Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible

Romans 11:7-10 If clay begins to dry, it can become so hard that a potter cannot use it anymore. But if it has not completely hardened, the potter can add moisture and work with the clay until it becomes soft and usable. The human heart is naturally hard and hostile against God, but He alone is the master potter who can work in us to soften our hearts and use us for His glory. Find out more on Dr....

Romans 11:5-6 There is no such thing as a married bachelor. Marriage and singlehood are mutually exclusive and the man is either married or unmarried. According to the Bible, salvation by grace and salvation by works are mutually exclusive systems. You cannot have salvation by grace + works. It must be one or the other. Dr. Barnhouse asks, "Does your hope of salvation rest in God's grace alone?" o...

Romans 11:2-5 As he fled for his life from Jezebel, the prophet Elijah came to the place of utter despair. It seemed to him that the entire nation had turned away from God and that he alone had remained faithful, but God replied that he had reserved for Himself 7,000 men who had not bowed the knee to Baal. The Lord knows His own and He is able to preserve them by His power and grace. Dr. Donald Ba...

Romans 11:1 Years ago, the King of Prussia challenged his chaplain to prove that the Bible is the inspired Word of God. The chaplain replied with one word: "Israel." How do we see the hand of God in his dealings with Israel, and what promises to the nation are yet to be fulfilled? Dr. Barnhouse sheds light on this topic on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. 

Romans 10:20, 21 Centuries ago, the arms of Jesus Christ were stretched out upon a wooden cross as wicked men put him to death by crucifixion. Today the arms of our risen Lord stretch forth to offer grace and forgiveness to a race of wicked rebellious sinners. He is ready to receive all who flee into his outstretched arms and turn to him in repentance and faith. Dr. Barnhouse shares this wonderful...

Romans 10:19 Charlotte Elliott was a respected member of English higher society, but one day a minister told her, "Without Jesus Christ, you are just as lost as the worst prostitute in all of London." She later became a believer and wrote the famous hymn, "Just as I Am." No matter who you are or what you have done in your life, you can come to Jesus Christ just as you are and receive forgiveness o...

Romans 10:18 When did Christianity begin? Most people would probably say that Christianity began with the birth of Jesus Christ. But in Chapter 10 of Romans, the apostle Paul sets forth an astonishing truth: that the gospel had been known for hundreds of years before Christ. Today, hundreds of years after Christ, the good news of salvation continues to sound forth throughout the world. Tune in to...

Romans 10:17 The human ear has three tiny bells called the hammer, the anvil, and the stirrup. Each of them must function together in order for you to hear. Three essential spiritual elements must work in conjunction in order for you to be saved: faith, the Word of God, and the Holy Spirit. How do these work together to convert a lost sinner into a child of God? Dr. Barnhouse answers this question...

Romans 10:16 The gospel of Matthew records that Jesus was moved with compassion for the multitudes because they were weary and scattered like sheep with no shepherd. Believers should be filled with joy when others come to Christ, but we must also be filled with compassion for those that do not know him. Do you try to lead unbelievers to Jesus, the Good Shepherd? Listen as Dr. Barnhouse teaches fro...

Romans 10:14 As they spread the gospel far and wide, the apostles often walked for long distances on rough, dusty roads. Their feet would have been smelly, caked with dirt and covered with callouses. We would hardly consider this to be an appealing sight. But to the Lord, there is nothing so beautiful as the feet of those who bring the good news of Jesus Christ to those who need him. Tune in as Dr...

Romans 10:14 Jesus commanded his church to go into all the world, preach the gospel, and make disciples of the nations. We know this as the Great Commission. Sadly, the church has largely been guilty of a great omission in reaching the world for Christ. How can we recover a passion for proclaiming the gospel and building the kingdom of God throughout the world? Find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bi...

Romans 10:14 Years ago, AT&T used a popular advertising slogan: "Reach Out and Touch Someone." It is true you can brighten someone's day with an encouraging telephone call, but you can touch someone's life for eternity by reaching out to them with the good news of salvation. Today on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible, Dr. Barnhouse poses the question, "Are you committed to reaching lost sinners with...

Romans 10:13 You should call 911 if you are in danger and need to be rescued. But if you are in spiritual danger from eternal condemnation, you must call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible promises that everyone who will call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Have you called upon His mighty name for your salvation? Hear more about this important promise on Dr. Barnhouse and...

Romans 10:12, 13 Anyone can claim to be a Christian, but it is vital that you actually possess a relationship with Jesus Christ and not merely profess to have one. Our confession that Jesus Christ is Lord must be accompanied by our submission to Jesus Christ as Lord. Do you obediently follow Jesus Christ and acknowledge Him as Lord of all? Tune in to hear Dr. Barnhouse's message entitled, "Lord of...

Romans 10:11 A mother might tell a rude, unruly teenager, "You should be ashamed of yourself!" But we often say the same thing to ourselves when we consider our sinful deeds, words, and thoughts. There is an ungodly type of shame that finds its origin in human pride, but genuine, godly shame over our sin leads to repentance, salvation and spiritual growth. What valuable insights can the word of Go...

Romans 10: 9, 10 The zealous believer stopped a man on the street and asked, "Are you saved?" The startled man replied, "Saved from what?" We should not be surprised when unbelievers do not have a proper understanding of salvation, but we should be alarmed when Christians don't either. Tune in to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible as Dr. Barnhouse asks the question, "Do you truly understand what the Bibl...

Romans 10:10 We do not expect a young boy to support his family with a full time job, but we do expect this of his father. A grown man has greater responsibilities in society than his child, and much more is required of him. We have a greater responsibility before God than those who do not have access to the Word of God, Bible study materials, Christian radio, and faithful evangelical churches. Do...

Romans 10:9, 10 If a policeman or an FBI agent is working undercover, it is vital for him to keep his true identity a secret. But if you are a Christian, you must never try to keep your identity a secret. God wants us to boldly live out our faith as a testimony to a fallen, unbelieving world. Do you confess Jesus Christ before others, or do you try to live out your life as an undercover Christian?...

Romans 10:9, 10 The Philippian jailer fell down before Silas and the Apostle Paul and asked, "What must I do to be saved?" They replied, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved." Many people today ask the same question, and God's reply is the same as well. Have you responded to God's call like the Philippian jailer did and come to the Lord Jesus Christ in repentance and faith? Fin...

Romans 10:8 Countless lives changed when the apostles preached the gospel throughout the Roman empire. God has touched hearts throughout the centuries as his word has been proclaimed by brilliant orators in ornate cathedrals, the simplest of country preachers, and missionaries in far off lands. Has your life been transformed by hearing the Word of faith? Tune in to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to h...

Romans 10:5, 6 Those who claim to be faith healers and miracle workers attract many people who seek signs from God and manifestations of divine power. But true faith does not seek after signs and wonders. Biblical faith lays hold of the promises of God, rests and relies on the finished work of Jesus Christ, and responds with joyful obedience and service. Tune in to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to h...

Romans 10:4 When the words, "The End," appear on the movie screen, there is no doubt what this means -- the movie is over. But there's been much confusion and misrepresentation about the Scripture verse which states, "Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes." Stay tuned as Dr. Barnhouse shines biblical clarity and insight upon this difficult passage.

Romans 10:3 Jesus Christ was God in human flesh- the physical manifestation of God's perfect character and righteousness. The Old Testament told all about him and pointed to him as Israel's Messiah. Yet the Apostle John wrote, "He came unto his own and his own received him not." Why did the religious leaders and people of Israel reject Jesus and the righteousness of God that comes through faith? F...

Romans 10:2, 3 We sometimes say you can't compare apples and oranges. But this is what many people do when they talk about the righteousness of God. They believe it is merely an exalted, perfected form of human righteousness. But God's righteousness is of a completely different category altogether. How does the Bible differentiate human and divine righteousness? Find out from Dr. Barnhouse on Dr....

Romans 10:1, 2 What is your heart's desire? You might hear many different answers to this question such as a loving marriage, a happy family life, a larger home, or a big promotion or raise. But the Apostle Paul was so filled with the love of God that his heart's desire was for the people of Israel to turn to their Messiah and be saved. Does your heart long for the salvation of those that do not k...
