My brothers and sisters, I myself am convinced that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, and are able to teach each other. But I’ve written to you in a sort of daring way, partly to remind you of what you already know. I’m writing to you in this way because of theContinue reading “preach”

How might God work through this…
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28) I’m sitting at my desk as 2018 is coming to a close and I am thinking about all the things that happened this past year. Even the night before I write thisContinue reading “How might God work through this…”
sinners gift
Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For “no human being will be justified in his sight” by deeds prescribed by the law, for through the law comesContinue reading “sinners gift”
Rejected?
I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? ‘Lord, theyContinue reading “Rejected?”
New Creation!
What then are we to say? Should we continue in sin in order that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin go on living in it? Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we haveContinue reading “New Creation!”

Turn out the lights…
What then? Are we Jews any better off? No, not at all. For we have already charged that all, both Jews and Greeks, are under sin, as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no oneContinue reading “Turn out the lights…”
even the depths of God
When I came to you, brothers and sisters, I did not come proclaiming the mystery of God to you in lofty words or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and him crucified. And I came to you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling. My speech and my proclamation were not withContinue reading “even the depths of God”
for those who are in Christ Jesus
“There is therefore now no condemnation” are comforting words used by Paul to start the 8th chapter of the epistle to the Roman’s… They are comforting. Now there is no condemnation. There is no condemning of us any more. But hold on there is a catch the no condemnation is only for those who are in ChristContinue reading “for those who are in Christ Jesus”
