The Bible Says More

Send us Fan Mail The goal for believers in the body of Christ is unity — not uniformity. Those two things are not the same, and confusing them has created more division in the church than almost anything else. In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson continues through Romans 14, showing why disputable matters exist in the first place and what believers are supposed to do with them. Jews came to faith...

Send us Fan Mail Most people would describe a person of strong faith as someone with a long list of things they don't do. The Apostle Paul would disagree — and his definition might surprise you. In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson opens up Romans 14 and walks through one of the most misunderstood passages in Paul's letters. According to Scripture, weak faith is what requires more exter...

Send us Fan Mail Israel stumbled. But stumbling is not the same as falling — and Paul wants both Jewish and Gentile believers to understand exactly why the distinction matters. In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson works through Romans 11, unpacking one of the most overlooked arguments in all of Paul's letters. Israel's rejection of Jesus wasn't a failure of God's plan — it was...

Send us Fan Mail Israel had the law, the covenants, the promises, and the patriarchs. The Gentiles had none of it. And yet it was the Gentiles who attained the righteousness Israel was pursuing — because they received it by faith rather than trying to earn it by works. That's the stunning reversal Paul unpacks in Romans 9 and 10, and it leads him to one of the most important declarations in a...

Send us Fan Mail Being born into a Christian family doesn't make you a Christian. Being descended from Abraham doesn't make you a child of Abraham. God has sons and daughters — but He has no grandsons. That phrase, which shaped Pastor Randy Johnson's understanding of faith early in his ministry, sits at the center of Romans 9. Paul opens with one of the most personally anguished mom...

Send us Fan Mail Every June, millions of people type the same question into Google: is homosexuality a sin? After 45 years of ministry, I’ve come to believe that’s the wrong question. It’s an honest question, and it deserves an honest answer. But it’s too small — because “is THIS a sin?” keeps the conversation safely aimed at other people. The question Jesus forces on every one of us is bigger, an...

Send us Fan Mail Most believers know they should overcome sin. Far fewer understand that God never expected them to do it alone — or in their own strength. Romans 8 is Paul's great chapter on the Holy Spirit, and at its core is a truth that changes how you approach every temptation, every struggle, every moment of weakness. God has not left you to fight with willpower. He has given you His Sp...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 8 doesn't build slowly toward its conclusion. It arrives like a verdict that was never in question — and then dares anyone to challenge it. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Tribulation? Distress? Persecution? Famine? Danger? Death itself? Paul's answer is not a careful theological argument. It's a defiant declaration. Nothing in all creation can...

Send us Fan Mail Paul has established that the believer is dead to sin and alive to God. Now he gets intensely practical. What do you actually do with that truth every day? The answer comes in the form of a choice — and Paul frames it as the most fundamental choice a human being can make. Whatever you present yourself to, you become a slave to. Present yourself to sin and sin masters you. Present...

Send us Fan Mail The cross was not just a transaction between God and one man. It was a cosmic event that encompassed all of humanity — because Jesus didn't die merely as an individual. He died as the representative of the entire human race. In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson goes deeper into Romans 5 and 6 to unpack what Paul means when he says that one act of righteousness leads to justi...

Send us Fan Mail Every time Paul preaches grace this thoroughly, someone raises the same objection. If grace covers sin, why not keep sinning? If forgiveness abounds where sin increases, shouldn't we sin more to get more grace? Paul's answer is not a gentle correction. It's a stunned refusal. By no means. How can we who died to sin still live in it? In this episode, Pastor Randy Joh...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 5 opens with a word that changes everything — therefore. Because justification is by faith, something follows from it. And what follows is more than most believers have been taught to expect. Peace with God. Access to grace. A standing that doesn't shift with circumstances. And remarkably — the ability to rejoice not just in hope, but in suffering itself, because suffe...

Send us Fan Mail If righteousness could be earned, it wouldn't be a gift. And if it's a gift, boasting is finished. That's the corner Paul turns in Romans 3 before spending all of Romans 4 proving it from the one figure no Jewish listener could argue with — Abraham himself. In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson works through Romans 3:9 through 4:25, showing how Paul dismantles every...

Send us Fan Mail If Romans 1 and 2 build the case against humanity, Romans 3 delivers the verdict — and then immediately offers the pardon. Paul opens with a question the Jewish believer would naturally ask: if everyone is under judgment, does that mean God's promises to Israel have failed? His answer cuts to the heart of who God is. God's faithfulness doesn't rise or fall on human...

Send us Fan Mail Few questions create more fear in a believer's heart than this one — what if I've already crossed a line I can never come back from? Jesus spoke of a sin that would not be forgiven in this age or the age to come. Theologians have debated it for centuries. And for many Christians, the worry lingers quietly in the background: what if that's me? In this episode, Pastor...

Send us Fan Mail Most Christians have been taught that salvation is simply about avoiding hell when they die. Accept Jesus, stay out of trouble, go to heaven. But what if that version of salvation is missing the most important part — or gets the whole thing backwards? In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson takes Romans 1 apart verse by verse to show what Paul actually meant when he wrote about the...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 1 opens with the most powerful statement in Paul's letters — the gospel is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes. But within a few verses, Paul pivots to something most people aren't prepared for: a detailed account of how God's wrath actually works. It doesn't look like lightning from heaven. It looks like God stepping back. In this ep...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 1 ends with a list of sins that makes most readers nod along — idolatry, immorality, wickedness. But Paul isn't finished. He turns the corner in Romans 2 and aims directly at the person who just agreed with everything he said. You have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson works through Romans 2:1-29 verse by verse, unpack...

Send us Fan Mail Before Paul gets to the great theological arguments of Romans, he lets the church in Rome see his heart. He prays for them constantly. He has tried to visit and been prevented. He longs to see them — not just to teach, but because he expects to be encouraged by their faith as much as they are by his. In this episode, Pastor Randy Johnson walks through Romans 1:8-15, pulling out so...
