I’ve been accused of many things in my life, but having nice-looking feet wasn’t one of them! First of all, my feet are rather large and wide -- the result of growing up on Oahu with an aversion to shoes.

In Romans chapter 9, Paul presented God’s elective sovereignty in salvation In Romans 10, He presents the role of human responsibility in salvation The fact is that the Bible teaches both God’s sovereignty and man’s responsibility. They are two sides of the same coin and, though difficult to fully understand, it must be accepted by faith.

The Epic Life

There was a time when almost everyone believed that the earth was the center of the universe and that all the other planetary bodies rotated around the earth. But in 1543 a Polish Astronomer named Copernicus published a book showing that the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of our solar system. But his theories were scoffed at and rejected as the musings of a “mad scientist.” However, in the early 17th century another astronomer named Galileo, armed with a new invention called the telescope, demonstrated the truth of the Copernican theory and was eventually condemned for heresy during the time of the Great Inquisition. The Roman Catholic Church believed that this new theory was a threat to God and Christianity.

Romans chapter 7 was Paul’s autobiographical description of what it is like to live the Christian life in the strength of the flesh or self-effort. It is impossible! Paul’s agonizing conclusion is that his own strength was insufficient to conquer his fleshly tendency to sin.

Romans 7:14-15 is quite challenging and the subject of much debate. The question is this: Is Paul talking about his life as an unbeliever, as a carnal Christian or as a struggling believer?
