Romans 2:13 says that "the doers of the law shall be justified." Romans 3:20 says that "by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified." Did Paul teach justification by keeping the law? Did Paul contradict himself? Chelsea returns to co-host this episode as we summarize Paul's arguments in Romans chapter 1 through 3. We believe Paul was …

On Saturday, July 13, at a rally in Pennsylvania, former President Trump was giving an outdoor speech. Six minutes into it, gunshots were fired! The President felt one round whiz by his head. A second one bloodied his right ear. He ducked in the nick of time to avoid a third one that likely wouldn't have missed. Thankfully, he was Ok. He expressed …

Does the account of the rich, young ruler in the gospels show that Jesus taught that we could obtain eternal life by keeping the commandments of the law to the best of our ability? It can seem that way--unless we really pay attention. Let's not gloss over the lesson Jesus taught not only to this rich, young man, but also to His disciples around Him…

We have heard the saying that the two most certain things are death and taxes. Rarely do governments repeal any of the many taxes they impose. However, a bunch of politicians in Congress and some in the Senate want to "repeal" a certain "tax" as a matter of social justice. This "tax" is the so-called "pink tax." Because women may pay more on averag…
