He decided beforehand when they should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. His purpose was for the nations to seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him—though he is not far from any one of us. For in him we live and move and exist. As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring.’" ACTS 17:26-28 NLT Listen to our theme song here...https://rss.com/podcasts/findingourway/2001173/

From the transcript...
In Ephesians 1 and 7, since we're now joined to Christ, we've been given the treasures of redemption by His blood—the total cancellation of our sins—all because of the cascading riches of His grace.
Okay, the total cancellation of sins. Sounds like John the Baptist: “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.” Well, you know John preached that, but do we really believe that? No. “Oh, you’ve go...
From the transcript...
Yeah, I was taught that He chose those whom He foreknew. He knew who was going to believe—that was His foreknowledge. Therefore, He chose those. I’m just telling you what I was taught.
I’ve heard that before. Yeah, that’s an Arminian view of it.
Yeah, it was a twisted Arminian view. But that’s so skewed.
Well, I’m just saying—the whole conversation was that it’s because of His grace, but you’ve got to choose it.
Y...
From the transcript...
It’s like—we read through all these translations. We started with the New King James, of course, and I was raised on the old King James. That language, and the discussions I heard about these verses, shaped a whole lot of my original belief system.
But as time has gone on, and I’ve studied and followed the Lord, I began to change what I was originally taught or believed about those things.
By the time we get to ...
From the transcript...
I got William Barclay. I like William Barclay. Barclay’s good. Barclay’s good.
Let me read it. I wasn’t going to, but—well, no, no, no, I got it. There was a reason I brought it. You’ve got to hear what he says.
Ephesians 1 (William Barclay Translation)
This is a letter from Paul, who became an apostle of Jesus Christ because God willed it so.
To God’s consecrated people in Ephesus, the loyal Christians in the Lor...
From the transcript...
We got a beautiful day. It’s nice and shady right here. So I want to read it out of the New King James.
Are you going to read more than one translation? Yeah.
But you’re going to start with the New King James? Yeah.
Okay. You want me to read one? Because that’s what everybody’s used to. Read them first 11 verses.
In the New King James? That’s what that is.
Oh, I thought you were going to read me to sleep. I get to ...
From the transcript...
I can remember when I was eight years old. I can remember going back—I don’t know if you remember Whisperer Pines Church—go back behind the baptististry, behind the choir loft back there, Sunday school. Step in that little hallway, that first room to the right.
Sitting in a chair there beside my mama, and Brother Leon was on his knees, squatting before me, talking to me about the Lord. I was wanting to get save...
In this episode Larry and James talk about the victory of Jesus in history.
From the transcript...
But the Lord orchestrated the events
of getting this book to print. The title of it
is Before Time, Our Origin in Christ. My good
friend Andrew Maui helped me put this together
and got me started down that road. And the Lord
just, boom, put it out there. even try it wasn't
even anything i was it was on my radar it's just
the lord decided he wa...

From the transcript...
I hope you're having a wonderful day. Enjoying
all that Papa has for you today. I wanted to

This is the first part of this month. I almost

57 years old. The rea...

In this episode Larry and James share various experiences and thoughts regarding validation.
From the transcript...
I'm just saying, there's the wide open spaces—fields of grace. Ooh, living in my Father's face. I'm telling you, son, mess around here and I'll get on pace with the Holy Ghost and say something.
Tapped into your poetic self.
Yeah, yeah. We'll be dancing.
Anyway, we can walk down through that psalm some more. Maybe that was...
In this episode Larry and James discuss the purpose of God and His goodness displayed.
From the transcript...
I was thinking about that passage you read earlier when Jesus was baptized. I don't even know what I can say about it, other than the Father, verbally to John the Baptist and those who could hear, said, This is my beloved Son, in whom—or in Him—I am well pleased.
That's Jesus’ beginning, and we always say “His ministry.” I don...
In this episode Larry and James talk about King Jesus.
From the transcript...
I think we're good. So you don't want that book?
What book?
That book.
No. I'm good. We are ready to go.
Do we have… What were we going to talk about?
Oh, I don't know. Oh, I was just going to say, I did… coming down, I… listened to that guy and talked to Ronnie. I ain't got nothing. I mean, we're going to start this day with zero from Larry. I normally, you kno...
In this episode Larry and James discuss ultimate reality and the life that is ours now.
From the transcript...
Yeah, think about it. I'm going to read these two verses. Remember I told you I was reading Ephesians when I wrote this. I'm going to read these two verses and you tell me what it says that we have to do so that we can somehow or another get in on that.
Every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realm has already been lavished ...
In this episode Larry and James talk about our now new relationship to God.
From the transcript...We’ve got a freedom in Christ. We don’t know what to do with our freedom. We’ll get a reset. We don’t know what to do with the reset. Everything I ever thought about how it was has been wrong. I’m having to relearn it all, and some of that’s been a slow wrangle. How do you operate without a hierarchy when all you’ve known is a hierarchy...
In this episode Larry and James discuss life in the kingdom of God.
From the transcript...Unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing away, their minds were hardened. For until this day, the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ, the law.
I see what you’re saying now. But even to this...
In this episode Larry and James talk about living life in the kingdom of God, NOW!
From the transcript...
I am fascinated by the number of things that come up in our mind when we do stuff like that. Contrary to what we're attempting to do, it seems to be all the reasons why you can't.
Oh, yeah. Which is adversarial thoughts. Mm-hmm. You can use that phrase. Yep. Yep.
When the truth is, everything that hinders us from living in health, ...
In this episode Larry and James discuss living life in relationship to our Father.
From the transcript...
Well, for me, when I even hear what's the metrics of relationship, I just stiffen and bristle.
Yeah, it's rules. Yeah. It's a law of language.
But I don't know how to have conversations that don't end up there or that doesn't use those terms. I guess that's what Jesus said. A good teacher, he brought out of his treasure things old ...
From the transcript...
Well, for me, when I even hear "what's the metrics of relationship," I just stiffen and bristle. Yeah, it's rules. Yeah. It’s a law kind of language.
But I don't know how to have conversations that don't end up there, or that don’t use those terms. I guess that's what Jesus said—a good teacher brings out of his treasure things old and new. I’ve got a lot of that old law language in me. I just don't have much ne...
From the transcript...
So, I grew up talking about this self-giving God.
Yeah. Eternally dead to the possibility of choosing anything other.
How do we learn to walk in that, to walk with Him?
Well, one, we're just now waking into the fact that that's who He really is.
And then two, we realize that we're made in that same image.
But because He's given us this agency of choice… yeah.
Am I going to always choose as He always chooses?
Yeah. Be...
In this episode Larry and James talk about the nature of love.
From the transcript...
Well, yeah, he was talking about, like, God's—primal self. Yeah, that's the way he said it. Here we go. Let's see. A self desires to please itself, to express itself, and so on. How does God, the primal self, do that?
Yeah. He says here—yeah, that's his words—by the begetting of his Son to be the object of his love. And the Son receiving and returnin...
