Suffering is given to produce a godlike character inside of us.

Apart from Christ, we are all in debt, and what we owe are not taxes, but death. 

When we become too cynical and skeptical we can miss the work of God in our life. Does God have enough of your heart to where He can still surprise you?

Being a Christian is not about saying a prayer, coming to church, and then leaving.  Being a Christian is about walking in the way; with the living God who is real and who interacts with us, who we pray to and He actually responds. 

In his passage, Paul is not trying to explain the effects of justification, he is explaining the conditions under which justification takes place. 

Our good friend Eric Metaxas joins us to share a message from his latest book "Letter to the American Church" 

Salvation is based on faith.

What the gospel is, really. 

Jesus came to free us from the constant blowing and gnawing of sin on our souls.

In times and seasons there are moments that can change the hearts of a person or nation. Perhaps God has allowed affliction so we may learn His ways.
