None is Righteous
None is righteous. That is what the scripture tells us. But neither were we, so we must be humble and not judge others as we were there too.

Anger is Not Sin
(Ephesians 4:26-27) One of the great questions to be understood by Christians is what is and is not sin? There are a multitude of things that people call sin, but are they really sin? Today I want to look at this issue to try and nail down some aspects of what is and isn’t sin,…

Episode 25 – What is Sin?
It is well recognised among Christians that the one thing that separates man from God is sin. But what is sin? Many people in the church have differing ideas of what constitutes sin and what is not. In some cases they are correct, but in other ways they are completely off-track. In this podcast we…

Episode 24 – Understanding the Nature of Man
Every person starts walking down Salvation Road in the same place: Walking WITHOUT Jesus. We are all people of this world and we all suffer the same frailties, weaknesses, lusts, passions and desires. We walk in a constant state of sinfulness.

Sons, not Slaves
(Romans 8:14-17) There is a sharp distinction between our life in Jesus Christ and living in this world. There are two sets of opposing powers at work that significantly affect and impact every person on this planet. On the one hand there is the spirit of this world. This world today is ruled by the…

Wages Of Sin

Obedient Slaves
(Romans 6:15-22) In my last few posts I have looked at the prime focus of the death of Jesus and the purpose of His shed blood. That purpose was to set man free from sin and to release man from the power of sin, which is bondage to the law. It is by baptism into…

You Are NOT Under Law
(Romans 6:14) A few posts back I wrote a post titled “You are NOT a Sinner.” The underlying reason for that post is that God has set you free from sin and taken your sins away through the saving and cleansing blood of Jesus Christ. The principles for the release from sin was established in…

You Are NOT a Sinner
(Romans 6:1-11) If there is one issue that Christians struggle with it is how they stand in relation to sin after coming to The Lord. I would like you to read the title of this post once again before I go on. Done that? Good! So let me repeat it…you are NOT a sinner. And…

The Power Of One
(Romans 5:15-19) We see in this section how the actions of two men, acting as individuals, have changed the fates of all humanity. One brought death and destruction to all of mankind. The other promises reconciliation and life to all mankind. Both of these men began in similar circumstances but the outcomes of their lives…
