"A monumental addition to public theology" Assoc. Prof. Stuart Piggin "Grace-Based Justice is grounded and rooted in the mediation of Christ, in His unrepeatable Atonement, and in the supremacy of Christ." Dr. Armen Gakavian "a unique stream of Christian consciousness that demands studious consideration." Martin Howard "Do not dismiss this work - it uniquely raises issues and proposes solutions that the church needs to consider if it is to retain any dignity and seriousness." - Rev. (Dr.) Geoffrey Leslie The 101 Key Propositions and 95 Theses of these Introductory Statements on Grace-Based Justice represent the distillation of the key thoughts of James C. Waller in the series of unique volumes he has written on Grace-Based Justice for the 2017 commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation. These world-first volumes are meant to rectify a series of crucial theological and existential errors in the practice of Evangelical and Reformed Churches within mainstream Western Civilization. James Waller demonstrates how ongoing Reformation is being handcuffed by firstly the Church's inability to understand the Cross as the divinely appointed catalyst not only for personal transformation but also for systems, structures, governances, and justices. Mr. Waller draws out the crucial cognate conjunction, conjugal and co-relative connections between Grace-Based Justification and Grace-Based Justice, which were ignored and stalled at the Reformation, and have hampered Christianity and the advance of the Kingdom of God on earth ever since.
A love message from God to me and also you. A Love Message from God I got to the Bible study early but still was surprised no one else was there yet. While I waited for the others, I looked around. It was December, so I was not surprised to see a tall bag of Christmas ornaments on the table. I started taking them out of the bag, admiring their color and sparkle. There was a blue ornament ball and a fancy silver ball, but I saw the red one. It was true red with red sparkles. Its beauty captivated me. I heard God say, "As beautiful as this is, you are even more beautiful to me." (From the section, "Who is God?")

"All of a sudden, as our doctor was looking at the ultrasound, another doctor came into the room. He asked the other physician to sit and look. I remember them saying something about looking for fetal heart rhythms. Again, this was all slow motion to me, and it didn't feel real. Then, the second physician turned to me and put his hand on my leg and said softly, 'I'm so sorry, ' as he got up and left." Going through a tragic loss can be heartbreaking and devastating. While grieving, you never expect people to inadvertently hurt you by saying something like, "Well, God just needed another angel." How could a comment spoken from a compassionate heart be so hurtful to someone suffering a loss? It's hurtful because it's untrue. Take a journey with me as I share our story of tragedy when we lost our firstborn son, Andrew, as well as the year following his death, where God walked us through grieving and sorting out truth from lies. Do our loved ones become angels when they die? Is death God's plan for some people? You will see the answers to these questions and more as we look in God's Word. You will learn what to say to people grieving and what is better left unsaid. And, if you've experienced loss, you'll learn God's blueprint for grieving, how to let God piece your broken heart back together, and how to turn a tragedy into a testimony!

Common sense looks at how our faith interacts with daily events. The faith of a senior expressed when it encounters politics, COVID-19, racism, gun violence, and more. We all have questions about what we see on the nightly news. Sometimes we actually get answers! Having the time to seek the truth is usually limited and may be just switching between liberal and conservative media on TV, radio, print, or the internet. Then we ask the second question, can we trust the information we have found? The 2021 Chronicles is a conservative analysis of the actions of the Biden administration. It will help bring clarity to the major actions: COVID-19 pandemic, immigration, racism, legislation, and executive orders-a chronological stroll through the administration's early days.
