After reading Matthew 10, a passion for healing was born in him and after reading Mark 16 about two weeks after being saved, he received the speak in tongues. “It all came easily; it was just Grace and love from God. I was bold from the start and preached to the lost, to school friends, teachers, and to anyone who would listen... as well as to those who didn’t want to hear!”

Understanding ‘No Condemnation’ For What It Truly Is

By Bertie Brits

o understand this article you need to know that the Law is the power of sin and that sin, in the flesh, needs a catalyst to manifest which, in the case of Romans 7 and 8, is the Ten Commandments.

Romans 8:1 and 2 says: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Many of us use the words ‘condemnation’ and ‘guilt’ as synonyms 4 | 8x10 A Portrait of Grace | April 2014

and so we really miss the power of grace. Thinking that Romans 8:1 says “you don’t have to worry if you see the fruit of the flesh in your life” is a completely wrong understanding of the verse. Today, we are going to look at Romans 8:1 in a way that will empower you toward a new way of life. Romans 8:1 is one of the most well-known verses in the bible, yet one of the least understood verses. It has been used to manipulate people into church programs, or to get away with the ‘fruit of the flesh’ while trying not to feel bad about it (which is simply humanly impossible!) When you are in the flesh, you will definitely experience one of the most deadly and most powerful destructive forces known to man called ‘guilt’. Guilt should not be confused with condemnation. Condemnation in

Romans 8:1 is used as a legal term explaining that you will have a life resulting in death if you continue mistaking legalism for righteousness. When you live under the law, you are condemned to have your life destroyed. Guilt is an important factor in perpetuating symptoms of Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder. Guilt is a state in which one experiences conflict at having done something that one believes one should not have done. This is inescapable under the law. Guilt is an unconscious force within an individual that contributes to physical illness and many psychological disorders. I think the obstacle of an unconscious sense of guilt is the most powerful of all obstacles to overcome.

It would be IMPOSSIBLE to overcome outside of believing the true Romans 7:7-25 says: Gospel. It is humanly impossible to live without it when seeing the fruit of the flesh in your life, for it is a fruit of the flesh in itself. So, we can clearly see that guilt is something that can destroy our lives. What makes it worse is if the guilt is unconscious, written in deepest parts of your subconscious mind, and that is mostly where it resides. Guilt is the father to most people’s actions and choices in life. It is of utmost importance to understand that Romans 8:1 does NOT say that we shall not feel guilty when we live by the flesh (legalism) and see the fruit of the flesh (sins) in our lives. We will be condemned to a life of guilt when we SAY we are in grace and still live by the law unto the manifestation of the fruit of the flesh. God will not condemn you to guilt, but the law will. Grace, however, frees us from the power of sin in the flesh and the dictatorship of the law to a life where we are not forced to manifest sins against our will. Once under the law, the good you want to do, you cannot do, for you are condemned to a life of the fruit of the flesh. This is what Romans 7 is all about. When we live under the law, we find that sin is empowered and guilt will be magnified in the conscious and unconscious levels, steering us toward the destruction of our lives. This destruction can manifest in different forms; you will either fall deeper into getting your life right by willpower, or depression and rejection of God can even settle in.

in me that does it. So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin.

What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. Romans 8:1 and 2 should be read I found that the very commandin the context of Romans 7, which ment that was intended to bring clearly states that we shall not be life actually brought death. For sin, condemned to a life where the fruit seizing the opportunity afforded by of the flesh manifests to the point the commandment, deceived me, where we cannot do what we will, and through the commandment but what we don’t will. We should put me to death. So then, the law is not think that Romans 8 states that holy, and the commandment is holy, we can live by the law, see the fruit righteous and good. Did that which of the ministration of death (which is good, then, become death to me? is the law written on stones) maniBy no means! Nevertheless, in order fest the power of sin in us and think that sin might be recognized as it is a free pass. Guilt grabs you sin, it used what is good to bring and destroys you if you think along about my death, so that through the those lines, and freedom from the commandment sin might become fruit of the flesh shall not manifest. utterly sinful. We know that the Guilt is an emotion we feel when law is spiritual; but I am unspiribreaking the law, not something tual, sold as a slave to sin. I do not you decide to have, and it is packunderstand what I do. For what I aged into the law. want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not When we are under the law of life, want to do, I agree that the law is good.

God In Me An Interview with Christian Music Artist Allan Scott

“It’s always amazing to me what a 180o God can bring about in our lives at just the right time. Whatever our past, whatever our current circumstances, He is a good God and wants us to be on the right path so much that sometimes He just picks us up and puts us there. Christian Music Artist Allan Scott is just such an incredible example, and I had the good fortune to be able to ask him some questions recently. Let’s get to know him better together, and read his incredible testimony.” With Stephanie J. Salisbury

Stephanie Salisbury [SS]: I’ve heard you had a pretty rough childhood. Tell me a little bit about how that got started.

Allan Scott [AS]: was born on a naval base in Bremerton, Washington, in May of 1980. (So now I just dated myself, haha!) The guy who

my life was not my father. My younger brother and I were the result of an affair at the beginning of my mother’s marriage. house as far back as I can remember. When I was three, my mother led me to the Lord. That same year, my family moved from Washington to Pennsylvania. Fighting continued in our home until I was eight years old. At that time, my parents divorced. My stepfather (who I thought was my biological father until I was 23) had custody of my us, so my brother and I lived at his place. We would visit my mom on the weekends. My stepfather decided that he was going to move back across the country and take me with him. This was really tough for my mom, as you can imagine. I was at her apartment one weekend and I remember her telling me that I was never going to see my father again. I remember screaming and trying to get to the phone to call him (my stepfather). It was pretty traumatic for an 8 year old. I saw my stepfather one time after that, a year or so later.

SS: When did music come into the picture for you? AS: For the next couple of years, things were pretty peaceful in our house. There was no

lifestyle and, by the time I was seventeen, I had dropped out of high school and was in rehab. But, even in that low place, I still was not ready to surrender my life to the Lord.

my brother received a guitar as a gift. I took it from him and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t give it back, haha! So, he became a drummer. I began to play guitar and write songs for hours a day. I just loved it.

The man that my mother had married when I was twelve was eventually arrested and hauled out of my momâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house for a domestic abuse situation. When I got out of rehab, I lived at her house for a bit. I got wrapped up in the same lifestyle, but this time it was worse than ever. One night, I can remember stealing drugs and money from a drug dealer. I took someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s car, drove to a major

SS: What was the next piece of the puzzle for your family, and how did it affect your relationship with God? AS: When I was twelve years old, my mom remarried. It was a terrible marriage right from the start. It was around that time that I really began to run from God. My mom busted her butt so that we could go to Christian schools when I was younger. By the time I was thirteen or so, I started getting involved in drugs and alcohol. I eventually was expelled from my Christian school and went into the public school system. I got more and more involved in a destructive 8 | 8x10 A Portrait of Grace | April 2014

Texas. I smoked Crystal Meth for months, and used any other drugs I could get into my system. Eventually, I had nowhere to live, and was living the life of a thief, drug addict, and loser. I got really scared and eventually moved back to my hometown. I was able to keep my nose clean for a while but, eventually, I got wrapped up in the same lifestyle. My life continued to spiral further and further out of control. I had the

police constantly looking for me. I was a liar and a thief. If I knew you, I would steal from you. I dropped out of college. I was caught in a cycle of addiction that I could not get out of. Over time, I sold any musical equipment that I had to pay for my lifestyle. I was depressed, and felt that I would never amount to anything in my life. SS: How did you let God back into your life? AS: I remember one night being really intoxicated and depressed. I hit my knees and asked God to help me. Then I got up, forgot about my prayer and walked away. A couple of weeks later, “Jesus” (in the form of the local law enforcement) caught up with me and I went to jail. It was my 19th day in jail when I realized that God was answering my prayer. I remember thinking, “I don’t have to live like this anymore.” I began to get into the Word and go to Bible studies, and whatever else I could do. While still in jail, I began to hear songs and melodies in my head. I would write down lyrics for the tunes I heard and, when I was allowed

out of my jail cell once a day for recreation, I would work out the musical parts on an old beatup guitar that was in the prison rec room. SS: How did He turn your life around? AS: After a period of time in jail, I went to rehab. There was a counselor there who loved the Lord. He would take me to his church every Sunday. One Sunday, after the service, God really touched me. I stayed after the service and wept for quite some time. From that time on, God really began to do things in my life. October of 2001 was the last time that I had any drug or alcohol in my system. I began to write songs again and, eventually, began to travel and minister at different locations. In 2003, I met my beautiful wife, Jana. We were married in 2006 and have been married for seven years. God has totally restored everything that the enemy tried to take in my life and so much more! The biggest transformation in my life was around 2008. I had been walking with God for about 8x10 A Portrait of Grace | April 2014 |

seven years. I was leading worship at my home church and at other churches on a regular basis. minister and other Sundays, I would feel totally or bad I did in a week. I remember that my walk with God was always up and down. I call that ‘Bi-polar Christianity’ now! In my heart, I believed that God was totally relating to me on the basis of my performance (how much good or bad I did). I was so worn out and tired. I began to do a Bible study with a radio station programmer friend of mine. I remember this one week, we listened to a 2-hour sermon on the gift of righteousness. I got totally rocked, haha! For the had completely cleansed me once for all of all my sin: past, present, and future. I realized that Jesus became the curse that I deserved so that I would become totally blessed. I realized God was never going to be relating to me on the basis of my performance ever again! My life and ministry has been different ever since. That is all I write and share about. I want other people to experience the same kind of freedom that the true Gospel brings. It wasn’t until 2010 that my ministry really began to gain momentum. Since that point, God has surprised me in many ways! I am excited to walk with Him on this journey. I always feel like I am living on the edge, haha! SS: Where do you see yourself in a year? AS: More songwriting, touring, recording, speaking; sharing the Gospel of Grace any way that I can! The forums and venues may change, but communicating about God’s grace will always be the heart of what I want to do in my ministry. SS: What’s your favorite, or your ‘go-to’ verse, when you’re sharing the Message with others? AS: 2 Corinthians 5:21 -- “He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ.” The message is so simple and powerful: He became all of our sin (past, present, and future), and we received all of the blamelessness and righteousness that He deserved (and deserves). He became sin, we became righteous. SS: Tell me about the music and lyrics of “God In Me”. What’s your focus? What do you want people to take away from the experience? AS: Over the last twelve years, I have been amazed at how good and faithful God has been 10 | 8x10 A Portrait of Grace | April 2014

to me. His faithfulness has not been dependent upon my faithfulness. He has been faithful because that is who He is! I have caught myself thinking at times, “I could really mess this (my life) up.” If we are honest, I think we have all felt that way before. But God is constantly reminding me that although I may, and will, get it wrong, He always gets it right. He cannot fail. God cannot fail at anything He begins. And He has begun in us. He will not fail in us. He is able, He is faithful, and He will complete the work that He began in us! Knowing that the work is His to complete has really brought rest into my life. He has been so good to me. And not because of who I am. I don’t have a leg to stand on there! He has been good and faithful because that is just who He is. Not only that, but He IS victory. And He lives inside. We have victory living inside of us right now! With “God in Me”, I wanted to encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ. He is God for you. He is God in You. And He will not fail with you! You may fail, but He never will. Rest in Him and His ability. God is not relating to you on the basis of your performance. Jesus performed perfectly while He lived on this earth. On the cross, credit for His perfect obedience was transferred into your account. Jesus then took credit for all of your sin and failure. When God sees you, He sees the perfection of His perfect Son, Jesus. If your faith is in Christ, success. You are blameless, clean, favored, and loved. Rest in that. In His performance. In God’s ability to succeed in you. He will not fail you.

Go All In: A Look at Grace, Legalism, and the Tithe By: Lucas Miles

hat is in our heart its way to the surface. This is one of the greatest truths I have seen in recent years. Jesus said it this way in Luke 6:45 (KJV): “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.” In addition to the thousands of implications that this principle has on our relational and spiritual health, it also governs how we approach our Over the last few years, the grace community has become increasingly divided over the issue of tithing. On one side of the camp, any slight the church is condemned and, on the other, they see the tithe preceding the law and therefore not part of the old covenant; thus, it still remains in operation today. So, how can we make sense of tithes and offerings in light of the gospel of grace amongst all of the varied and, at times, violent opinions that exist today?

Let’s begin by breaking down two of the main passages of scripture regarding the tithe. Genesis 14 reference to giving ‘a tenth’ or what would later become known as ‘tithing’. In this account, the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah, along with three other kings, went to battle against four neighboring kings. The kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were defeated and their resources pillaged. Lot, Abram’s nephew, was also taken captive in the battle (this was prior to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah). When Abram received word that Lot had been taken as well, he called the 318 trained men in his household and went out to recover his nephew, as well as the resources of the other kings that were taken in the war. When Abram and his men returned victorious, they were met by Melchizedek, the king of Salem and a priest of 8x10 A Portrait of Grace | April 2014 |

God, who offered Abram bread and wine along with a blessing. In response to this, the Bible says, “Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.” After this, the king of Sodom approached Abram and asked that he give back the king’s people who were taken in battle, but that Abram should keep all of the plunder. In Genesis 14:22-24, Abram rejects the king’s offer, proclaiming, “With raised hand I have sworn an oath to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’ I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me -- to Aner, Eshkol and Mamre. Let them have their share.” As a result, Abram gave all of the people as well as the plunder to the other kings. When discussing this passage, many are quick to point out the fact that Abram gave a tenth of the plunder to Melchizedek. Rarely do I hear anyone mention that Abram also donated the other 90% of the spoils to the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah, and to the other three kings. If we really desire to model the generosity of Abram, we should give a tenth of our wealth to the church and the other ninety percent to Vegas. I believe it’s important that we recognize that Abram gave it all – not a portion and certainly not just a tenth. So, yes, I believe it is 12 | 8x10 A Portrait of Grace | April 2014

a mistake to use this passage to justify continuing to live under the tenth, but it’s also equally off the mark to use this text to justify a lack of generosity, something that I see so prevalently within many in the grace community. Abram knew, without a doubt, that God was his source and, as a result, he had no reason to be tightMalachi 3 Malachi 3 is perhaps one of the most widely-used passages to support the tithe, and many are haunted by the fear of being “cursed with a curse” by failing to give their full payment. Some who have read this passage might be surprised that the book of Malachi is referring to offering Christ as our source of righteousness rather than merely giving, or Consider Malachi 1:9-14:9 “Now plead with God to be gracious to us. With such offerings from your hands, will he accept you?”says the Lord Almighty. 10 “Oh, that one of you would shut the temple doors, so that you would not I am not pleased with you,” says the Lord Almighty, “and I will accept no offering from your hands. 11 My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to me, because my name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord Almighty. 12 “But you profane it by saying, ‘The Lord’s table

contemptible.’ 13 And you say, ‘What a burden!’ and you sniff at it contemptuously,” says the Lord Almighty. “When you bring injured, lame or diseased animals and offer them as from your hands?” says the Lord. 14 “Cursed is the cheat who has an acceptable male animal to the Lord. For I am a great king,” says the Lord Almighty, “and my name is to be feared among the nations.” For decades, this passage has been used by traveling missionaries to urge their donors to give new items instead of worn-out used clothing, toys, and other resources and, although giving quality gifts is a great practice, this is by no means the intent of the passage. In this passage, God was speaking through the prophet Malachi, addressing those who were vowing to give a pure animal were substituting it with an injured or diseased animal instead. As it says in verse 14, “Cursed is the cheat who has and vows to give it, but then to the Lord.” The truth of the matter is that we all have an and his name is Jesus. What Malachi is actually speaking to is the offering of ourselves, and our efforts, rather than the person of Jesus Christ as our righteousness. Jesus is our perfect lamb, fully available to us, and to offer anything less

is completely unacceptable to the Lord. Through this lens, we can now understand why those who failed to offer Jesus – the full tithe – as their righteousness would be “cursed with a curse”, for as Acts 4:12 says, “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” The Intention of the Heart I have received dozens, if not hundreds, of emails over the last few years asking me to give my opinions on whether or not the tithe should still be considered in operation today under the New Covenant. Although my opinion, from my own personal study of the Bible, is that the tithe is part of the Law of Moses (Abram offered a tenth one time only and never do we see him repeat such a gift), I truly believe it doesn’t help anyone by making blanket statements connecting legalism to tithing. Unfortunately, not all teachers of radical grace agree with me on this, and use their platforms to accuse graceoriented believers of legalism for using the word “tithe” in any shape or form. The result is an unnecessary separation of (mostly) like-minded believers and only serves to further subdivide the message and slow its momentum. Instead, I believe that we need to realize that the issue of legalism does not lie in the semantics used, but rather in the intention of the heart. The irony is that many who use grace as judgment against those who preach the tithe have, in fact, made grace

a law in itself and are just as guilty of legalism as their brothers. Instead of semantics, we must focus on intention. Although it’s impossible for us to truly judge the condition of another man’s heart, I do believe that we can see clues that reveal to us their intentions. The Law of Generosity True grace breeds generosity. Although I agree that the tithe (the tenth) is an old covenant principle, generosity is not. Grace should empower us to give more than the law ever required. Unfortunately for many, rejection of the tithe under grace is merely an excuse to be stingy and to justify the lack of generosity in their hearts. The fact of the matter is that, as believers, the Spirit of God lives in us and His Spirit is abundantly generous! For us to live with a mindset of lack or to fail to utilize our resources for the kingdom actually requires us to live in complete opposition to the spirit in us and only further contributes to our position of lack. In this, we must keep in mind, money itself is neither good nor bad, it is only an agent to expose the condition of the heart. Proverbs 11:25 says, “A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.” This is the premise for true biblical generosity. When we give to the Kingdom -- not to “give to get” or to try to earn God’s favor, but truly out of a motivation of love -- we cannot

help but prosper. The reason is that a person with a genuinely generous heart activates faith in God’s provision and expects to have their needs met, not because of their works, but because they are the object of God’s affection. It’s Our Nature As New Covenant believers, generosity is our nature because it’s God’s nature. The Spirit of God in us embodies generosity (see Matthew 7:11, Psalm 65:9-13, John 1:16, and Ephesians 1:3). In fact, as Christians, for us to live anything less than a life marked by abundant and freethe action of the Spirit of God in our hearts. Consider Paul’s encouragement in 2 Corinthians 9:10-11: “Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” Practically speaking, this means that when we feel compelled to give, we can trust that God’s provision is behind this desire and fully present to provide increase and grace into our lives so we can do it again and again! So don’t be afraid: follow your true heart and go all in!
