Good Call with Andrew FarleyOnce Saved, Always Saved? Really?The permanence of your salvation is an important truth we’ll never stop proclaiming at The Grace Message. (Sadly, there are still far too many teaching you can lose your salvation!)Recently, two back-to-back callers asked if “once saved, always saved” is really true. In a unique twist, I shared the Bible passages used by those who think salvation can be lost and revealed their true context. The bottom line: Believing in temporary salvation is calling God a liar!I also shared numerous Scriptures that prove nothing, including your sins, can separate you from God’s love. Wa...

2025-01-0209 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyIs Your Next Sin Already Forgiven?There’s a common misconception that 1 John 1:9 instructs Christians to confess their sins to be forgiven and cleansed by God every day.The idea that God forgives your past sins at salvation but then leaves you with the burden of confessing each sin going forward to remain forgiven, misses the incredible power of the true Gospel message.In this call, I unpack the proper context of this passage, proving it’s not directed at believers. Your forgiveness doesn’t come in daily installments; you are a totally forgiven person. And when you grasp this amazing reality, you’ll...
2024-12-2618 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyIs God Mad At Me?George struggled so much with sin that it got to the point where he wondered if God was fed up with him. Was this the end for George? Was God so angry and frustrated that He was through with George? These were his concerns.So, can you out-sin the grace of God? Will the blood of Jesus run out on you? And if not, then what’s the motivation for upright living anyway?In this call, I address these crucial questions about forgiveness and godliness. I hope it’s both clarifying and inspiring for you today.

2024-12-1205 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyIs the Gospel Truly Grace Plus Nothing?While most Christian teaching mentions the grace of God, few go as far as we do at The Grace Message in bragging on God’s grace and the finished work of Christ.But how do we know we’re right about God’s grace and that a grace-centered perspective is the most accurate understanding of the Gospel? Is it the grace of God, plus nothing else added in? Or is it grace plus something we need to earn or achieve?As I share in this short episode, it all comes down to what you believe about the qu...

2024-11-2807 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyPaul’s Thorn in the FleshThe apostle Paul experienced physical “weakness” of some kind, because of what he called a “thorn in the flesh.” There are many theories about this thorn:Was Paul possessed by a demon?Was it an annoying person in Paul’s life?Was it a physical infirmity Paul suffered?Was it simply persecution in general?We can’t know for certain exactly what type of suffering Paul went through in regard to this thorn, but we can rule out demon possession. In this short video clip, I explain why and – just for fun – make one guess at Paul’s thorn. No matter what you mi...

In fact, it’s not about achieving anything! No, it’s about receiving this perfect love from God and reflecting it to others...

But he noticed the prayer says “Forgive us our sins for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.” Jesus even goes on to say, “If you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”This worried Cedric. He wondered whether or not he was fully forgiven or if he needed to recite the prayer every night before bed to get more forgiven. Even more, he wondered if he could lose his salvation.In this vi...
2024-10-3114 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyCan I Really Do ALL Things Through Christ?“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” Many interpret these famous words from Philippians 4 to mean that with enough faith, you can move mountains or conquer any obstacle.But what happens when your circumstances don’t change?

2024-09-2607 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyPut Off Your Old Self?Do you need to wake up every day and try to put off your old self? Put off who you were? Or has that already been done?Ephesians 4 says, “you have heard Him and have been taught in Him…[to] lay aside the old self… and [to] put on the new self.” Here, the verbs are “neutral” or timeless (called infinitives), so you read the context to discover what time they refer to. Clearly, Paul is saying that in first hearing the Gospel they “have heard” and “have been taught” (past tense) to put off the old self and to put on the ne...

2024-08-0807 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWhat if We Front-Loaded the Gospel With Love and Grace?We all want to grow but may find ourselves unsure of where to start.The popular approach revolves around a performance-based, carrot-and-stick mindset. We’re told to follow a checklist of activities, die to self, strive to hunger and thirst for more of God, and keep short accounts with Him along the way. It can feel like an impossible cycle of trying to get closer to God.But here’s the good news: We can continue in Christ just as we got started in Him. And God has already given us everything we need to move forw...

2024-07-1808 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyIf We Were Already Dead, What Died at Salvation?Part of the great news of the Gospel is that believers in Christ have moved from death to life. We are now dead to sin and alive to God! But this can lead to some interesting questions:• If we were spiritually dead as a lost person, what part of us died at salvation?• If we died, how are we alive now?• Do we have a human spirit that is distinct from God’s Spirit?In this episode, I share the incredible realities of what happened to your spirit (and nature) at salvation and how receivin...

I recently had a caller who shared her fear of following her desires and sought guidance on discerning God’s will.There are plenty of misconceptions about God’s leading, including the damaging belief that you can’t trust your own desires or that God has secret instructions for those who obey Him or search hard enough for His will.In this must-listen episode, I challenge these unhealthy views of God’s guidance.

So, is it out of my control? Is it not my responsibility? What do these statements in Romans 7 really mean?This was Chris’ question when he called in to our radio program.

It’s time to dive deep into the provocative question of whether you’re truly good.“Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.” This statement by Jesus in Mark 10 has been used to tell believers they’re bad, not good. But is that really what Jesus meant?In this episode, I unpack why it’s absolute nonsense to say Christians are still bad after being born again.

2024-04-2509 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWhy Is There Hostility Toward God’s Grace?The message of God’s grace can sound radically different from anything Christians have heard in popular religion.God’s grace challenges what many believers have been taught regarding forgiveness. One Sunday, you hear that God remembers your sins no more. The next week, you’re told to confess your sins to receive forgiveness from God. So, which is it? Has God taken away your sins forever, or do you need to ask Him to do it daily?Or maybe you’re taught that grace and forgiveness are merely topics to be balanced with others like prayer...

2024-02-0107 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyShould Christians Balance Law and Grace?The idea of Christians balancing law and grace is a common misconception in the church today. Yes, the Law is good and serves as a tutor to lead us to Christ, so it might seem logical that it brings stability to Christian living.But as believers, we are no longer under the Law. Trying to balance it with grace will only lead to a mixture of failure and victory. That’s because sin thrives under the Law, but sin is dead under grace!In this eye-opening clip from the daily broadcast, you’ll learn why it’s erro...

2024-01-1109 minGood Call with Andrew Farley"Don't Take Your Spirit from Me!"In Psalm 51:11, David pleads with God, “Do not cast me away from Your presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.” Old Testament prayers like this seem to indicate a person can lose the Holy Spirit. That’s why a listener recently asked if a believer could have, lose, and then regain the Holy Spirit.Thankfully, the New Covenant offers us a solid answer to this question. In this episode, you’ll discover why the gift of the Holy Spirit is irrevocable and why there are no exceptions or conditions to His indwelling presence!We hope...
2024-01-0410 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyThere's No Other Message Besides God's GraceWhen we reflect on why we do what we do at The Grace Message, it’s simple: we want as many as possible to experience the grace of God!Far too many people have been taught that Christianity is about sin management and self-improvement, jumping through hoops trying to get right and stay right with God. They don’t know the freedom found in their forgiveness, righteousness, and new identity in Christ.In this episode, I share with a recent caller the importance of remaining solely focused on grace and why grace is the one and only...
2023-12-2810 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyThe New Covenant Explained!This week of Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

I also share some powerful truths about God’s new way as they relate to your new heart, your new desires, and your once-for-all forgiveness.If you’re feeling discouraged, or if...
2023-12-2107 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWhat Does Real Christianity Look Like?Many are taught that living the Christian life is about adherence to a set of rules, political beliefs, or conservative values. Or that it’s about observing religious rituals and pursuing clean living. But is this common view of Christianity really the good news of the Gospel?In this short episode, I address a question that every thinking Christian needs to be asking: What does real Christianity look like?You’ll hear a freeing, inspiring answer that transcends politics, principles, and self-improvement and see that the Christian life is about Christ in you. It’s a timele...
2023-12-1408 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyCan Unconfessed Sin Hinder Our Prayers?A recent caller to the radio program asked if unconfessed sin hinders our prayers. Does it create an obstacle or blockage to our fellowship with God? What about the sins we forget to confess?In this video clip, I share how some religious teachers have used this approach to scare Christians into behaving. But what’s intended as motivational has the opposite effect. It’s a hijacking of forgiveness and a hedging on the blood of Christ.There’s a much better solution.Celebrate the truth with me today!We hope you enjoye...
2023-12-0709 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyA Fresh Look at The Great CommissionShortly before ascending to Heaven, Jesus’ last words included, “Go and make disciples.” Known as the Great Commission, this famous instruction serves as a rallying cry for many churches and inspires people to move to the far corners of the Earth.But did Jesus truly say, “Go”? A closer look at the original language reveals something intriguing. It actually reads, “As you go…” or even “Having gone…” Is it possible we’ve misunderstood parts of this passage?As I share with a caller in this short video clip, The Great Commission isn’t an imposing call to relocate. It’s not a gu...

Sharon, a young believer, recently called into the radio program asking for clarity on this. She has received counsel from long-time believers who say she should pray away those generational curses.In this short video clip, I warn against following someone just because they’ve been a believer for a long time. I also address if we should be concerned about generational curses passed down by people in our lineage. You’ll discover what it means to be part of a new generation that finds its identity in J...

Do you keep quiet or say something and share your view? Or do you withdraw and avoid time together to make it clear you don’t agree?A recent caller asked how to navigate a painful family situation and avoid the appearance of condoning poor decisions. In this short episode, I share where to keep your focus when facing awkward interactions with family members. You’ll be encouraged to discover how to love others even when your b...
2023-11-1606 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyThe Sequence of End Times Events?The events surrounding the return of Christ can be captivating for Christians. Plenty of popular teaching outlines the timing of what’s to come, including a rapture of believers, unbelievers left behind, tribulations, and more.While these end times events come from pictures and symbols found in the New Testament and the book of Revelation, we should be cautious about translating imagery into a literal sequence of events that we can follow with certainty.As I share with a recent caller, despite the mystery around how future events will unfold, the return of Christ and a fi...
2023-11-0906 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyHow to Feed Your FaithWhen you’re discouraged or weighed down by difficult circumstances, God can start to feel distant. It’s easy to think you might need more faith to carry you through.Thankfully, it’s not the size or quantity of your faith that’s important. If you’re a believer, you have all the faith you need! It’s where you direct it that matters.As I recently shared with a caller, you can stop striving to get more faith. Instead, you need to feed your faith! Soaking in the truth of God’s grace and your union with Chr...
2023-11-0206 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyCan Christians Enjoy Halloween Too?Given its pagan roots, some Christians question whether Halloween is an appropriate holiday to celebrate. A recent caller to our program asked to what extent Christians should participate and how to respond to family members who might think differently.While it’s important to be sensitive to a weaker brother and steer clear of anything celebrating witchcraft or evil, does our freedom in Christ allow us to enjoy the candy and costumes?In this episode, I share how Paul’s response to the Corinthians regarding meat sacrificed to idols is an incredibly helpful perspective on enjoying holi...
2023-10-2607 minGood Call with Andrew FarleySelf-Improvement Is a Sin!In my book “God Without Religion,” I wrote that “self-improvement is a sin and an impossibility.” That’s right, a sin! In Galatians 3, Paul chastises the Galatians for trying to perfect themselves through self-effort.This is very different from what popular religion teaches, and a recent caller asked for clarification. Doesn’t God want the world to self-improve? Doesn’t it please Him when I do my part and work toward bettering myself?As I share in this episode, God never calls you to improve yourself. Instead, He wants you to count yourself alive or agree with Him about...
2023-10-1906 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWhich Bible Translation Is Best?Christians today have access to more translations and versions of the Bible than ever before. But which one is most accurate? A recent caller heard the King James Version was the best, and many today still believe it contains the fewest errors.There’s a lot to consider when we talk about translations, versions, and inerrancy, but we should be careful about labeling any version the “best” – including the King James, which can be problematic in some cases.As I share in this episode, while there are no perfect versions of the Bible, there are a number o...
2023-10-1209 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyDoes the Church Need Revival?“The church needs revival!”It’s a message Christians often hear preached, and the underlying theme is there’s something wrong with the body of Christ. The church isn’t doing enough to please God. Maybe you’ve even heard the church today is “falling asleep” or “dead.” They say the church needs to plead for mercy and show more commitment.This sort of talking down to believers conveys a message of rejection. I don’t think it’s healthy, and I don’t think it reflects how God views the church at all. God is not frustrated or disappoi...
2023-10-0511 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyAre Remarried Christians Committing Adultery?Is it OK for divorced Christians to get remarried if their former spouse is still alive? A listener called recently for clarification after his friends said he’d be committing adultery if he were to remarry while his ex-wife is still living.This type of Scripture twisting around divorce and remarriage is damaging, unhealthy, and rooted in a misunderstanding of New Testament instructions. It leaves people feeling controlled by a former spouse instead of free to remarry with a clean slate.In this episode, I share the context of several relevant passages, including 1 Corinthians 7 and Romans 7, to...
2023-09-2815 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWhy Does James 2 Say "Justified by Works" Three Times?Throughout the New Testament, the Gospel is clearly announced. It declares that we are saved by faith and not by works. But did you know that James 2 seemingly contradicts this? That’s right. Three times in a row, the apostle James writes the phrase “justified by works”:“Was not Abraham our father justified by works…?” (v 21)“Was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works…?” (v 25)“You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone” (v 24)I’ve literally seen some people sweep these under the rug, acting like they don’t e...
2023-09-2109 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyMust You "Die to Self" Every Day?The concept of “dying to self” is a widely embraced belief in Christianity, suggesting an internal struggle between good and evil within believers. This teaching emphasizes the importance of eliminating the “negative” part of you that otherwise needs to be overcome daily.However, it’s worth noting that the phrase “die to self” does not actually appear in the Bible. The closest resemblance can be found in Jesus’ words, urging followers to deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow Him. Nevertheless, this statement pertains to the call for salvation rather than providing instructions for daily living. (At salvation, you f...
2023-09-1411 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWhat Happens if You Backslide, Doubt, or Waver?When you go through seasons where God feels distant, you might think it’s because you did something wrong. A recent caller struggled with not sensing the Spirit and feared it was because she had backslid and wavered in her faith. She asked if doubting was apostasy and if she had lost her salvation.The good news for believers is the Spirit lives in you no matter what you feel. Your rightness with God isn’t based on the strength of your faith, how much time you spend in the Word, or whether you stumble or doubt.
2023-09-0710 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyDoes God Offer Guaranteed Healing?A popular religious teaching claims that if you have enough faith and believe hard enough, you’ll experience physical healing. It’s based on a belief that God’s will is for everyone to be healed.This teaching left a recent caller feeling at fault for not trusting God enough with her cancer diagnosis. Thankfully, she sensed something was off in her pastor’s guilt-inducing message.Whether it’s “name it and claim it,” trust more, or activate more faith, it’s a dead-end formula for healing, and it’s the last thing you need to hear when you’re s...
2023-08-3116 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyHow Do You Balance Grace and Obedience?Believers are saved by grace, but we’re also taught that pleasing God means walking in obedience. This might leave us wondering how to balance grace and obedience, or as a recent caller asked, where’s the “fine line” between the two?I loved this call, because it points to a more all-encompassing question: How can you live each day inspired by God’s grace?The answer starts with realizing true obedience is not about cranking out good behavior but about your motivation and focus along the way. Remember, without faith, it’s impossible to please God!
2023-08-2410 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyIs It a Sin Not to Tithe?Tithing is a common practice in many churches, but some leaders turn up the pressure by teaching we gain favor with God through our giving. Some even say you’re robbing God and committing a sin if you don’t tithe. A recent caller was struggling with guilt for not tithing to her church and asked if she was a thief who was stealing from the Lord, as her pastor suggested. So, is it a sin not to tithe? Actually, it’s a sin to tithe if we are giving from a law-based motivation rather than giving...
2023-08-1708 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyHow to Forgive When You’ve Been WrongedWhen we’ve been hurt or wronged by others, certain emotions are only natural. And the more we dwell on these offenses, the more we may gravitate toward the thought of revenge. This was the case for a recent caller who asked for help.The healthy solution when someone hurts you is to forgive them, but that sometimes feels easier said than done, especially when they’re unwilling to acknowledge the damage they’ve inflicted on you.In this episode, I share what forgiving others looks like because of your new heart. You might be surprised that i...

2023-08-0310 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyAre You Among the Chosen?Does God pre-pick who can know Him, or do we get to truly choose Him? Beliefs about fate, free will, and predestination are key components of Calvinism. A recent caller asked if these matters make Calvinism a different gospel.I spent a couple of decades of my life believing aspects of Calvinism were correct. And while it affirms many core truths of the Gospel, I share the major problem with its view of salvation in this episode.I also address another misunderstanding that Calvinists and many religious groups today have about a Christian’s nature. My ta...
2023-07-2708 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyHave You Blasphemed the Holy Spirit?In Matthew 12, Jesus describes the unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Unforgivable? That’s a scary thought, especially if you’re unsure what blasphemy means. Is it profane thoughts, speech, or actions? Can you do it unintentionally?Blasphemy is a serious topic, but the good news is it’s a sin a believer cannot commit!As I share with a caller in this episode, you have nothing to fear if you’ve called upon Jesus for salvation. You’re safe and secure, your forgiveness endures forever, and God is not threatened by anything you say or do...
2023-07-2007 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWhat’s God’s Purpose for Your Life?Many of us were taught we have a unique purpose in life and that glorifying God means we need to find out exactly what He has planned for us. Often, we think this unique purpose is connected to our employment. As a result, we can spend years jumping from one thing to another, searching for deeper meaning in what we do.But there’s a shortcut to uncovering your purpose. And as I share with a caller in this video clip, it’s simple and straightforward no matter what job, relationship, or season of life you might find your...
2023-07-1305 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyCan Divorced Christians Serve in the Church?The church often treats divorced people as the black sheep in God’s family. Some are even told that God can’t use you in ministry if you’ve been married before. But does Scripture support that? This was Brenda’s question, a recent caller to the program.While largely overlooked in Christian discussions about divorce, 1 Corinthian 7 is an eye-opening passage for answering if marital status is a qualifier to be used by God.In this episode, you’ll be encouraged that no matter what you’ve done or not done in your past, Christ has made you bla...
2023-07-0607 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyDon't Water Down the Sermon on the Mount!Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount is often viewed as a sweet passage for Christian growth. Do good to others, turn the other cheek, and pray for your enemies.But this famous passage also includes instructions to cut off body parts, give money to anyone asking, and be perfect like God. Is Jesus speaking literally, or is He just saying to live better and be nicer?In this episode, I share with a caller why we cannot water down the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a message threatening punishment and death! Thankfully, you’ll see...

So, which one is it?In this episode, I share what we can really expect at the final judgment. It’s a serious matter, and no one is exempt from deciding about the Gospel. But you’ll learn why believers can relax and look...

2023-06-0807 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyNo Daily Confession Needed!If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9 NASB)Any good Bible teacher knows that context is everything. Yet many Christians remain confused about 1 John 1:9, believing an ongoing cleansing ritual is needed to be forgiven and cleansed by God.It’s shocking that the religious world continues to perpetuate this doctrine, teaching believers that the blood of Jesus is less effective than the Old Testament blood of bulls and goats.In this episode, I explain the proper co...
2023-06-0110 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWhat Does it Mean to Fear God?The Bible says to fear God and that we should work out our salvation with fear and trembling. Does this mean we should be afraid of God?While He is King of Kings and Lord of everything, God is not the author of fear. His perfect love casts out fear, including fear of any punishment.In this episode, I share what fear means when it comes to a believer and their relationship with God. You’ll find assurance and confidence that you’re at peace with Him, there’s no looming judgment, and you’re safe and secu...

2023-05-0406 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyWill Some Believers Be Told, "Depart from Me"?Jesus says He’ll tell some to depart from Him at the final judgment, because He never knew them. Who exactly is Jesus referring to? Are these people who didn’t do enough? Could this include believers who then lose their salvation? These were the questions of a recent caller to the broadcast.Whether or not we can lose our salvation is one of the most frequent questions I receive. In this short video clip, I share who Jesus is referring to and address whether our quantity of works influences His decision to keep us in the family.

2023-03-0911 minGood Call with Andrew FarleyDoes Healing Take Place Today?The Christian airwaves are inundated with misleading teaching on the topic of healing. Some suggest we should “name” or “claim” healing from God. Others misuse Bible verses like, “…by His stripes we are healed,” to declare physical healing is a right for believers. God certainly can and still does heal today. But we believers shouldn’t be barking orders at God (such a message is an enemy of the Cross!). Instead, we can learn to live open-handed, recognizing the wisdom and care of our God.For anyone suffering from a physical ailment, check out this episode and learn where...
