- Heaping Coals
God alone has the perfect knowledge of the conditions that bring about people's evil actions, the motives that drive those actions, and the far-reaching impact of those actions upon others. This perfect knowledge is necessary for God to ac…
- Thinking of One Another Part 2

- Thinking of One Another

- Unfeigned Love
Most people begin life in such a circumstance where they are getting primed to love. We have to receive love before we can give love. Most babies come into the world and arrive in loving arms. That mother gets an extra measure of love stok…

In order to live morally you have to have words, words you can think about and consider and respond to. Words that direct you to God and his will and allow you in this moral sense to think God's thoughts after him. It is in this area of wo…
- The Body We Present
A strange sacrifice God asks of us. Presenting our bodies? Consider up to this point in Romans 12:1 what Paul has told us of our bodies. Then consider the miracle of God as we present that body to him!

The simple words principally found in Romans 12:1 will show us the wonderful foundation for the Christian's ethic and moral practice…and our approach to our morals.

Here is the Mystery: God has a plan to bring his salvation upon all the nations, culminating in the final and full redemption of the nation of Israel. God will do this by bringing all under the conviction of their disobedience so that they…
- Spiritual Pride
Judaism is at our roots. It is the ladder by which we are brought up into the promise of Jesus Christ. Don't neglect your Old Testament. Don't look down upon the Israel of God. Don't think you can stand in your Christianity apart from the…
- Rich and Much Richer
There is an incentive for Paul as an Apostle to the Gentiles to continue to seek to bring some of the Jews to Christ. They represent a bridge into God's salvation for the whole nation. And Paul knows the salvation of the nation as a whole…
- How Paul was Like Elijah
An interesting observation in the writings of the Prophets will reveal a cross current of love and hatred. The prophet will pray and plead for and with his nation to turn them back to the Lord and next he will be railing against them in th…

Simply consider what it means to obey the gospel. "But they have not all obeyed the gospel..."
- Our Profession

- The Prayer The Proclamation
Romans 10:1-13 brings us to the peak application of the book of Romans. Here Paul, led by the Holy Spirit, brings us into the culminating expressions of the Christian before the glory of the Gospel.
- My Hearts Desire
Paul guides us to consider the sovereignty of God that lies behind this gospel. God is sovereign in how he saves (in mercy to those who believe). God is sovereign in who he saves (as we will see God crafts for fitness the vessels of mercy)…

An overview of Romans 9 brings us to verse 22-24 and the challenge to the obstinate heart. Who are to to say to the one who has formed you? Consider God's sovereignty before your Salvation.

- The Generosity of God
God entices us to ask for wisdom holding out to us a promise, a provision, and His own generous presence. Finally He entices us with a precedent set. God is a giving God. Finally there one proviso... Ask in faith and don't doubt the Provid…
- The Well is Before You
When Jesus cried out, "If anyone thirst come to me and drink" we must understand that he was present before those he was inviting. He still is. The waters of revival are not far from us but right before us.
- Rubble in the Well - A Thousand Little Things
Ruble #1 - We lose sight of God's power; Ruble #2 - we replace the authority of His word with our own renditions and our own needs, the doctrines are replaced with ethics and moralisms and we forget all that Christ has delivered us from an…
- Dispossessed Doctrines - Regeneration
The doctrine of the new birth is faintly preached in our day. The reason is that it would not be received with joy in many congregations. 1 John was a letter most gladly received to its initial recipients. The same letter preached in many…
- Dispossessed Doctrines - Justification
Deny or stifle a robust emotional expressions of guilt, shame or fear and you lose your hold on the greatness of the doctrine of justification. What the individuals need is not that these emotions be tamped down. Instead they must be raise…
- The Rubble of Textualism
The topic is Illumination. The same Spirit that revealed God's message through the authors of Scripture must illumine that message to the Christian. The danger of imposing your sovereignty (read wishful thinking or assumed virtues) over th…

Once you lose faith in a Sovereign all powerful God you lose confidence in His Word. The authority of God's Word is lost in the church and must be restored.
- The Rubble of Unbelief
What blocks the well keeping us from the revival waters of Christ's life? The first piece of Rubble that must go is a diminished view of God. The Rubble of unbelief in a sovereign, active, all powerful God blocks our way to the water in th…

Follow the examples of spiritual giants on their way back to the wells of salvation.
- The Desperate Need
Many in our generation have wandered from the wells of salvation and worked out a certain kind of success apart from this well. But the time has come to separate from the world and get back to what our spiritual fathers drank. The problem…
- A Just Mercy
A controversial passage traditionally viewed through the window of God's sovereignty. We have instead recognize that the primary attribute that should guide our understanding of this passage is to be the attribute of God's mercy.
- The Narrowing
What does Paul mean when he says that "not all of Israel are of Israel?" The best way to answer that question is to ask, "What is the primary focus of Romans Chapter 9?"Answer that question correctly and you will then be in a position to u…
- The Grief
The grief of Paul over Israel reveals the proper point of grief for the intercessor who pleads for those under judgement.
- The Latent Hope of Israel

Are not you glad that your triumph in life doesn't depend upon the attitude you maintain but on the unchanging eternal life and love of God? I am glad to live in the hour I live in, but I thank God for the testimonies of those who faced do…
- Silencing our Accusers
We learn to live with it. We are surrounded by voices of accusation and condemnation. Our responses to them bring us under the influence of our accusers. Satan is called the accuser of the Brethren. This is his strategy for control. They c…

The short phrase "with him" in Romans 8:32 designates the currency through which you were purchased from slavery into salvation.

The promise of Romans 8:28 for good is the good of what end? It is the good end of being conformed into the image of Christ. It is an end that only delights those who love God.

Romans 8:29-31 teaches us of the loving choice God made of us and what he to and what he chose us for - That we might be conformed the image of his Son.
