Romans

The very meaning of life is given by Paul in a throw away line.

The constant pattern of our lives should not be guilt, shame, or pride, but praise and worship of our great God.

Does sin really matter?

Since Adam, death reigns like a tyrant over all that walk the earth, but those who believe in Christ, those who receive God’s grace in him, reign in life beyond.

For anyone going through something and hearing that there is a sunny side to suffering is about as helpful as putting a screen door on a submarine, except when it isn’t.

What promises of God are we doubting? What impossible thing of God do we continue to question today? Who have we given up on?

What does it mean to be righteous? Why is God righteous?

Paul combats the classic arguments of greasy grace.

Romans is full of sinful patterns and today it is no different, for today we have the pattern and sin of double standards laid bare.

Paul focuses in on sin that is far more subtle, more serious, more insidious and more widespread than anything mentioned thus far.
