On Law and Grace Today

Andrew — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 17:59:20 +0000

There are two ways to think about growing closer with God. Either our religion is by the Law or by grace. Where 99% of human religion across the spectrum glorifies ritual law, grace and truth came through Jesus.

Theology Thursday: Take Care With Biblical Prophecy

Andrew — Thu, 11 Dec 2025 17:44:24 +0000

We have a tendency to read too much into Scripture to confirm our own biases. We don't have to. The prophets were bold and clear.

Andrew — Thu, 04 Dec 2025 18:07:12 +0000

The prophets told us about Christmas for at least a millennium before Jesus was born. We should listen.

Andrew — Thu, 20 Nov 2025 15:34:16 +0000

Knowledge without faith is dead.

Text Driven Tuesday: Church is About True Family, Not Performances

Andrew — Tue, 18 Nov 2025 15:10:15 +0000

Last Sunday, I talked about what it means for us to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking the gathering of ourselves together.

Ministry Monday: The Fall of the Busy Bee

Andrew — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 16:39:46 +0000

We are all busy. There's always stuff to do. So much stuff that we forget about people. Maybe it's time to learn to cease.

Theology Thursday: Did God Know Adam Would Fall?

Andrew — Thu, 13 Nov 2025 15:35:59 +0000

If God knew Adam would fall and bring a curse upon the earth, why create Adam with such a capacity to sin?

Text Driven Tuesday: Church is About the Gospel, Not Our Agendas

Andrew — Tue, 11 Nov 2025 17:37:03 +0000

Today, Andrew continues through Hebrews 10 to show the response of the Christian to God's saving grace. Jesus provided all things to us in salvation. Therefore, we hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering.

Text Driven Tuesday: Church is Freeing, Not Burdensome

Andrew — Tue, 04 Nov 2025 18:04:02 +0000

Here, I continue through Hebrews 10, discovering that doing church is about freedom, not burden.

Theology Thursday: Blessing Abraham

Andrew — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 17:38:43 +0000

Scripture tells us plainly that those who bless Abraham will be blessed, and those who curse Abraham will be cursed. Does that mean univocal support of everything modern-day Israel does geo-politically?

Text Driven Tuesday: Church is Worship, Not Ritual

Andrew — Tue, 28 Oct 2025 17:11:22 +0000

This week, we see Hebrews 10:18-22 and learn that doing church is about worship, not ritual. We can't earn God. Our worship is a response to what God has already done. There is only one offering for sin. No worldly priests needed.

Ministry Monday: What is Family Worship?

Andrew — Mon, 27 Oct 2025 14:43:55 +0000

God has explicitly given Christian men the responsibility of dying for their wives and raising their children in the discipline and instruction of God.

Text Driven Tuesday: Dismount the High Horses, John 1:14-18

Andrew — Tue, 21 Oct 2025 04:00:00 +0000

John has introduced the Word, who was with God and was God in the beginning. I believe this is the word through whom God spoke creation into being. I believe it is the Voice of God that was walking in the Garden in Genesis 3. I believe it is the Word the prophets heard when they recorded the decree of God and Moses heard in the burning bush. I believe this Word, is Jesus. In John 1, we get to the pinnacle of history when this ancient Word became flesh.

Text Driven Tuesday: Ephesians 2

Andrew — Tue, 16 Sep 2025 04:00:00 +0000

God's love for us is truly unconditional, such that we cannot boast about coming to Him. We were dead. We could do nothing. Yet, God gave us life in Christ. Since He loves us unconditionally, we also love others unconditionally.

Ministry Monday: Stop Casting New Vision

Andrew — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 04:00:00 +0000

When we cast our own vision or try to get others to meet our goals, we've made our ministry about us rather than Christ. God has already given us His vision, and we can't do better than that.

Ministry Monday: Pastors as Helpers, not Heads

Andrew — Mon, 01 Sep 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Pastors are not popes. Jesus plainly taught that we are to be helpers, not heads; foundations, not fathers. Do not be called leader, for you only have one leader--Jesus.

Theology Thursday: Apologetics and Creation Part 1

Andrew — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Many people choose not to believe the Bible's historical account based on science, never mind that science can't observe history in a repeatable and demonstrable way--which isn't science anyway. Let's dig in.

Text Driven Tuesday: Ephesians 1

Andrew — Tue, 26 Aug 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Paul begins his address to the saints. At the foundation of his letter, there is one essential doctrine. People are sinners who cannot become righteous. We must be made righteous in Christ alone.

Introducing The New Andrew Paul Cannon Podcast

Andrew — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 19:39:17 +0000

It's not about me. It's about iron sharpening iron.

It's been a while since I've done any serious podcasting. I've been out of the game since I did Blacktop Pulpit and Unraveled with my good friend, Ken Duffy, in Southeast Arizona. Well, God's done some serious work in me since then.
