Understanding Spirit, Soul, And Body By Andrew Wommack Did you know a Christian can actually die from sickness or disease while the same power that raised Jesus from the dead lies dormant within them? Or did you know that believers can be overcome with depression, anger, and bitterness, all the while possessing God’s love, joy,Continue reading “Understanding Spirit, Soul and Body (Andrew Wommack)”

Run Through Romans (5.1)
1Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Just one verse this morning, though as snow has ground London to a halt, I may have time later to comment on more of Romans 5. However, I wanted this one truth to be nailed into your heart today. PaulContinue reading “Run Through Romans (5.1)”
Run Through Romans (4.9-13)
This is some beautiful teaching here from the apostle of grace, Paul: 9Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness. Paul is taking here about the blessedness of not having your sin held against you. As I said inContinue reading “Run Through Romans (4.9-13)”
Spurgeon on Righteousness by Grace through faith
And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins. (Ephesians 2:1, KJV) Spiritual life is not the result of working; how can the dead work for life? Must they not be quickened [i.e. regenerated] first, and then will they not rather work from life than for life? (emphasis mine) Life is aContinue reading “Spurgeon on Righteousness by Grace through faith”
Run Through Romans (chapter 3:1-21)
In Romans 1, Paul tells us two rather alarming truths: firstly, that all the nations of the world are involved in a spiral of increasing unrighteousness. Secondly, that the justice of God means that God must punish all unrighteousness. In Romans 2, Paul destroys any hope that religion or religious ritual might protect us from theContinue reading “Run Through Romans (chapter 3:1-21)”
Run Through Romans (chapter 2)
If you have to sum up Romans 2 in one sentence it would be this: religious people are filled with unrighteousness. We operate in the misconception that religious acts and rituals make us better than everyone else. Let’s look at the text and examine it: 1Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art thatContinue reading “Run Through Romans (chapter 2)”

ForContinue reading “Run Through Romans (1:1-17)”
What is Righteousness?
As we Run through Romans in the next few weeks, one of the key questions that we will be examining in detail is: how can someone be righteous before God? However, this question immediately brings a question: what is righteousness? The Greek word generally translated righteousness is dikaiosynē (pronounced die-kai-o-soon-ey) and Strong’s dictionary tells usContinue reading “What is Righteousness?”
Run Through Romans (Intro)
I want to work my way through some books of the Bible, just giving a brief overview of each chapter and any highlights. The church is suffering from a lack of knowledge from the Bible. We know a Scripture here and a Scripture there, but we need to be able to know the context ofContinue reading “Run Through Romans (Intro)”
