Guerrilla Christianity

The Bible in 25 Minutes a Day: Day 4 reading (Genesis chapters 23 to 27).

The finale to our Riches in Romans series brings to a fine point the central theme of the Gospel. Why does God show grace to sinners? Why did Christ go to the cross for my sins? What sets Christians apart from other people? When faced with unlocking the mysteries of faith, we find that love is the key.

The common thread throughout the reading today is "Let love be genuine." By this we will examine all the exhortations of Paul to the church in Rome. What does genuine love look like? In order to avoid the counterfeit, we must first know what the genuine looks like, and Paul gives us a glimpse into genuine love through his teaching today.

Paul exhorts the church in Rome to not be conformed to the ways of the world (in contrast to the ways of God), but to be transformed (completely remade in God's image) by the renewing of our minds.

We often talk about God's grace, but what is the difference between grace and mercy? Where is the evidence in the Bible of God's mercy? Is it only a New Testament ideal or is God's mercy demonstrated in the Old Testament as well?

Romans 11:1-2a,29-32

If all we have to do to be saved is to confess Jesus as Lord and believe that God raised him from the dead, then why don't more people do it? In fact, if it's that simple, then why isn't the entire world saved already?

On August 13, along with our Bishop, I called upon our congregation to pray for an end to racism and for peace between the US and Korea.

Paul agonized over the salvation of his fellow Jews.  How could he see that Christ was the Messiah and others could not?  He begins to set up the urgent need for proclaiming the gospel to a people in need of salvation.

Romans 9:1-18

What happens when we try to make bargains with God?  What does it say about our faith that we do not trust Him to be faithful to the promises He gives us in scripture?
