“The most terrifying truth I can speak to you… Are you ready? Here it is, the most terrifying thing I can tell a man, a women, a child is that God is good! The most terrifying news is God is good! God is good! What’s the problem with that? The apostolic proclamation is NOT pray this prayer, the apostolic proclamation is this… That He commands all men to repent and believe the gospel.” Jesus…
Is there anybody out there? Is anybody there? Is there anybody that does good? Is there even one? Paul answers in Romans 3:12 by quoting Psalm 14:3 There is no one who does good, not even one. THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE.” You could line up all the greatest humanitarians that ever lived in a row and if they’re not created in Christ Jesus for good works, they are, well Isaiah explains…
Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Romans 8:35 “We know what God wants, right? We know God’s plan and God’s purpose is to bring us all to glory and lose none of us and to give us everlasting life. And we will never perish. And Jesus said, “No one will take them out of My Father’s hand.”…

Romans 11:36 What is the chief end of man? Man’s chief end is to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. Soli Deo Gloria Lenny
While studying and teaching in Romans for Sunday school I get these fleeting thoughts every once in a while, like… How does anyone every get saved? or Man is really bad! Paul just pours it on, over and over while he levels the playing field, we’re all guilty and in need of a Redeemer. Then I remember! It’s Christ and Christ alone that saves. So we don’t need to evangelize right? NO! Paul says…
We continue to study the book of Romans, chapter 3 in Sunday school… I ask the class this question, are you getting sick of all the bad news Paul is saying yet? Especially after Romans 3:10-18 when he continues to even the playing field and pronounce all the world guilty as charged. Paul quotes the O.T starting in Romans 3:10 as it is written, “THERE IS NONE RIGHTEOUS, NOT EVEN ONE; 11 THERE IS NONE…
The worship was so God honoring and Christ exalting … We have a passionate worship leader who is dedicated to the Lord and to leading and directing the redeemed in our church with songs… While I was singing the hymns and songs I couldn’t help thinking about this truth found Ephesians 5 where we see that the redeemed are spirit filled people who sing collectively to each other and who love to sing praises to…

Romans 13:14 “Mark it down – your progress in holiness will never exceed your relationship with the Word of God.” Nancy Leigh DeMoss Breath in me, O Holy Spirit, that my thoughts…
