Relentless Truth with John Warren

John continues his discussion in Romans on the powerful truths of the righteousness of God and justification by faith today on Relentless Truth.

Any study of the Roman Empire is interesting, but Rome during the First Century is fascinating. They worshipped idols, actual stone, gold, and silver images, that represented gods of various types. In fact, the Christians of this period would have been considered atheists of sorts for not believing in the commonly worshipped religious symbols. A large group of Jewish people was exiled during this period, and this person named Jesus caused quite an uproar as his very fresh story was told in Rome.

Many have wondered why the Apostle Paul wrote his compendium of theology to the church at Rome – the New Testament book commonly referred to as Romans. The simple answer is that he was about to embark on a dangerous journey to Jerusalem, and he had heard about the strength of this church in Rome and wanted to give them his complete theological knowledge.

The primary theme of the book/letter is The Righteousness of God, and another theme is Justification by Faith. This episode begins a series on this amazing book of the Bible with its beautiful depth. I’m breaking the pattern of varying topics with various guests to focus on Romans for a series of weeks because these truths changed my life. They changed the way I see God, my view of man, and my understanding of how God relates to man. They gave me peace with a knowledge of how God actually saves us and causes us to grow in the faith.

I grew up and spent many years of my young adult life not understanding how we are reconciled to God. I really didn’t understand sin, our purpose, and redemption. I failed to see how justification by faith actually works. I struggled with doubts and fears, and I remembered unhelpful sermons and lessons that exacerbated these challenges.

Due in large part to my study of the work of several strong theologians, God used the book of Romans to change my life many years ago. Paul’s ability to pull back the camera to show us the larger truths that he is communicating, helped me understand doctrines that confused me for years.

In this very practical episode, I discuss the current state of the economy. I talk about interest rates, inflation, the supply chain, and other matters that concern all of us.

I explain economic indicators, the stock market, and seemingly contradictory data that is perplexing to the consumer. I try to anticipate your weight questions on your personal economics – your personal household economy.

What is actually happening in the economy? How do we separate fact from fiction in this volatile environment? Can we trust the financial press? What are we to do to react to these changes in the economy?

How do we keep pace with inflation and the rising prices that we see on essential goods? What is consumer choice theory? How do consumers express demand?

I take on these important issues in this timely episode of Relentless Truth. I explain the tools utilized by The Federal Reserve to accomplish its mandates from Congress. Why is the FED raising interest rates, and what are they hoping to accomplish by doing this? The answer to this and other questions will unlock some of the mystery in these frightening economic times.

I walk through a step-by-step process that we can all employ now to protect ourselves. I discuss our government’s role in the economy including their perceived and actual impact on the economic issues impacting all of us. I talk about government spending and monetary policy and a straightforward, helpful way.

In this episode, I explain that government doesn’t generate wealth – it redistributes wealth. I discuss the need to balance the Federal budget and the implications of this on the economy. I call for all Christians to vote for Congress and other representatives who will actually protect our long-term economic interests.

We close these thoughts with our great hope in Jesus Christ. These unpredictable economic conditions should drive us to the cross and to rest in our Lord.
