Why Would I Want to be Saved?
by Cara Erickson on July 10th, 2025
This blog post explores the sobering yet hope-filled reality that the Bible teaches about eternity. It outlines the two possible outcomes after this life: eternity in Hell or eternity in Heaven. Hell is depicted in Scripture as a place of unending torment, where God’s holy wrath is fully poured out and residents experience both physical and mental anguish forever, knowing they rejected Christ as Lord. In contrast, Heaven is described as a place of unimaginable beauty and joy, where God dwells intimately with His people, wiping away all pain, mourning, and death, and making all things new. Ultimately, the post emphasizes that salvation is not merely about avoiding Hell or gaining Heaven, but about receiving God Himself – being welcomed into His presence to know, worship, and enjoy Him forever.  Read More

If grace is free, why does obedience matter?
by Seth Shelton on May 12th, 2025
This blog post explores the common question, “If God’s grace is free, why am I expected to obey Him or love and serve others?” by unpacking a fundamental misunderstanding about the nature and effect of grace. Rather than demanding anything, true grace—God’s undeserved, unmerited, and unobligated favor—transforms those who receive it. Through a biblical lens, the post explains that grace meets us in our spiritual death, makes us alive in Christ, and empowers us to live differently, not out of obligation but as a joyful response. Obedience, love, and service are not expectations placed on us to earn grace, but the fruit produced by grace within us. The right question is not why grace expects something, but how grace so deeply changes us that we long to obey and serve in return.  Read More
