Romans

Romans 8:1 (NKJV) “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.“ We are only a few days into the new year. How are you doing on your new goals? Are you reading something in your Bible every […]

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” When Paul wrote this, he was talking about the process of salvation. How will anyone ever believe in Jesus if they are not told? Someone has to share the good news of the word of God and then, upon

Roman’s 5:8 (NIV®) “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” You’ve heard these accounts from others – maybe you’ve experienced it yourself.  A young man has eyes for a young lady and the young lady has eyes for him. Outsiders looking in can

Romans 14:12 (NIV®) “So then, each of us will give an account of ourselves to God.” This verse makes me think of my future accountability session with God.  I can’t say I’m looking forward to learning all I could have done and didn’t do in this life.  I mean, I try, but I have zero

Romans 7:15 (NKJV) “For what I am doing, I do not understand.  For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do.” Have you ever had a day where you think everything is moving along fine and then you do something that destroys it all?  I had

Romans 12:3 (NKJV) “For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.” Isn’t it amazing how scripture can read us?  I hope

Romans 1:25 (NIV®) “They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator — who is forever praised. Amen” I have been noticing lately how our natural tendency is to substitute things in this world in exchange for God.  I don’t think we normally notice it
