Gospel Zero: Reclaiming the Radical Message of Grace – Part 2
Did religion get the gospel completely backwards? Religion loves to make the Gospel complicated.

Is Your Religious Résumé Rubbish? You’ve been taught the formula: Work harder, do better, follow the rules… and you’ll be okay with God. But let’s get real – that’s not the Gospel.
