What exactly does the Bible teach about the morality of debt and wisdom in money matters. Does “owe no one anything” reflect a moral rule on what the Bible teaches about borrowing? Or is it really about something different? This and more in today’s verse by verse Bible study through Romans 13:8-14. Continuing our study through the book of Romans and trying to learn how to think biblically about everything.

They don’t mean what you THINK they mean. You’ll find out about Mormons using the same vocabulary as Christians but having a different dictionary for what those words actually mean to them. Some of the terms we will cover are; God the Father, Jesus, Salvation, Create, Monotheism, Grace, and others.Use this resource to share with others so they too can have the Mormon secret language revealed.

Looking at specific Bible passages that give us principles to answer some very tough questions about government.
1. What’s a biblical view of the separation of church and state?
2. Is there such a thing as an entirely secular government?
3. What’s wrong with govt trying to act like it’s the church?
4. What’s wrong with church acting like it’s the govt?
5. Why shouldn’t Christians turn their back on govt?
6. Where does the Bible stand on capital punishment?
7. Should preachers speak out against government?
8. Do Christians want a theocracy?

Romans 12 gives us a SUCH a character challenge that I find myself saying “If only Christians would act like this”. But the more important question I need to ask myself is, “am I acting like this”. Let’s take a moment to get the plank out of our own eye in this verse by verse study of Romans 12:12-21. We will tackle all the major issues head on and be reminded of the kind of person Jesus exampled for us and the kind of person we are called to be.

I hope and pray this motivates you powerfully and even if it breaks your heart a bit it would only be to make you stronger in Christ!

in Christ,
Mike

I’m responding to Watchtower claims about Jesus’ resurrection and second coming. Did Jesus’ body rot in the tomb? What are the signs of Jesus’ return? 
It’s time to deal with the Watchtower and the second coming!

Living out the 8 character traits in Romans 12:9-11 is how you can be more like Jesus. We are constantly being called to live a more Christ-like life and to allow God to transform our attitudes and actions. In preparing this Bible study I found that my own life was changed and it made me really excited to share these wonderful truths with you! Romans 12:9-11 has a very serious character challenge for us. It reminds us of what kind of person Jesus really was and what type of person a Christian is supposed to be.

We look today at the gifts of teaching, exhortation, giving, mercy, leading and serving. To get a more biblical philosophy of the church. To understand how the gifts of the Spirit are to operate in a local fellowship of Christians. What astounds me as we look into Romans 12 is the universality of the gifts of the Spirit and the call to all of us to do our part in a godly way. This means that many believers today should probably be more involved in using these gifts than they already are. The pastor isn’t the only gifted person in the church! You too have gifts and a calling to use them!

Toward becoming more biblical about the gift of prophecy, humility and church in general. Often the debate is over whether the gifts are valid today and we stop short of asking, “but what does the Bible say about how they are to be practiced?” This results in some reckless attitudes toward things like the gift of prophecy. Although this message deals with humility and unity I really think some important and needful points are made regarding prophecy. This is info that our churches need today. I speak openly about Bill Johnson and Bethel Church in Redding, CA. But I do not do so out of spite or a lack of grace. I do so because of a desire to help them and the large number of churches around the world being impacted by the same issues I see coming from that ministry. We don’t want to throw out the baby with the bathwater but it would be nice to get rid of the bathwater and to be a more biblical church.

Spiritual transformation has something of a formula in Romans 12. And what could be more necessary than having our minds changed to be more like the Lord? In this message we will look at how the things we do with our bodies impacts our inner self and see the important of separation from worldliness. Changing our minds the biblical way.

Perhaps we need to get out of our comfort zone and remember what God has called us to. What does it mean to be a living sacrifice? What inspires such devotion and what does it look like in our daily lives? It’s time to get really practical about our worship. This is part of a verse by verse series through the book of Romans with pastor Mike Winger.
