Brainwashed for Jesus

What is redemption and how can get it? Before we continue to move forward through Romans, we must understand d these key concepts that Paul lays out here in “the central place of the Bible.” In doing so we can begin to learn how “salvation belongs to the Lord.” I pray this study is a blessing to you.

So we now know that we are all sinners and due God’s wrath, but how can we get the righteousness we need to be justified? Today we come to the “central place of the entire Bible” and see just how different the true Gospel is from Roman Catholic dogma. Over the next few studies we will explain the beautiful nature of this true Gospel. I pray this study is a blessing to you.

Today’s episode has us studying out Paul’s conclusion to a lot of the thoughts he’s developed in chapters 1-3. This culminates in the question - If all of us are guilty, how can we be justified? Paul shows us that works of the law are not a solution to this dire need we all have to be justified which will then lead us to the One who can bring us justification. I pray this study is a blessing to you. You can reach out to me on Twitter @Deanlentini or Instagram @GrumpyBaptist . Soli Deo Gloria!

So we know we all sinful but are each one of ALL sinful? What is total

depravity and am I totally depraved? Today we talk about the sinfulness of

man as Paul shifts from quieting his internal critic to moving forward with

his overall argument of the verdict handed down to all by the Judge.

Today we begin to answer a question that will linger throughout the rest of

Romans - How can God be both sovereign and good while man suffers in sin?

Paul’s first true “heckler” moment is spent arguing about how if our sin in

a way brings glory to God then why should I be condemned for it? It’s a

complicate question, but today we begin to find a reliable and inspired

answer.I hope today’s study is helpful to you. Soli Deo Gloria!

On today’s episode we turn our attention to Romans 3. Some have called this specific section the most difficult paragraph to understand in the entire epistle. Is that true? What was the use of having the OT Law if Gentiles

were on the same level as the Jewish people?

Why did God require circumcision? Did it mean all Jews were saved? I the

closing section of Romans 2, Paul answers this and helps us to understand

that God is after our hearts not our physical obedience only. I pray this

is helpful to you. Soli Dei Gloria!

Does living in “Christian” country or culture matter? On this episode we

continue to work our way through Romans 2 and Paul’s explanation of the

Judge that all will owe an explanation in the end. We turn our focus to

those who have the law and both their responsibility in keeping that law

and failure in doing so.

On today’s Marking Up the Word episode we dive deep into Paul’s developing argument about the Judge and His validity in judging all who have sinned. In doing so we answer the question “Can Someone be saved without the Gospel?”

This week we continue making our way through Romans 2. As we begin to see

the true bones of what Paul is arguing is the true nature of the Gospel, we

will examine several aspects about the Supreme Judge - God. If you have any
