Let us pray. God, be our teacher. Help us. Clear all confusion. Reveal your Word to us. More importantly, give us You. In your Son’s good and holy name, I ask. Amen.
Romans 8:2 (ESV) For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ [...]
I have noticed that going through multiple verses especially whole chapters is a bit too much information to take in and process. One of the main reasons I have started this Bible Study is to see disciples of Christ raised up. Part of doing so is hopefully having the inerrant, all sufficient Word [...]
Led to the Slaughter by Red Letter
Verse 1
Expose our prideful motives, throw them away
And clothe us with humility as You displayed
We all have sought a savior in garbage heaps
Lift us out from the wreckage, become our King
Chorus
Born into this world like us
A humble human form
Pouring Himself out as an offering
God became just like a lamb [...]
Romans 7:7-25: I Will Wrestle
We are in the home stretch of wrapping up the six arguments that Paul lays out in defense of a changed heart and mind and life after accepting Christ as your Lord and Savior. (I will do a quick review before heading into Romans 8 next time.) It is [...]
Let this be the only love song I write
May You be the only Love in my life
I asked You to draw me, I said I would run
So though I walk through the valley, yet will I trust
I asked You to call me, I said I would come
So though I go up the mountain, yet will [...]

2. One [...]
Last week we talked about how we were descendants of Adam and because of one man’s sin, we were born physically alive but spiritually dead. Essentially, at one point in every one’s lives, we were surely destined to hell. We are born sinners and sinned out of the things we did we were [...]
When you ordain ministers who are known, proud and unrepentant sinners, don’t be shocked when you see your church shrink in size.
When you don’t call out sinners to repent and break themselves before the Almighty God, don’t be shocked when people are not attracted to God.
When you ignore the Holy Spirit of the Bible who [...]
when you smile at me, you make me lose my balance
when I fall for you, I fall in love, your hair falls all around me
when I’m lost in you, I’m lost in conversation
I watch your lips move around your words,

Warm night I will soon remember,
meet [...]
