Romans 12I appeal to you, therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and…

As we locate ourselves in the entirety of Romans 8, it seems clear that God calls Christians to be where the world is in pain so that in them, God, by his Spirit, may be where the world is in pain.Let’s look at a few ways to translate Romans 8:28: And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called ac…

Mark’s account of Jesus in Gethsemane, 14:32-42, vividly illustrates what the heart of Romans 8 is getting at. In fact, the only time Jesus uses the Aramaic, Abba, Father, is in Mark 14:36. Paul, in Romans 8:15, links these two scenes together as Jesus imprints a vocational pattern of lament for the state of the world, in labor pains, until His fin…

Romans 8:1-11We are flying high over Romans 8, limiting my focus to Paul’s contrast between living in the flesh and living in the Spirit. Understanding and participating in these realities will determine how we live as Christians, and better understand our struggles and longings for greater devotion to the Lord. Paul uses two repeating NOUNS and tw…

Matthew 17:14f. Jesus is telling his disciples that though they have faith, it needs more development to address the mountains coming their way in life and ministry.
