Romans 8:28

Perhaps you have heard someone express the popular common sentiment of our day by saying, "We are all God's children." But the Bible clearly states that only those who have come to God through faith in Jesus Christ can be called His children. The people of God are those who love God and who have been called by God and all this according to His divine purpose. It is on these grounds alone that all things work together for our eternal good. Listen to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to hear about God's love for His people.

Romans 8:28

Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely imprisoned. He could have fallen into despair and wondered how God could ever bring forth any good from these circumstances. But God eventually worked in Joseph's life in such a way that he could say, "You meant evil against me but God meant it for good in order to bring about, as it is, this day to save many people." He is also causing all things in your life to work together for your ultimate good. Be encouraged on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:28

Sometimes we experience great personal success and spiritual progress; other times we suffer setbacks and seem to take a step backwards. We pass through many watershed events--marriage, the birth of our children, the loss of a job, or a loved one. We also face countless experiences every day which may seem trivial and unimportant, but God is causing all the events of our lives, great and small, tragic and triumphant, to work together for our ultimate good. Hear Dr. Barnhouse's words of encouragement on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:28

We should not be surprised when unbelievers express hostility toward the teachings of God's Word. But surprisingly, there are many Christians who act with animosity against the biblical doctrines of election and predestination. What do the Scriptures teach us about the sovereignty of God and His eternal plan to save sinners according to His sovereign grace? Dr. Barnhouse teaches about the plans of God on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:27

If you knew someone who always prayed in perfect harmony with the will of God and whose prayers were always answered, you would probably ask that person to pray for you. But if you are a believer, you already enjoy this privilege. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit now pray for the people of God according to the will of God. Do you comprehend the great blessing of this Divine intercession on your behalf? Be encouraged to pray confidently on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:26

Perhaps you have experienced a situation in your life that left you speechless. You simply could not find the words to express your thoughts, feelings, and desires. If our words often fail to express what is in our hearts, how much more inadequate are they to express the heart of God? It is impossible for human words to express the unfathomable love of God toward us and His fervent desire for us to grow in holiness and spiritual maturity. Listen to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible from Romans 8:26.

Romans 8:26

In years past, a successful craftsman would hire a boy to serve as his apprentice. The apprentice might make many mistakes at the beginning, but as he took the instruction of the craftsman to heart, his work began to look more like that of his master. As we grow into the likeness of our Lord Jesus Christ, we will understand how to avoid many common mistakes in our prayer lives and learn how to pray more like the Master Himself. Tune in to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to hear how we grow into His likeness.

Romans 8:26

An immigrant who just arrived in America may be unfamiliar with our language and culture. He would probably be disoriented and would not know where to turn for help, but if you spoke his language, you could befriend him and help him find his way in his new country. Many times, we feel lost and do not know God's will or how to pray in certain situations, but in our weakness the Holy Spirit is our friend who comes along side us and help us find our way. Listen to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible about the Holy Spirit's role in prayer.

Romans 8:26

If you saw an old woman struggling to carry some heavy bags, you would probably want to help her. Our Heavenly Father knows that prayer can be a heavy burden for us and He sees us struggle sometimes because we do not know how or what to pray. But He has given us the Holy Spirit to come alongside and help us bear the burden of prayer. In our weakness and uncertainty, the Holy Spirit helps us to pray in harmony with the will of God. Be encouraged on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 8:24,25

A shark must continually go forward because if it stops moving, it will sink to the bottom of the sea. We will sink in our spiritual lives if we focus on the past or our present sufferings and circumstances. But we will grow strong if we keep moving forward with our eyes firmly fixed on Jesus and on the certain hope of everlasting glory with Him. Are you sinking spiritually or pressing forward in a life of hope in the Lord? Dr. Barnhouse shares the message, "A Life of Hope," on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.
