Meet the Founder and President
of the Gospel Revolution.


Meet the
Communications Director of the Gospel Revolution.

"A man's ethical behavior should be based
effectually on sympathy, education, and social
ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would
indeed be in a poor way if he had to be
restrained by fear of punishment and hope of
reward after death." - Albert Einstein
"It is wonderful to be gracious,
but it is better to understand grace." Michael L. Williams
"Some Christians are more
offended by the idea of everyone going to heaven than by the
idea of everyone going to hell." Evolving In Monkey Town
"You can't keep walking if you dig in
your heals." Michael L. Williams
"Each
time a person stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the
lot of others...he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and
crossing each other from a million different centers of
energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can
sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and
resistance."
Robert F. Kennedy
"When words lose their meaning, people lose their freedom."
Confucius
"Expectation is the root of all
heartache." William Shakespeare
If I could have convinced more slaves that they were slaves,
I could have freed thousands more - Harriet Tubman.
The two worst addictions I ever had -
Cocaine and Religion! One took all my money, destroyed my
relationships, filled me with fear and paranoia, shut down
my ability to hear from God, and the other was a white
powdery substance. - Beres Bartlett
"There will be a day when humanity looks backs at religion
the same way sane people now view slavery, treating women as
chattel or gay people as being mentally ill or sinful. And
they will ask, "What were they thinking?" And the answer
will be that the religious were still eating from the Tree
of the Knowledge of
Good
and Evil
instead of drinking from the
River
of Life."
- Glenn Klein

For to us a
child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will
be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful
Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no
end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom,
establishing it with justice and righteousness from that
time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will
accomplish this. Isaiah 9:6-7
-Note how
definitive Isaiah's prophecy is regarding the confidence he
has in the Lord to get the job done, without the help of any
humans, and without the need of ANY human to believe that
the Lord is actually doing this. No one "must
believe" in order to make this be true and no one
"makes" Jesus Lord except for God Almighty
Himself!

Everything Happens for a Reason
Dear Family,
“Everything
happens for a
reason.”
Really?!
"Everything
happens for a
reason" has got
to be one of the
most incorrect,
mentally lazy,
spiritually
vapid statements
on Planet Earth.
It is, however,
admittedly a
creative way to
organize the
mess of our
lives mentally
and emotionally
after the fact
of what we
credit for
happening for a
reason.
Perhaps I should
have massaged
that statement
and eased into
it a little bit
before "letting
it off the
table" for your
consideration.
Nonetheless, let
me elaborate.
To believe or be
persuaded that
everything
happens for a
reason is akin
to turning the
wheel of a ship
over to the
“Ghost of
Christmas Past”,
pulling
the rudder out
of the water,
and replacing it
with Ramen
noodles. It’s
just that
nonsensical.
Of course, it is
perfectly normal
and human to
search for a
reason that
things happen in
and to our
lives. That is
reasonable and
rational.
However, the
only real
reasons for
accidents in
life are
carelessness and
happenstance.
Birth defects
are a
genetically
explainable
tragedy. It may
have been from
drug use or the
result from a
mother falling,
etc. Who knows
why? We may
never know what
caused it. But
it did not
happen for a
reason. Most
things that
happen can be
explained.
Still,
everything does
NOT happen for A
reason!
Experiences in
life can carry a
stern warning or
a “wake-up
call”, but just
because we can
connect some
dots or learn
something in the
process does not
merit the
situation to
have to take-on
the “spiritual
voodoo
hyperbole" of
"it happened for
a reason."
Here’s how
Merriam-Webster
defines the word
reason:
1a
:
a statement
offered in
explanation or
justification
<gave
reasons
that were quite
satisfactory>
b
:
a rational
ground or motive
<a good
reason
to act soon>
c
:
a sufficient
ground of
explanation or
of logical
defense;
especially
:
something (as a
principle or
law) that
supports a
conclusion or
explains a fact
<the
reasons
behind her
client's action>
d
:
the thing that
makes some fact
intelligible
:
cause
<the
reason
for earthquakes>
<the real
reason
why he wanted me
to stay — Graham
Greene>
2a
(1)
:
the power of
comprehending,
inferring, or
thinking
especially in
orderly rational
ways
:
intelligence
(2)
:
proper exercise
of the mind
(3)
:
sanity
b
:
the sum of the
intellectual
powers.
The only
connection in
all of that that
is applicable to
“everything
happens for a
reason” is: "A
statement
offered in
justification."
The need to
justify every
event in our
lives as meaning
something big or
spiritual is
rooted in the
lack of
comprehension
about the
justification we
received in
Christ over 2000
years ago. The
more we
understand true
spiritual
justification,
the less we need
to spiritualize
and justify the
events of our
daily lives in
this New World
of God's Oneness
and Christ’s
Finished Work.
To every degree
one
spiritualizes
daily life, with
distorted views
such as
"everything
happens for a
reason" is to
the degree that
we are failing
to acknowledge
our true
spiritual
identity. And
when we do that,
the last way to
describe the
mental
disposition that
arises from that
would be
logical, vital,
and rational.
“Beyond Chance”
Even though the
statement, what
happened is
“beyond chance”
is not as broad
a brush as
"everything
happens for a
reason", “beyond
chance” is at
least its
kissing-cousin
for revealing a
vacuum of
spiritual
vapidity.
Years ago there
was a TV show
called “Beyond
Chance”. It had
these wonderful
stories. Things
like a child
born to a mother
in Germany
fathered by a
service man from
the United
States who never
knew his real
father. Twenty
years later the
now grown man
moved to the
U.S., gets a
job, works for a
man 10 years
only to find out
that his boss is
his father!
Now I loved that
show. The
stories were
wonderful and
even fanciful.
But were they
“beyond chance”?
NOTHING is
beyond chance!
“Miracles”
During the time
I was
entertaining
these thoughts
about reason and
chance I was
living in
Fredericksburg,
Virginia. Down
the three
flights of
my stairs took
me to the
sidewalk out on
Hanover Street.
I lived three
blocks from
Martha
Washington's
house! For me,
it was
historical
heaven. But it
was not “beyond
chance”. I was
living in
Virginia. And
where had Martha
and George
lived? Virginia!
One time fifteen
minutes after a
summer rain I
decided to go to
the gym which
was four blocks
away. As I
stepped onto the
tree-lined
historical
street, a drop
of water hit the
bridge of my
nose and ran
instantly to its
tip. Immediately
I began thinking
what is the
chance of that
happening? Where
did that drop of
water come from?
(This is how my
brain works!)
Most likely that
drop of moisture
emanated from
the Pacific
Ocean or the
Gulf of Mexico.
But really, who
knows where it
came from.
Wherever it
started, it was
carried for many
miles in the
clouds and fell
over
Fredericksburg.
It then fell on
the tree on the
street outside
my apartment.
Then from leaf
to leaf like a
game of “Plinko”
from the TV game
show "The Price
is Right",
“miraculously”
it hit my nose
just as I
stepped out of
my door at
exactly the
right time!
A miracle?
Everything
happens for a
reason? Beyond
chance? I think
not. In fact, I
KNOW not!
In the Old
World, the World
and Covenant
before the Cross
of Christ,
everything was
miraculous!
Everything
happened for a
reason! The
birth of Jesus,
a perfect
example, was
beyond chance!
His mother was a
virgin, for
God’s sake. God
was manipulating
and
predestinating
EVERYTHING!
However, that
world’s economy
(or the way God
transacted
business with
the human race)
produced THIS
world. That
world was a
dictatorship.
God dictated
everything to
the Earth. That
would give way
to this New
World, a world
of freedom—for
it was for
freedom that
Christ set us
free. This
world, and our
way of
understanding
and articulating
it, should be
affirming that
the previous
world was indeed
real! And
because of that
one, dominated
by God doing
miracles, doing
things for a
reason
(ultimately for
THE
reason—Christ
Himself), and
doing things
beyond chance,
that world’s
completion is
the reason we
are now FREE!
We now live in a
FREE WORLD, a
world of perfect
equality.
Nothing is
predestined
anymore for
anyone. We
wouldn’t be free
or equal if God
was doing
certain things
“for a reason”
for some or even
for one and not
for others.
Once again we
have discovered
that there is a
true line drawn
between the
miraculous and
non-miraculous,
between chance
and beyond
chance, between
reason and
everything
happens for a
reason. And it
is not a
“fine-line”. It
was a massive,
huge, earthquake
causing
fault-line! As
with all things
revealed in the
Scriptures
(Scriptures
defined by
Christ as the
Law, the Psalms,
and the Prophets
only) that line
drawn was at the
Cross forever!
You might ask,
“Okay, Mike
Williams, you’re
telling me
everything is
left to chance?”
YES! Chance! The
great equalizer!
A World of
Chance is the
ONLY world God
could free us
all into without
us continuing in
a mindset and
economy of
"blessing and
cursing". One
can increase
ones chances to
the positive or
negative.
However, if you
are waiting to
be "blessed,
chosen, or get
your request
answered", you
just might miss
out on the
chance of a
lifetime!
Much Love,
Michael

Listen Now on the
2012 Podcasts
In this
Gospel Revolution podcast,
Mike Williams and Glenn Klein
discussed many topics. We were
especially graced by a call from
Richard Mull of Garden Grove,
CA. Richard talked about the
fact that he's looking forward
to the coming weekend in
Calgary, AB for the upcoming
conference. Richard's condition
came up in the conversation
because he is dealing with 4
different cancers, some of which
are in stage 4. Richard was
asked why his outlook and
stamina was so good considering
his health status. He said the
freedom of the Gospel gives him
an outlook far beyond the
cancer. We also want to thank
Vic d'Obrenan of Calgary, AB -
Canada, who is our host this
upcoming weekend at the
conference in Calgary. Vic
thanked Mike for connecting many
Christian anchor verses, such as
John 3:16 with their actual
scriptural meaning from the
scriptures in the Prophets in
the Old Testament. This podcast
ended with a discussion about
prayer, but also with an
understanding or clarification
that this Gospel is not a
dictate to do or not do, be or
not be, act or not act other
than to follow your own
heart...pray if that's where
your heart leads you as well as
speak in tongues, go to
church...follow your heart.
These are not Gospel issues! To listen to
this podcast, please go to
Honor Killings.

the gospel |
The word "gospel"
literally means something. You wouldn't know it by looking up
the word in the dictionary. Webster's has it defined strictly in
its modern day cultural and historical context. And you
definitely wouldn't
know it by most religious doctrines, either. They often are so divisive,
intolerant, and downright hateful. But, thankfully, we
have a resource for a more intimate portrayal of the real
meaning of the word gospel, the inspired messages contained in
the Bible.
Simply stated, the gospel means
in the original language "good news". And there are
only two varieties of this gospel: grace and peace.
There is no bad news in the good
news!
And here's the good news. God loves all men and women the
same. We believe ALL human beings are righteous in the
sight of God, because, amazingly, somehow God chose to redeem
all people by the sacrificial life and death of Jesus of
Nazareth. This is foreshadowed and predicted in the ancient
Hebrew writings and eventually revealed in much of what is known
as the New Testament by the recorded words of Jesus, Paul the
apostle, and many others.
Universalism?
Like Universalism,
the Gospel declares the reconciliation of man unto Himself.
However, the Gospel is not Universalist because it is the Good
News that He already reconciled all of humanity universally to
Himself in the Lord Jesus Christ through the work of the cross;
not some way, some how in the future.
Preterism?
Like Preterism, the Gospel declares all prophecy is fulfilled, but, again, the
Gospel is not Preterist. The Gospel declares that all Scripture - the Law, the
Psalms and the Prophets, as defined by Jesus Himself - was fulfilled at the
cross where Jesus said, "It is finished!" and not in 70 AD.
Christianity?
This is not Christianity; the
Bible never uses that word. However, this is
a Christianity-free Gospel!
What this is is people of all
faiths, backgrounds, and proclivities, being loved, redeemed,
reconciled, saved, heaven-bound, totally spiritually equal in
the eyes of the Creator. Together, we're learning more about
this good news. And reveling in it.
