Loving and living with believers of differing perspectives in non-absolutes is part of life. We've considered our responsibility to not condemn or condescend, and to be fully convinced. Is this the end of the matter? Are there still other issues to consider?

Not until we arrive in glory will we all think exactly the same on every single issue. Until then, how are we to relate to one another, especially when we hold opinions in diametric opposition to each other?

The Unpayable Debt

Being transformed through the renewal of our minds brings a radical change in our relationships. But what about on a broader scale? Are there implications for how we live in society at large?

A love-drenched life of service is hard enough; what do we do when others seriously mistreat us? Is there a Godpel (a good-news) response toward them?

So what does it look like to be a living sacrifice, being transformed with renewed minds and having sound judgment based on the grace-driven good news? An awfully lot like Jesus, it turns out.

When it comes to living out the Gospel...presenting ourselves radically to Christ in view of the Gospel, the primary battlefield might surprise us.

A common complaint regarding "expository preaching" is that it fails to be genuinely practical -- applicable to NEVER be the case, especially from Romans, and especially in chapter 12 through the end of the letter. Application on steroids!
