Jesus Doesn't Beg

The "Steps of Salvation"

I semi-jokingly made a post the other day about printing up t-shirts of the above image, but the response was so great that I actually made it happen. Grab a shirt or a mug at my Etsy store [https://www.etsy.com/shop/ChurchReset?ref=shop_profile&listing_id=4519671978]. At the same time, I got a number of comments about the list, and I thought it presented a good opportunity to talk about the “steps of salvation” as they’re often understood. jackwilkie.co [http://jackwilkie.co] This is a public episode.

Eden Has the Answers

The following is a first look at my next book project that’s currently underway. The book will be a study of Genesis 1-3, examining how the answers to all of our day’s most pressing issues are found in those chapters. ‘Eden Has The Answers’ is a working title that will almost certainly not be the final one.

How Consumer Christianity Corrupted the Gospel

Consumer Christianity is evolving and expanding its reach. As it does, compromise comes along with it every step of the way. jackwilkie.co [http://jackwilkie.co] This is a public episode.

On Unity with Non-Institutional churches of Christ

For the last couple of weeks, I’ve had numerous discussions with and about the Non-Institutional churches of Christ (NICOC hereafter), both in preparation for and response to our Think Deeper Podcast episode [https://youtu.be/GdR8yFubCws?si=lYYQTel_62POKSPa] on the topic. You can watch the episode for a bit of a background if you’re not familiar, but a very basic summary is that the NICOC and the Institutional or Mainline churches of Christ (MCOC hereafter) had a sharp parting of the ways 70-80 years ago over whether the local church had authority to send contribution funds to parachurch organizations. Our guest, Jacob Hudgins, was a wonderful representative for the view, and we had a very cordial discussion. Everything that follows in this piece is neither an attempt to speak for his point of view or to argue back against what he said in the episode. Rather, I want to look at the prospects for unity between the NICOC and the MCOC going forward from here. jackwilkie.co [http://jackwilkie.co] This is a public episode.
