I attended a “Deeper Walk” conference on Heart Focused Discipleship in Indianapolis in February.  The first session that I attended was “Living with a True Face” by John Lynch.  It was about grace and was the most encouraging, uplifting message I have ever heard.  The essence of his message is that each of must choose between pleasing God and trusting God and that many of us wear a mask because we are afraid to let others or God see our true selves.  His “TrueFaced Message” is available at http://truefaced.com/site/ .  John is the pastor of the Open Door Fellowship Church in Phoenix.  His Sunday messages are available free at http://www.odfchurch.org/.
 
Another site that I strongly recommend is http://www.forhisglory.org/.  Joel Young is a Messianic Jew who has been teaching Bible studies for about 20 years.  He is very well versed in Hebrew and in Jewish history, culture, and traditions.  He uses this background to bring out meanings in scriptures that I could never find on my own.  His Bible studies are deep and fascinating. 

I have been following the debates on salvation, rewards, and the rapture.  I believe that salvation is by faith plus nothing, that each of progresses in our walk at our own rate, that works determine rewards, and that there is one rapture and it is pretribulation.  I admit that I could be wrong but to me, for Jesus to leave immature Christians behind at the rapture would be unthinkable -- like leaving the wounded on the battlefield.  I look forward to the day when Jesus returns ending the debate as the Truth becomes clear to all.
