06

If you’ve ever been forgiven; if you’ve been held when you were wrong, or bitter, or confused—you know the grace that never can repay the giver. So we surrender to the goodness God implants in human hearts. “We know how dearly God loves us, because He has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with His love” (Rom 5:5). We come to understand God’s grace when we are loved extravagantly, without apparent cause, and with no expectation of response. We vow with everything within that we will love

OUT OF THE DEPTHS (January 31, 2025)

Adventist Review Podcasts ·

2025/01/30

“When I’m deep in a hole, lower a rope, not a shovel.”The last thing we need when we’ve dug ourselves profoundly into pain or confusion or sin is more of the same. Our best efforts got us there: our best efforts won’t deliver us. The pit only gets deeper—and so does our frustration. As Scripture says, “There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” (Prov 14:12). Rescue only comes from above—from Someone who both sees our plight and can do something to change it. God’s
