Today Pastor Gary's topic of choice was one that led us to wonder if the distinction of two kinds of righteousness could be found in the Old Testament. Get ready for a surprise. We'll be off next week for Holy Week, but we'll have a rerun ready to go!

All throughout the centuries Christians get confused--or are made to be confused--about the righteousness that saves. If you're a newer listener and you're not sure what kind of righteousness saves, here's a hint: It's not what you think.

The life of a Christian is full of distinctions. There's Law and Gospel, and that's one you've hear a lot on this show, but how about Theology of Glory vs. the Theology of the Cross?

After the Christchurch New Zealand Mosque attack Chelsea Clinton was accused of using Hate speech that triggered the attacker to do what he did.

Pastor Gary believes that most people (including pastors) don't know what to do with a passage like, "Therefore, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling".
