About me

I am taken on a faith journey that is beyond me. My various blogs are an attempt at sharing what the Spirit shows me, things I take in faith (always with a slight tremble knowing that the things I have taken not become mine before after I have been in hell a couple of times) and, not least, I try to share God's amazing grace. I am 48 years old, live in small city 60km north of Oslo called Hønefoss. I like to read, workout with weights and I am a metal head (thrash, metal-core, death metal). Hope you find something that blesses you on this site. Blessings to you and may you by God's grace find out who you truly are and walk in that freedom Jesus promised us.

We live in Romans 8

To put it briefly, Romans 7 is not the chapter in which the believer lives. We live indwelt By Christ in Romans 8. Romans 7 is when we forget that Christ lives in us, and we try to live – to fulfill the law – by our own strength. But independent self is sin, therefore the moment we forget the indwelling Christ, and try to live by independent self, sin is at work in us, and we are under its dominion. Therefore the point to remember is that as that chapter tells us, we are dead to the law; that means we are not independent people trying to fulfill God’s law. We are new people, with the Law-Giver living in us, Christ Himself. We only enter the bondage of Romans 7, when we forget that fact and we must learn to turn quickly by the cleansing blood to our abiding place in Romans 8.

Does teaching pure grace encourage sin in people's lives?

The true preaching of the gospel of salvation by grace alone always leads to the possibility of this charge being brought against it. There is no better test as to whether a man is really preaching the New Testament gospel of salvation than this, that some people might misunderstand it and misinterpret it to mean that it really amounts to this, that because you are saved by grace alone it does not matter at all what you do; you can go on sinning as much as you like because it will redound all the more to the glory of grace. If my preaching and presentation of the gospel of salvation does not expose it to that misunderstanding, then it is not the gospel.
-Martin Lloyd Jones-

Kom til meg...

"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."
Er du sliten? Utbrent? Lei av religion? Kom til meg. Vær sammen med meg og du skal få tilbake livet ditt. Jeg skal vise deg hvordan du virkelig kan hvile. Gå sammen med meg og arbeid sammen med meg - se hvordan jeg gjør det. Lær av meg nådens upåtvungne rytmer. Jeg kommer ikke til å pålegge deg noe tungt som tar kvelertak på deg. Vær i mitt selskap og du vil lære å leve livet i en fri og nærmest vektløs tilstand (Matt 11: 28-30).(Oversatt fra The Message av Eugene H. Peterson)
