The Invention of “Saving” Faith

For centuries, James 2 has been read as teaching two kinds of faith—“true” vs. “demonic.” This essay shows how that split stems from Augustine’s Latin Bible and the Donatist fight, not James. Restore the dialogue cues, and the passage calls believers to live their shared faith, not classify it.

Somatic Devotion (Pt. 1)

When we say “worship,” we usually mean singing on Sundays. But Scripture shows something far wider: devotion—one-way, God-ward acts that turn ordinary life toward Him. What if cars, coffee, and commutes could become devotion? What if our whole bodies joined the song?

Reading Someone Else’s Mail

Many believers unintentionally open someone else’s mail in Scripture—claiming promises or commands never addressed to them. The key is learning the difference between primary application (what it meant to the original audience) and secondary application (what we can learn from it). When we read the Bible’s letters as they were sent, God’s voice grows clearer, not smaller.

Who Said That?

The Bible is God’s Word for us—but not every line was written to us. Confusing the author, recipient, speaker, and audience can twist meaning and create contradictions. Learning to track these “four parties of Scripture” clears the noise and lets us hear God’s Word as it was meant.

The Problems of Allegorical Interpretation

When allegorical interpretation ignores grammar, history, and authorial intent, it breeds chaos—overloading words, merging unrelated contexts, and inventing hidden codes. The result is subjective “truth” that weakens Scripture’s authority. Here’s how these errors work—and what to do instead.

Free Grace and Deconstruction

Deconstruction isn’t just doubt or hurt—it’s a spiritual crisis where faith is dismantled and tested. Some walk away, others distort, but many rebuild or deepen their trust in Christ. Free Grace offers a uniquely fear-free environment where love, assurance, and truth can guide people through the chaos.
