How will they hear without a preacher?

Reading today in Romans chapters 9 through 11. For the Scripture saith, "Whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed."  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon Him.  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord …

…Professing themselves to be wise…

The excerpt from today's reading of Acts 28 through Romans 2 is a warning for those who deny God, go their own way and do what is right in their own eyes. God gives them up. Hear the word of the Lord... Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither …

The Nations Shall Glorify The Lord For His Mercy

Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers: and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, "For this cause I will confess to Thee among the Gentiles, and sing unto Thy name." And …

Children of the Promise

I say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Ghost, that I have great heaviness and continual sorrow in my heart.  For I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh: who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, …

In the Spirit of Jesus Christ

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.  For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.  For what the law could not do, in that it …

The Truth and the Wrath of God

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." …

Bear the infirmities of the weak

We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification. For even Christ pleased not Himself; but, as it is written, 'The reproaches of them that reproached Thee fell on Me.' For whatsoever things were written …

When works are no more works; and grace is no more grace

I say then, 'Hath God cast away His people?' God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away His people which He foreknew. Wot ye not what the Scripture saith of Elias? How he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, 'Lord, …

The goodness of God

Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them …

Day Eighty – Shipwreck, Sin, and Slavery

The world we live in with all the conveniences, comforts, and wealth is not often viewed with slavery, or sin in mind.  As a matter of fact most of the human race would just as soon forget the idea of sin and chalk it up to being an antiquated idea.  An ancient superstition or fear …
