We cannot earn reconciliation with God, the debt we owe is unpayable by us. What sometimes gets missed in the joy of that reality, is the price we have to pay if we want to receive that free gift. To be saved, to apply the gift to ourselves, we must 'Believe on the name of the Lord Jesus' We have to identify with Him, we have to do as he did.  We have to die. We have to die to self, die to this world. And this isn't some metaphor that really means we can carry on living as we used to. The death we die must be as real and decisive as that of jesus on the cross. Uncomfortable, radical, true.

Hebrews 12 invites the question "what are we coming to?" Often we come to circumstances, people or situations seeing only the outward. We get caught up in structure, tradition, we get distracted or daunted by the size or complexity or the intransigence of the problem. The writer points to a different reality, a deeper truth. What we are actually coming to is a festal gathering - not because the circumstances are necessarily joyful, but because the bringer and source of joy is at the heart of them, bringing victry and transformation and healing.

Ever felt so lonely you wanted to die? Despite his incredible ministry and extraordinary victories, Elijah felt just like that. God didn't intend for him to get so isolated and found ways of redeeming things, but how did it happen? How do we respond to similar situations, how do we avoid the problems he faced - and if we face them, how do we find a way out? 00:54:00Thinking AllowednoLoneliness,Isolation,Elijah,Obadiah,JezebelEver felt like giving up, like it all rests on you?

Does belief in the inspiration of Scripture preclude such a belief? Is the theory even credible from a scientific point of view? Is 'Intelligent Design' intelligent? Are the arguments put forward by some Christians opposed to evolution helpful or do they discredit the Gospel to those outside of faith? In tonight's 'Thinking allowed' we're going to tackle these questions head on. If these questions interest you, we think you will enjoy the 'Thinking Allowed' book. 00:39:00Thinking AllowednoEvolution,Intelligent Design,Creation,Darwin,ThermodynamicsIs it possible for Christians to believe in the theory of evolution?

Further, it is argued, there is no scriptural evidence to the contrary on these issues and Church practice and tradition have always followed this line. The issue raises important questions about God's character and the way we read and interpret scripture – and this latter point rather depends on how we view the nature of scripture and how it is supposed to work. We thought it was time for us to 'think allowed on this subject. 00:47:00Thinking Allowednowomen in leadership,authority,church,female apostles,truthWomen it is sometimes said, should not teach or have authority in the church for the following reasons: There is an eternal principle that was established inhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thinkingallowed/2013/07/09/thinking-allowed--how-does-god-do-itReligionhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thinkingallowed/2013/07/09/thinking-allowed--how-does-god-do-it/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/thinkingallowed/2013/07/09/thinking-allowed--how-does-god-do-itTue, 09 Jul 2013 18:30:00 GMTThinking Allowed - How Does God Do it>? Following last week's talk on 'mystery' we look practically at how God gets His will done in a world where He doesn't 'insist on His own way'. We use the story of Joseph and Esther to illustrate how human, demonic and divine choice interact. With a story from our Thinking Allowed book to conclude, this is a practical guide to an Open Theology. 00:43:00Thinking AllowednoLordship,Open Theology,Joseph,Esther,CreationFollowing last week's talk on 'mystery' we look practically at how God gets His will done in a world where He doesn't 'insist on His own way'.

The Bible says that 'His ways are not our ways' and gives us glimpses of His majesty and power that are truly incomprehensible. We see how at the same time He is able to strategise for a whole universe and know the number of hairs on an individuals head, such knowledge is truly 'beyond us'. Yet we have been created for relationship with this transcedent God; and not the master slave relationship where the servant has no need to know his master's thoughts or plans, but as friends and more so, collectively, as His bride. And when we look at scriptural references to 'mystery' it is almost always in the context of a mystery now revealed. So, what are wew supposed to know, how much can wew understand, what are we called to grapple with and work through? Have we been deceived by the enemy into using 'mystery' as an excuse not to challenge some of our preconceptions about God? 00:49:00Thinking Allowednomystery,revelation,light,Jesus,reasonGod is big!

When it seems as if God hasn't spoken anything for a while, how do we respond? Do we make up a whole lot of new things to fill the vacuum? Does our relationship descend into ritual? What happens to our faith level? As we end the Old Testament story of God's redemptive plan to have a people in a place, we meet Zechariah the male priest from the Capital city and Mary, the 14 year old peasant girl from the back of beyond. Which of these will meet Gabriel with faith when he shares extraordinary news - that after 400 years of silence, God is speaking again? If you enjoy these familiar stories with fresh insight you might like to read "Mary's Diary" which retells the Gospel of Luke and the first part of Acts as seen through the eyes of Jesus' mother. 00:41:00Thinking AllowednoGabriel,Mary,Zechariah,Church,ChristmasIt's David's birthday today - so whilst he's celebrating, here's a pre-recorded episode for tonight.

Maybe even from friends and family, from those who you expected to be supportive of your vision?

After centuries of delay he finally had a people in a place who could represent Him to other nations. It was a plan that had been shown to work. The life of Naomi so shone of God that Ruth from the land of curse was brought to the land of blessing. But instead of pressing into their call to be different, out goes the cry "We want to be like others - give us a king" Tonight we look at holiness in a whole new light.  We look at Saul and David - Ruth's great-grandson and how the kingdom becomes established. And we see how God allows us the consequence of our choices. What's the link between church, holiness and kingdom - how do we avoid being distracted by the outward appearance?
