The Daily Blade: Joby Martin & Kyle Thompson

We trace Paul’s story from zealot to apostle and set the scene for Galatians 1. The core warning lands hard: salvation is by grace through faith, not “Jesus plus” our works, and real freedom only comes from the finished work of Christ.

• Paul’s background as Saul and his Damascus road conversion
• Why Paul’s authority comes from Jesus, not human approval
• The planting of the Galatian churches and early growth
• The rise of the Judaizers and the false gospel of “Jesus plus”
• Grace alone versus works-based righteousness
• Signs you may be drifting into legalism
• An invitation to study Galatians for deeper freedom

We draw a straight line from desire to design and from earthly echoes to a greater country, using C.S. Lewis and Scripture to steady courage and aim our loves. Hope of heaven becomes a plan for living: grateful, alert, and bold about Jesus.

• Mere Christianity on desire as signpost
• gratitude without idolatry toward earthly gifts
• the world’s hatred and the cost of allegiance
• citizens of heaven as present identity
• transformation promised in Christ
• practical ways to keep desire awake
• urgency to help others find hope

We trace a straight line from C.S. Lewis’s Mere Christianity to a practical call: choose holiness over niceness. Jesus’ claims demand obedience, fruit matters more than feelings, and love sometimes speaks hard truth to rescue people from sin.

• Lewis’s trilemma and the lordship claim
• Fruit as the public test of faith
• Why “nice guy” religion fails people
• Holiness as the believer’s true aim
• Obedience to Jesus over social approval
• Speaking truth with courage and care
• Hope in ongoing sanctification and final perfection

We press into C.S. Lewis’s famous trilemma and the claim of Jesus in John 10, challenging the safe label of “great moral teacher.” The call is simple and costly: if Jesus is Lord, stake your life on him.

• why “great moral teacher” fails when weighed against Jesus’ claims
• liar, lunatic, or Lord as the only coherent options
• John 10 and the unity of the Son with the Father
• why the crowd reached for stones and what that means
• abundant life defined as union with the Father, not prosperity
• moving from admiration to allegiance

We explore Lewis’s claim that Christ asks for everything and pair it with Jesus’s call to deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow him. We show why perfection is required, why we cannot achieve it, and how Christ’s righteousness becomes ours through surrender.

• the sword imagery and equipping men for spiritual battle
• why Mere Christianity still pierces modern assumptions
• the cost of perfection and the end of half measures
• Jesus’s call to deny self and carry the cross
• cultural self-worship contrasted with gospel surrender
• why perfection is required and unattainable by effort
• how Christ’s righteousness makes us right with God
• counting the cost and asking if Jesus is trustworthy
