An Outsider's Guide to the Gospel Aug 26, 2014

by Mick Mooney

( 42 )

$6.99

When Jesus turned up to start his public ministry, he did things differently. He didn’t schmooze with the politically connected and wealthy, nor did he get cozy with the ruling religious class in the hope of gaining support and influence. He didn’t obsess over his own imagine in the hope of presenting himself as picture-perfect, with picture-perfect followers and admirers. Instead, he identified with those with no image in the eyes of the ruling class. He picked a bunch of teenagers and a few young men from the poorest, most mocked part of the country, and even threw in a tax collector, one of the many tax collectors who were despised by the whole nation.

He openly befriended women, even the most despised in the eyes of his own nation, Samaritan women, and prostitutes of ill repute. He drank alcohol liberally with those society looked down upon, much too liberally for the religious folks of the day, causing him to be branded a 'glutton and a drunkard'.

He publicly exalted the women who followed him, at times pointing out how they understood the truth about God while both the Pharisees and his own male disciples failed to grasp the reality of his ministry and the true character of God.

But he did more than just identify with those whom society so easily cast into its shadows. He came to stand up to all the religious bullies standing behind their pulpits and holy robes, obsessed with twisting the God of love into some kind of split-personality mental case.

He went on record, talking openly while making his claims, that God does not consider it acceptable behavior for anyone to harass, suppress and abuse people because they hold a position inside a religious institution or have some kind of religious title before their name.

He came to be a light for all who were living in the darkness of the abusive and manipulative tactics of those in powerful positions in religious institutions. To the everyday person, he offered: “Come walk with me, for my way is easy, and what I give you is light.” But to the religious leaders he declared: “And you self-appointed gurus in the Bible, woe to you, because while you load people down with burdens and responsibilities they can barely carry, you yourselves are not willing to lift a finger to help them!”

The only thing that got Jesus mad, from what we see in the account of his ministry, is thinking one can judge and condemn others and place a heavy burden upon them due to a belief that they are some kind of divine mediator for God on earth.

In the gospel accounts we see that Jesus' finger was not pointed at those with moral sins. The only time Jesus pointed his finger in judgment was when it was pointed at the religious, hardened in heart by their pious pride, who made it their self-appointed duty to look down upon, correct and condemn others.

In every way, Jesus went against the grain of the strongly established social, cultural and religious prejudices. And in doing so he broke this awful yoke off the neck of all who wanted to be set free from it. The yoke of the social, cultural and religious falsehood that measures people unjustly, that pushes people down, that keeps rank, that keeps count. That separates. That rejects. That oppresses. That disqualifies.

He consistently stood on the side of those society looked down upon, and lifted them up. Time and time again he showed those who were exalted in society―by wealth, title, sex, or nationality―that the very people they pitied were in fact greatly blessed. Yes, blessed, for while they may have been looked down upon by men, they were not looked down upon by God. Rather, they were as equal as everyone else in God's eyes.

God's Grace Apart From Law: A Biblical Explanation On Living A Victorious Christian Life By Grace Alone Dec 12, 2011

by Mick Mooney

( 57 )

$9.99

'God's Grace Apart From Law' is an easy to read, conversational journey through the first three chapters of Paul's letter to the Roman church. If you want to gain a better understanding of how the New Covenant functions and how to correctly understand the relationship between God's grace and God's law, then this book will help you greatly.

***
"Mooney presents us with yet another reason he is such a gift to today's church. This book exposes the fraud of self-made righteousness and invites us to the joys of truly knowing our perfect standing in Jesus Christ. So if you want to more fully celebrate God's grace, read this book and find your heart overflowing with gratefulness to your Jesus."

Dr. Andrew Farley
Bestselling author of "The Naked Gospel" and "God Without Religion"
***

Paul's letter to the Roman Church is, in a nutshell, a testimony of God's grace: the Gospel of God. It brings into focus not only the correct way to understand the New Covenant reality of grace, but also, perhaps more significantly, the correct way to understand the Old Covenant of law. The importance of this clarification cannot be understated. In fact, it was the dominant theme Paul continued to clarify to the church throughout his entire known ministry. To Paul, the Christian life was lived through the profound reality of grace.

The New Covenant is the awakening of God's divine way of the Spirit, established at its appointed time through the finished work of his Son. Paul was convinced of this new era of grace, and, in a way that perhaps only Paul could do, he explained how all things found their reality in grace and how all things are achieved through the power of grace. Grace was not merely a nice word to Paul; it was the very nature of God. It was to Paul, and remains true for every generation, the all-encompassing power of the Almighty.

If you have ever wondered how it can really be possible for a Christian to live their life of faith by grace alone, without the need or requirement of the Old Covenant law, then 'God's Grace Apart From Law' will be of a great help to you. It is a clear, in-depth, biblical explanation. Based on the first three chapters of the Apostle Paul's letter to the Romans, it goes into great details to help you understand Paul's heart and motives for writing the letter, and how his message of 'grace alone' is just as important in today's church to grasp and live by as it was in the days of the early church.

"God's Grace Apart From Law: A Biblical Explanation On Living A Victorious Christian Life By Grace Alone" is a must read for anyone interested in further understanding and living in the radical truth of the New Covenant.

Look! The finished work of Jesus: A Message Of God's Radical Love For You Aug 17, 2010

by Mick Mooney, Steve McVey

( 61 )

$9.95

Many books have been written about Jesus Christ that inspire us to want to know him more intimately. While that’s an admirable goal for an author, the book you are about to read does something greater. 'Look! The Finished Work of Jesus' doesn’t just cause the reader to hunger to know him more; it fills that very hunger by presenting Jesus in such a way that you actually sense his loving embrace as you read the book.

As I read this book, I found myself delighting again and again in some of the things Mick Mooney has written here. While this book will certainly teach you, it does more than that; it will touch you with a personal awareness of divine agape being expressed to you even as you read. More than once I felt as if my Father’s arms were holding me close while his voice whispered of his love to me through these chapters.

Religion complicates and confuses people by its demands and harsh scrutiny of our behaviour. The grace of God stands in stark contrast to religion by assuring us that because of the finished work of Jesus, we are not only in good standing with God but are actually cherished by him. Grace frees us from trying to prove anything to him, to others or even to ourselves. Mick has a firm grasp on that reality and writes in a way that causes others to understand it too.

The religious climate of the world today promotes the idea that we need to do certain things to earn God’s blessings and to make spiritual progress. This is a book that is counter-cultural to the world of legalism. It points us to Jesus Christ and causes us to see and really believe that what he has done on our behalf is indeed sufficient and that there is nothing left for us to do other than live out of the reality of his finished work.

I predict that 'Look! The Finished Work of Jesus' is going to be used by our Father to set many people free from the prison of religious performance and usher them into the rest that only comes by living in his grace.

What does it take to achieve our creative aspirations, and how do we bring to life the ideas and the stories deep within us? Milton Green had an answer to this very question: He just had to meet his muse. If he could only find his inspiration, then all Milton's greatness within would surely burst forth and he would finally write a prolific and critically acclaimed novel.

Well, as fate would have it, after an unexpected event (getting fired) and an impulsive reaction (getting drunk) Milton finds himself in an out of body experience to meet the very person he's been seeking: The Muse!

So what does the Mansion of the Muse look like? What wild and wonderful rooms does it contain? How many adventures and revelations can one have there? Milton discovers the answers to all these questions as he is taken on a tour by the Muse, from room to room, and along the way learns just what it means to not only find your inspiration, but to truly connect with it.

Meeting the Muse is a funny, thought provoking story that weaves a tale of how inspiration and perspiration work together to create art that makes a difference in the world and our own lives.
