If you have read ahead in Romans 5 to the verses we will study this week, you probably noticed that there is a significant difference between verses 12-21 and verses 1-11. A few years back, the deacon body set out to memorize Romans 5. The first eleven verses were no problem. The last nine were incredibly difficult, not just to memorize, but also to understand. I even had the thought this week tha...

In our “big event” culture, Christmas is always the biggest annual event of all. We plan for it, prepare for it and celebrate it for over a month, and it doesn’t even matter if we are believers or not. When it comes to Christmas, we all want the same thing. We want Christmas to be perfect. We have this hope that everyone will get along. We want perfect decorations, we want to give (and get) the pe...

The birth of Christ occurred under the noses of and in the presence of many people, and yet so many of those people missed it. The innkeeper missed it. The incarnation and birth of the Son of God, one of the most significant events in salvation history, occurred near or even on his own property, and yet he missed it. Maybe he was too busy with travelers or too concerned with the stuff of earth, an...

In 1987, a little girl named Jessica McClure fell down an abandoned well shaft. The shaft was eight inches in diameter and twenty two feet deep. She was lost to her parents with no way to get her out. Her rescue became the focus of the little town of Midland, TX. For 15 hours, men dug and drilled. The limestone around the shaft made her rescue incredibly difficult and almost impossible. At the end...

Over the years, there have been some incredibly effective ad campaigns used to market products. One such campaign was run by the credit card company, American Express, from 1987-1996. Their slogan was “membership has its privileges.” It was widely recognized by people as a way to live an elite lifestyle, and it was very effective in helping to contribute to the debt of those who enjoyed living abo...

After Faith and I got married, we lived in student housing on the campus of Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. The small apartment was affordable, and Faith did a great job of making it home. The apartment had one downside. Just outside our apartment on the other side of a small fence was a set of train tracks with a crossing about a hundred yards away. Do you know how many times a train b...

Few disasters are more well-known than the sinking of the Titanic. The Titanic was an amazing marvel of human ingenuity and achievement created to make transatlantic ocean crossings between Southampton, England and New York City. But it had a major flaw. The quality of the steel and rivets was too weak and brittle to withstand contact with any of the icebergs floating in the Atlantic Ocean. A lot...

Much emphasis today has been placed on discovering your cultural heritage. Today, using your DNA with precise geographic detail and historical insights, you can connect yourself with the people and places in your genealogical past. In Romans 4, Paul traces our spiritual lineage. You might say that Romans 4 is Paul’s version of ancestry.com. Paul will demonstrate how Jews and Gentiles who place the...

Growing up, I went to a barbershop not far from the school where my dad worked. Once a month, my dad would give me $6 for my haircut. In the barber shop was a sign that read, “In God we trust, all others pay cash.” You couldn’t pay with a check. You couldn’t pay with a credit card. Cash was the only acceptable payment that the barber would accept. As we continue the study of Romans this week and l...

Our passage this weekend includes three words that are essential to understanding the gospel of Jesus Christ. They are theological terms that take us into three different realms of understanding and illustrate all that Christ accomplished for us in His life, death and resurrection, and they must be considered simultaneously. All three united together demonstrate, as we see in v.26, how God can be...

Our passage this week marks a significant transition in Paul’s outlining of the gospel. It has been said that this paragraph in Romans 3:21-24 is the most significant paragraph in all of God’s Word. No other passage more clearly outlines the righteousness of God and the salvation of man. It would take years to plumb the depths of the wonders of the biblical truths in this passage. My study of this...
