At Peace Or In Crisis?
Our text begins with “THEREFORE”. When you read your Bible and encounter the word “THEREFORE”, you should ask yourself,
“What is it THERE FOR?”
This “THEREFORE” is pointing backwards to what we learned about Abraham last week. Abraham is called “our father”, because his life is the pattern of saving faith. The Bible says,
Romans 4:3 (AP) … Abraham BELIEVED GOD, and HIS BELIEF was counted or IMPUTED unto him for righteousness …
God came to a broken man, and called him to follow Him, to be a follower of Christ. Abraham followed. He believed in Jesus, and followed Jesus – even when he did not understand where he was going or what he was going through. Abraham was saved by believing in Jesus (John 8:58). Abraham was saved apart from ritual, apart from Church, apart from Law, apart from good works, apart from any human agency whatsoever. Abraham cast his broken life on Jesus, and followed the Great Shepherd where… Continue reading
Cherish God’s Word
Proverbs 13:10 Only by PRIDE {zāḏôn} cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.
The source of man’s fall from Paradise, the source of every war or division in the history of mankind is “PRIDE”.
Word Study: The word used for “PRIDE” here is the Hebrew {zāḏôn}, which means “pride, insolence, presumptuousness, arrogance”. Pride always looks for something shinier and prettier than the glory of God, and seeks to secure it for oneself. My commentary notes:
“The word translated “insolence” comes from a Hebrew verb literally meaning “to boil.” This suggests a kind of inward, bubbling pride that refuses to learn anything from anybody … An insolent person is a contentious, know-it-all, egotistical individual with a superior attitude. He is quick to quarrel and unwilling to agree with anyone with a different view. Such persons create a great deal of drama but accomplish little else.
The Apostle advises us: Continue reading
Living By The Flesh Or The Spirit?
As God talks to us about genuine salvation, we have learned in Romans so far that:
Chapter 1: God is LOVE, but God is also WRATH. God offers us His love through the “Gospel of Jesus Christ”. But if we reject His love, and instead focus on satisfying ourselves through the flesh or “vile passions”, God will let us burn ourselves out. If God calls us, but we reject His Gospel, He will leave us to our own destructive ways.
Chapter 2: We are all sinners. God gave us an external diagnostic tool called “The Law” to show us how broken we are. The Mosaic Law declares that we need to repent, and come surrendered to God in faith. We need God to write HIS LAW in our hearts so that we might want to serve Him and not our flesh. In the end, God will judge the fruit of our lives. If that fruit was God honoring, we will be rewarded. If that fruit is flesh honoring, we will be damned (Revelation 20:11-14).
Chapter 3: God determined to send His Messiah and His Gospel to this world through a chosen nation called “Israel”. Though … Continue reading

Bad News And Good News
People do not understand the GOOD NEWS until they first hear the BAD NEWS. I used to see bumper stickers that said “Jesus Saves”, to which I’d reply sarcastically, “From What?” Jesus saves from what? What do we need to be saved from? What do I need to be saved from?
In our opening text God tells us that “Jesus saves”, and shares the wonderful Gospel of Christ. But we skipped the introduction. Before the Apostle shares the Gospel or the Good News, God through him gives us the Bad News.
The “Good News” is not good until you hear the bad news.
Romans 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:… Continue reading

The Most Deadly Thing
In 2019 we were told that the greatest threat to humanity was attacking the world. Called the “Coronavirus Disease” or “Covid-19”, nearly every nation in the world ground to a halt. Governments shut down businesses, gymnasiums, beaches, restaurants, and Churches. From its initial outbreak in late 2019 to April 13, 2024 there were 7,010,681 deaths worldwide from Covid. So is Covid the most dangerous thing in the world? It is dangerous, but the U.S. Centers for Disease Control tells us that mosquitoes are the world’s deadliest creature. It causes 700,000 deaths worldwide each year. Which is more deadly – Covid, or mosquitoes?
There’s something more deadly than Covid-19, mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, or spiders. The most deadly thing in the world is what God calls “Sin”.
Sin is more deadly than cancer. If you go to your doctor and he diagnoses you with cancer, there are options that you will be given to combat that cancer. Very few people tell their doctor to “go fly a kite” when he gives them the diagnosis. The cancer patient takes the doctor seriously, and heeds the doctor. But when God tells us that sin is deadly, we ignore both the Word of God and the Pastor who tells us about it. Continue reading

Love Instruction Love God
When battling evil neither Jesus nor Michael the Archangel used their own power, opinion, or desires – even though Jesus is God become flesh (John 1:14; 1 Timothy 3:16). The All Mighty in human form relied on the Word and power of God. The Archangel, more powerful than we can imagine, relied on the Word and power of God.
The power for abundant living is found in knowledge of God’s Word. To reject God’s Word is to become “brutish”.
The devil often comes to us and through our sincere emotions seeks to manipulate us into doing that which is contrary to God’s Will and God’s Word. Sincerity is no proof of truth. The truth is in God’s Word. Jesus said
John 17:17 (KJV) {Father,} Thy Word is TRUTH” (John 17:17).
The Psalmist wrote, Continue reading

Who Said That? Jesus or Satan?
As we believe in GOD, we are to believe in JESUS. Jesus is the Son of God. He is the Great I AM, God manifest in the flesh. Jesus is the One Whom God has sent to show us the way of light. When Israel believed in themselves, they lost the Promised Land. God told Israel that every 7th year was to be a Sabbatical Year where Israel believed not in themselves, but in God. God gave Israel numerous Sabbaths where they were to cease their own works, and believe in God. Yet Israel believed in themselves – and lost the Promised Land and their freedoms. We are never to believe in ourselves – but in God and in Christ. Jesus said:
John 12:44-50 (ESV) …. Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. 45 And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. 46 I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. 47 If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. 48 The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. 49 For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.
We are not to believe in ourselves apart from the power of Jesus…. Continue reading

The Dangerous Confusion Of Idolatry
Romans 1:25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Opening: What is the most deadly poison in the world? If you ask scientists, they will tell you that it is not snake venom, nor black mold, nor even radiation poisoning. The most deadly poison they say is not cyanide, arsenic, or strychnine. It is Botulinum toxin. A tiny particle – 1 nanogram, a billionth of a gram … and a gram is 1/30 of an ounce – will kill you.
There is something even more deadly than Botulinum toxin, and what makes it so deadly is that it can creep up on you. No, I’m not talking about Covid or the Flu.
The deadliest thing ever was introduced to our species not by a monkey or a sheep, but by a snake in a garden. This deadly thing is idolatry. Continue reading

We Live By The Gospel
Romans 1:8-17 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. 14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. 17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
I was reading an article the other day about the first vending machine ever made. In the article the author stated:
“the first-ever vending machine was utilized all the way back in the 1st century A.D. — by the Christian church. No, it didn’t dispense indulgences, though that would have been awesome, and probably have inspired rampant sinning in a 10-foot radius of the machine. What it did dispense, as if it was Fruitopia or Surge, was holy water. … Continue reading
What Is The Gospel?
A Pastor preached on the Grace of God one Sunday. As he stood at the door following the service, an elderly man came up to him and shook his hand. He said “Pastor, your sermon really struck home! It perfectly illustrated the grace and love of God.” The Pastor was thrilled, and said, “Wonderful brother. How did my sermon show you the grace and love of God?” The man said, “Your sermon passed all understanding, and it seemed like it endured forever!”
Hopefully this sermon won’t “pass all understanding” or seem to “endure forever”. Last week we learned how Saul the Church Persecutor became Paul the Church builder. How did Saul become Paul? He met the Lord Jesus Christ on Damascus Road and, calling upon His Name, the Name of Jesus, Saul became Paul. He was changed, gloriously changed. Before Saul met Christ, he was a giver of death. After meeting Jesus, Paul was a giver of life.
Saul became Paul when he was “separated {made a Saint} unto the Gospel of God”
What is the “Gospel”? The word “GOSPEL” is the Greek euangelion (pronounced yoo-ang-ghel’-ee-on), which literally means “The GOOD NEWS”. Everyone knows what “good news” is, though we rarely hear it today. The Bible gives us bad news in that “God is Perfect, and yet we are far from perfect. We are all broken, and are born into this world sinners.” But the GOOD NEWS – the GOSPEL – is that God has provided a way to fix… Continue reading
