This piece emphasizes the absolute necessity of spiritual regeneration for any work to be acceptable to God, arguing that without the new birth, even outwardly commendable actions remain defective and spiritually dead. It contrasts the external appearance of piety with the internal reality of an unregenerate heart, asserting that true faith is a vital act of the newborn soul rather than a product of natural effort. The text warns that unregenerate prayers and struggles against sin are abominations to the Lord, likening them to the howling of a dog or the stench of a rotten grave. The preacher urges listeners to examine their lives through the Word of God, recognizing their misery and the sinfulness of their state, to prepare the heart for the gospel. Ultimately, the message calls for a deep reliance on the Holy Spirit and the preached Word to bring about the conversion that makes one a new creature in Christ.

Historic creeds continue to serve the church by summarizing biblical truth, strengthening unity, helping believers recognize false teaching, and passing sound doctrine to future generations. In this episode of Contending for the Word Q&A, Dave Jenkins considers Ephesians 4:11–14 and 2 Timothy 2:2 to explain why creeds remain useful today. Their value rests in their faithfulness to Scripture. The Bible alone is our final authority, and every creed, confession, and teaching must be tested by God's Word.

As easy as we have it in the United States there are Christians all over the world that are suffering for their faith. Many families are hurting today because of a loved one that's been apprehended and incarcerated, some even killed. As a whole, Christian persecution around the globe is on the increase. It's been reported that roughly 1 in 7 Christians worldwide are facing persecution. That number is hard to fathom. These are brothers and sisters in Christ whom we will one day meet in heaven. "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body." — Hebrews 13:3 There's a special day coming up that's being emphasized when churches everywhere pray for the persecuted church. It's called the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. Joining Jim to tell listeners about it during the first half of this broadcast was Todd Nettleton.
