412. The Accusation of 'Hypergrace'
The term "hypergrace" has been used recently by some who apparently believe that grace is being taken to an extreme. We address a few of these concerns from an article in a popular Christian publication. The first thing that needs to be confronted here is the misunderstanding that legalistic religion has clung to and that is the belief that the New Covenant is a more perfect continuation of the Old Covenant. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, this line of thinking will point entirely in the wrong direction and will lead to many more misunderstandings regarding the gospel of grace.

411. Too Much Grace?
When you hear people talking about the dangers of "hypergrace" or too much grace, one has to ask the question: How much is too much? Think carefully about this. Imagine someone claiming to believe the gospel and yet warning that too much grace can be dangerous. You don't have to imagine very hard because we hear it from people on a regular basis. Our thoughts this week on why the abundance of grace we have in Christ isn't the problem, but is in fact the only solution.

398. The Bible Can Be Dangerous to Read If...
It's one of the oldest tricks in the book. Bible verses being taken out of context. Of course most don't even realize this is what they are doing. Sometimes when we read or memorize certain verses it can lead to tunnel vision, misunderstanding and confusion. Of course we'll often have different opinions on things from time to time but one of the reasons there are thousands of church denominations, doctrines and cults is due to a general misunderstanding of what the gospel is. And a leading cause of that is taking scripture out of context along with confusing the Old Covenant with the New and mixing them together into one.
As someone once told us: "The Bible can be one of the most dangerous books you'll ever read if you..." (Take a listen to the podcast for the conclusion to this suspenseful cliff hanger.)
