Podcast Your Place Of Grace With Anthony Sluzas

We are dealing openly and honestly in today’s podcast with the subject of moral failure from the authority of the Word of God. (For mature listeners)

Reincarnation is a belief that extends back many centuries which holds that one must return to repay some debt through successive lives. People believe that there is a need to improve themselves and be what they have not been in the past. Those who believe in this concept often think this is novel and clever, but they are walking in delusion. Satan…

Let’s talk about a frequently abused passage in the Bible. This one is a “biggie” which sadly, many Christians, and yes, even atheists are quick to quote. But let’s examine what Jesus really said—in its proper context.

According to Genesis 6, the ancient world was so filled with wickedness and evil that God was grieved He had made mankind. Therefore, He decided to blot out every living creature on earth. But amid all the corruption, Noah “found favor in the eyes of the Lord” and was rescued from the destruction of the flood. Our world today is also filled with si…

We live in a world that’s being persuaded there are no absolute moral truths. Because there are no standards, our society has become ungodly, immoral, unsafe, and worthy of God’s judgment. It’s time we turn from this dangerous situation and stand firmly, without compromise, for our biblical beliefs.

The virgin birth is inexplicable except as a miracle. There is no possible way for a virgin to have a baby, but with God, all things are possible!

We live in a world that’s being persuaded there are no absolute moral truths. Because there are no standards, our society has become ungodly, immoral, unsafe, and worthy of God’s judgment. It’s time we turn from this dangerous situation and stand firmly, without compromise, for our biblical beliefs.

Obeying God is always the right thing to do, but it often isn’t easy. When His assignments seem beyond our capabilities, we need courage and determination to follow through. Courage is the quality of mind and spirit enabling us to meet danger, opposition, or the challenges of life bravely, calmly, and decisively…

Most of us have used the word “grace” with our experience of salvation. We correctly use the word as proof that you can’t earn your salvation. We show it’s what God does, and we receive what we call “God’s unmerited favor.” That’s the definition most believers received for the grace of God. It’s not an inaccurate definition, but neither is it a com…

This world’s economic system, by all measures and predictors, is increasingly moving steadily toward its own collapse. This does not need to be our destiny in the short term, but the Book of Revelation seems to indicate that ultimately this will take place when Jesus comes again. In today’s podcast, we’ll look at principles for the church’s role in…

The Lord is calling us to make up our minds about the spiritual arena and to boldly declare war against the enemy of our souls. When you are confronted at the mental and emotional level, the Word of God says to fix your mind on Jesus, and He will keep you in perfect peace because you’ve chosen to trust in Him.…

How would you define peace? Perhaps a more important question is, do you have genuine peace in your heart?

Seeing that salvation comes to our family members begins by understanding the Truth and what’s at stake, and praying accordingly.

Many people today are living for the moment and are willing to pay any price to get what they want. This is the situation we see in the story of Jacob and Esau recorded in Genesis 25:25-34. How each brother responded to this situation teaches us an essential lesson today.

What thoughts about others are hindering you from having harmonious relationships? Is there someone you need to forgive? If so, who? Are you willing to lay your critical thoughts and feelings about yourself and others at Jesus’ feet and ask Him to begin the process of correcting and healing your mind and heart so you can experience His peace?…

What does the Word of God instruct you to do so you can courageously face whatever happens? How do you overcome fear, inadequacy, and discouragement—three of our worst enemies? The Bible has the answers.

Our nation and the world-at-large is suffering from uncertainty, uneasiness, conflict, and distrust. If ever we needed to rely on the Scripture, it’s today. Such times should lead us to cry out to God, asking Him for the wisdom, courage, and obedience to do what’s right.

The focal point of this study isn’t only the fact that Jesus still heals, but that He wants to use us as the agency through which His healing power is communicated. When Jesus heals, what we do with that healing is just as important to the Lord as when we’ve received it.

Do you feel loved by God? Why or why not? What does God’s Word say about His love for you? Are you able to give love, or is something hindering you from expressing it freely to others?

Your eternal destiny just might be tied directly to your ability to discern between truth and what is false. Thus, it is very important to know what the Bible really says about what is solidly grounded in scripture and what is counterfeit…especially in these last days.

Loneliness isn’t just something that only affects those who live in isolation; it is present in marriages and people who live in families, work with others and have friends. Some lonely people have everything money can buy, but all their toys and luxuries can’t provide what’s missing. In the very beginning, God said, “It is not good for the man to …

If you have ever contemplated “ending it all,” please get quiet, open your Bible, prayerfully listen, and learn just how much God loves you.

There are hindrances to healing that keep us from receiving the wholeness God desires for us. We must keep in mind that it’s always God’s will to hear our prayer, and it is the will of God to heal now. However, sometimes we harbor things in our hearts that prevent us from being healed. Once we honestly search our hearts and ask the Holy Spirit to r…

Christianity without joy is a Christianity without credibility. Joyless people are not only miserable but often, chronically sick. However, the Bible is clear; the joy of the Lord does not depend on your circumstances. You rejoice by choice!

When a great attack came upon the nation of Judah, Jehoshaphat called the people to get serious with God by fasting and devoting themselves to prayer and praise. Coming from near and far, God’s people gathered at the temple of the Lord in the front of the new courtyard. Jehoshaphat stood before the assembly, and they cried out to God. It was here t…

Stress literally is a killer. So, how are we going to handle it? Many folks try to escape their anxiety with medications, drugs, alcohol, sex, porn, gambling, or anything that brings relief. But none of these methods work, nor are they healthy. The ultimate solution only comes from God, and He has freely provided it to every one of His children.…

Let’s cut through all the conjecture, superstition, Hollywood hype, ignorance, and fear. Let’s see what the Word of God says about the enemy of our souls, and discover the authority we have over him through the Lord Jesus Christ.

Everything connected with the New Testament Church should bear the stamp of blessing, fruitfulness, abundance, healing, and wholeness, and it's all because of Calvary!

Let’s talk about a frequently abused passage in the Bible. This one is a biggie which many Christians, and even atheists glibly quote. But let’s examine what Jesus really said—in context.

God allows trials in our lives to purify and strengthen us in our faith and Christian life. But temptations come to entice, pollute, and weaken us. As believers, we’re going to face both temptations and trials of different kinds and sizes and on various occasions in our lives. These are the times when our faith is tried by fire.…

God has spoken very clearly throughout Scripture regarding His will for our lives. In addition, He has given us His Holy Spirit to help us discern what He desires and to enable us to obey Him. However, we must each decide whether we are going to follow Him or go our own way.

The Cross has become a symbol of Christianity, but it’s so much more than a mere trinket or piece of fashion jewelry hanging around someone’s neck. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is such an important doctrine because understanding it correctly determines whether or not we have eternal life.

When we come to Jesus, He works deliverance; often bringing a new hope and new lease on life. But what we do with our life after being healed is also important. He desires that we become vessels of His compassion and healing power to those who are suffering.

The Lord wants us to live in a deep, intimate, and obedient relationship with Him rather than in conformity to the world around us. This means that sometimes people who are living in sin will not want to be in our company because we make them feel uncomfortable. This is inevitable because like Noah we are walking in light while those in the world a…

According to Genesis 6, the ancient world was so filled with wickedness and evil that God was grieved He had made mankind. Therefore, He decided to destroy every living creature on earth. However, in the midst of all the corruption, Noah “found favor in the eyes of the Lord” and was rescued from the destruction of the flood (v. 8). Our world today …

Mark 10:17-27 tells a story about a man who knew something was missing in his life. He ran to Jesus, knelt down before Him, and asked, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

From the moment you commit your life to Jesus Christ, you enter the school of faith because, from that point on, the Lord’s goal is to teach you to trust in Him. Therefore, in order to live effectively and grow in your relationship with Him, you must have confidence that God—the Sovereign Lord of the universe—will do exactly what He says and fulfil…

If you have ever contemplated “ending it all,” please get quiet, open your Bible, prayerfully listen, and learn just how much God loves you.

What kind of temptations do you regularly face? Do you have a particular weakness that makes you more vulnerable to these enticements? We’ve all experienced this, and sometimes the pull is so strong that we begin to come up with reasons why yielding isn’t so bad. However, we need to stop and consider that the voice we’re listening to is Satan’s, an…

Do you focus on how much you don’t have, how much you’d like to have, what you could do to increase your income, or what you would do with more money? These are common concerns for all of us, but there’s another spiritual aspect we should consider when we think about our finances—what does God have to say about it, and what would He have us give aw…

When we open our hearts and come to Jesus, He works deliverance; bringing new hope and a new lease on life. But what we do with our life after being healed is also vitally important.

It’s amazing the number of people who know the Lord heals today, and yet when something goes wrong, the first thing they do is run to the doctor as if the Lord wasn’t closer than the doctor. It’s a challenge to learn to balance those things; how do I learn to call on the Lord first? One of the Lord’s promises to us is His presence and power to heal…

There is nothing quite like the pain of betrayal. It is indescribable. How do worldly people respond to betrayal? How have you responded to it? There was One who experienced betrayal as no other person in human history. We can learn much from His example and act accordingly—with forgiveness, grace, and mercy.…

The mission of the church is not to win the world’s praises. Many modern proponents in the church of “engaging the culture” are seemingly deferring to political correctness. When they translate that for young evangelicals into concrete plans of action, it often turns out to mean staying in step with fashion…as if being seen as cool were the key to …

Humanity is caught in the grip of fear: fears over deadly diseases, lockdowns, financial ruin, violence, cancel culture, government overreach, and political upheaval. At the very root of it all is sin, and the only answer is found at the Cross of Jesus Christ.

) Granting forgiveness can be a very hard thing to do. Many, if not most, Christian counseling sessions are related to struggles with forgiveness. It’s a subject that poses hard questions. Let’s look at some of the major ones.

We are in the midst of a violent spiritual tempest—one that’s turned so many aspects of our lives upside down. Have we actually used this occasion to strengthen ourselves and build our relationship with our Savior, or are we sinking?

Is there an area of your life that is out of control? Maybe it’s finances, moral issues, relationships, attitudes, habits, gossip, or laziness. A lack of self-control in any part of our lives does not fit who we are in Christ. His desire is that we live in full surrender to Him so that His Spirit can produce in us the fruit of self-control.…

Have you ever sensed that you were hearing from God? God still speaks to His children. His main channel for directing us is through His Word, though He will also speak to us personally and specifically—especially if we’re willing to listen and obey.

Each day is filled with decisions, and every choice is an opportunity to ask the Lord what He would have us do. The decisions could be practical, moral, financial, or any other issue. How can we be sure that what we are considering is the will of God?
