POPULARITY
In my book “God Without Religion,” I wrote that “self-improvement is a sin and an impossibility.” That's right, a sin! In Galatians 3, Paul chastises the Galatians for trying to perfect themselves through self-effort.This is very different from what popular religion teaches, and a recent caller asked for clarification. Doesn't God want the world to self-improve? Doesn't it please Him when I do my part and work toward bettering myself?As I share in this episode, God never calls you to improve yourself. Instead, He wants you to count yourself alive or agree with Him about being the new self. Simply put, you can't improve on what God's already done for you and to you.Check out this surprising truth and be encouraged!We hope you enjoyed this episode.

When believers in Yeshua first come in to a Messianic or Hebraic understanding of the faith, it can be an exciting and spiritually invigorating time. But as you begin to navigate this new, unfamiliar territory, it can also be confusing. Is this a Jewish faith? Is it Christian? Is it somewhere in the middle? And despite having moved on from one brand of religion, you end up just exchanging it for another one, mistaking it for a “true faith” in God. In this episode, Kevin addresses this blind spot that many believers have whenever they begin traveling a new spiritual path, and suggests a way to successfully reach God without religion.

"How do we break free from self-made religion? How do live life in Christ apart from a bunch of rules? Are we going to put our confidence in the Bible-belt or what the Bible actually says? * Chadrick asks about the final judgment and the separation of sheep from the goats in Matthew 25. * UNITED October 15-17, 2021 https://basicgospel.net/united/ * What about corporate fasts (and praying for something specific)? My sister-in-law has asked us to fast until noon everyday and pray for her husband in the ICU. Are we just going through the motions?

Many people want to find God. There are many books on the subject which promise to put you on the path to find Him. Most of religions of the world make the claim to make you one of His own.1 However, there are some people who want to find God without religion. They might say (and many do), “I’m spiritual, not religious.” They might not want to follow anyone’s guidance or rules. Or, as happens frequently, they have been hurt by a faith community in the past and want to now avoid it entirely. So is it possible? Can you find God without religion? In order to answer this question, let’s first look at who God is as well as the definition of religion. Who Is God? We have always believed in something other: a Creator God, a pantheon, even the desired end of “nothingness” in Buddhism is logically something beyond what we know. We have a sense of right, a belief that there is an absolute truth and order . . . a law . . . and by extension a Lawgiver. In order for there to be an absolute rightness and absolute justice, there must be One who is absolutely righteous, absolutely just, a perfect Being. Those Thomas Aquinas referred to as “virtuous pagans,” such as Plato’s Socrates and Aristotle, explored this concept long before the Christian church. Plato’s perfect forms were beyond matter and beyond space, the ultimate reality, and Aristotle believed in a perfect self-consciousness with a separate essence from the created world. But it was Anselm in the Middle Ages who set about to clarify and distinguish the God Christians worshiped from the pantheons surrounding them through the nature and quality of His Being. Anslem’s reasoning, which became known as the “ontological argument,” is that God is the maximally great being. He is the greatest thing that we can conceive of, beyond all other things. The second part of his argument for God is that as actual things are greater than our ideas of the thing, that if we can conceive of a maximally great being then there must be such a being because if He was not actual . . . then we would be able to conceive of something greater. This is a simplified form of his argument, and as an argument for the existence of God, I know this sounds a little circular . . . Philosophers love to debate it. However, for the purpose of this discussion, I just want to point out what we mean by God: He is the Greatest Thing, being absolutely perfect, all knowing, all powerful, absolutely just, and outside of space and time. That is God. If the thing you are searching for is something other than that . . . that isn’t God. How Should We Respond to God?
