Respecting The Higher Powers

Don't be conformed to the culture, but comply with Congress? What? Romans, chapter 13 gives us the clearest instruction anywhere in Scripture of how Christians should relate to civil government. But let's not tear it out of its context. All that the Apostle has written in chapter 12 about being transformed, and our living sacrifice, is still in play. The key to understanding this is the idea of delegated authority. Here's Jim on Respecting the Higher Powers.

Behaving Like Brethren

"Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another...." In Romans, Paul offers us grand theology, as well as some "Do's and Don'ts" of getting along with others: "...distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality." He writes, "Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. Agree toward one another." Today Pastor Jim begins a sermon called, Behaving Like Brethren.

Glued For Good

Love, and right. When fake Christians parrot the words, "God is love," they mean, "God is love and does not judge." But the Bible explains, "Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth." That's in Paul's famous "love chapter," 1 Corinthians 13. So real love - "true love," as we've been discussing - not only distinguishes good from evil; it aligns itself with righteousness.

True Love

"The Academy award goes to....!" In our study of Romans 12 we've noticed that God distributes gifts to those in His family, to build each other up. But it's possible to employ those gifts in a kind of hollow performance. Are we just acting? Or are we being driven by love? And why is it so hard to take off the mask? What are we afraid will happen if people see the real Me? Jim will share some insights into that. Here's the opening to his sermon, True Love.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Are we mutilating the Body of Christ? Here in the land of "rugged individualism" we live our lives disconnected. We're often separated from kin and community by geography and economics. Now technology can connect us, but often isolates us even more. We were not meant to live our Christian lives this way. We were baptized into something: into the church. In it, we don't lose our individuality; we find ourselves.

A Worthy Response

Now we come to a verse that most Christians disobey. If we've read and understood the first 11 chapters of Romans, then we see our situation clearly: We've been rescued purely by the goodness of the Father, and the merits of Christ. We certainly don't have any reason to boast. And that should create gratitude in our hearts. And that gratitude should grow into love, and a desire to serve and please God. That would be a Worthy Response.

Biblical Basis For Foreign Policy With State Of Israel

We'll be baffled by current events if we don't know history... and we can't understand history without the Bible! God has made promises to the people of Israel. And those promises will be fulfilled - regardless the opinions of the UN, or the media, or the "Palestinians," so-called. Even bad theology by Christians won't hinder the plans of "the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob." Some of those plans had been a secret, Paul says. But not anymore.

Whosoever Includes You

The religious people missed the door to heaven. The heathen said, "Well, here it is." It's impossible to overstate the paradox that Paul reveals in Romans 10. The Jews had been given knowledge, but they were ignorant of important things. They had "good deeds" that didn't please God. They had a kind of righteousness, but it wasn't right. But when pagans heard about the Savior, they knew that this is what they'd been longing for. Here's Jim with the sermon, 'Whosoever' Includes You.

Responsible Human Choices Within A Sovereign Plan - Part 1

Are we all just players in a cosmic puppet show? When Paul began teaching the Roman Christians about God's election of Israel, he opened up a very large can of worms. We have a hard time understanding how these two things can be true at the same time: God chooses, and we choose. Our choices are real, and consequential; God's choices are eternal and unchallengeable. Can Paul show us from the scriptures that this is so?

Responsible Human Choices Within A Sovereign Plan - Part 2

A lot of people come away from Romans 9 with weird ideas. If an atheist accuses God of wickedness, that's one thing. When a Christian makes the Holy One the author of evil, something has gone very wrong with his or her interpretation of Scripture. So let's think some more about these "vessels of wrath" that Paul mentions in this chapter, and about the purpose of God.
