This is not a passive faith, we are called to be involved in the life that God is calling us into, but He has also done the things that we could not have done. Not so we can be passive, but that we can join Him in the work. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, do...

Romans 6 has an uneven history of interpretation. Is Paul calling us to mystical union? Is he telling us to be stronger in our resolution to a sin-free life? Well yes, but not because that is how to live in this new life, that is all about what has been done for us by God through Jesus. Rather he is telling us that we have been made different. That we are new. Now...don't submit to, don'...

As Paul unfolds the Hebrew Shema in Romans 1-4: he talks about the Lord as one and so we are unified. Now in Romans 5 He moves onto loving the Lord with all our heart and all our soul and all our strength. To do that means that we must become the people He has purchased us to be. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives....

Paul gives us a recap of why we shouldn't be ashamed of the Gospel; a view of why this God of ours is the one who has always made a way for us when we could not; and why we often need to adjust our viewpoint so that we'd understand that our God is bigger than our grasp or understanding.

Do you have a personal copy of the Bible, two or three maybe? More. It is the most published book in history. We have a lot of access to it. The privileged of being entrusted, just as many before us, but do we understand the responsibility that kind of access carries?

We continue with the problem of the past in Romans and even though we have the word or the "10" Commandments we still have a past. When others who had the "10" brought someone to Jesus to condemn, the only one qualified to throw a stone didn't. So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazil...

The most incendiary text in Romans is often discounted because of what it says or used non-Biblically as a club of judgement. Neither is the response looked for by the author, who in dealing with the problems of our past needs us to understand that the Bible justifies God's actions in the world, not ours. We need rather, to look inside and pray for both our nation and God's hand of corre...

Paul brings forward three "I ams" in the text. I am under a great obligation. I am eager to share. I am not ashamed of the Gospel.

There is a platitude that we're told, "That God will not give us more than we can handle." Which when things seem to be more than we can handle shifts the onus from us to God.
