  • The brutal honesty of the Bible, as it pertains to the sinful condition we find ourselves in, turns out to be very comforting.
    May you find the hope and freedom that starts with a real honest evaluation of self and ends with Jesus Christ as your deliverer!

    This is particularly telling for me as I accepted Christ in my youth (10). My sin-O-meter has redlined exponentially in the intervening 37 years. I am saved, but have disappointed my Savior.

    My goodness, Paul really spoke my heart it's amazing. I hate what I do, and what I want to do, I dont do! How wretched I am indeed. Jesus is my only hope. He's really our only hope

    I recall probably 7 or 8 years after coming to know Christ, I came across a little booklet titled “But How…(to perform, I find not)” based on Romans 7. I still recall where I was the moment the “lightbulb” went off in my soul and I realized, I am supposed to learn THAT I CAN’T DO IT. That all my righteousness is STILL as filthy rags. I can tell you, it was a holy moment that I will never forget. I’ve now been a Christian 53 years, and He is still teaching me the depth and beauty of His ingenious plan to live IN us, His people. BTW, for anyone interested, I highly recommend reading the biography of missionary Hudson Taylor. You will learn how he discovered this truth and what it meant as he ministered in the China Inland Mission.

    Hi Mike. I randomly came across your channel very recently and have listened/watched your videos continously because of your authentic presentation of the bible. Thank you for the encouraging, thought-provoking and truthful messages and analysis of God's word.

    Please, my brothers and sisters, pray for a friend of mine, Linda Byrd Kimble, who claims to believe that she is currently in the here and now sinless, perfect, inerrant, and infallible, totally free of sin in any way, thought, word, or deed, that she always does what she ought to and never does what she should not now in her new life through Christ, so she professes total deliverance not only from the penalty and bondage/dominion to sin, but that she also has a perfect will that is 100% aligned with God's will such they she has never sins or falls short or stumbled or misses the mark at all now in her broken body in this fallen world...if I am in error in believing that is impossible for her, then may I be corrected by the Holy Spirit to rightly interpret His Word on this.

  • @StretchJED

    Romans 7 is NOT me!! We are FREE from sin; Romans 6 states that several times and in several ways.

    Really good teaching. I was walking with the Lord and then I fell into an old familiar sin. I detest it and I know its disgusting but I did it anyway. I so want freedom from sin. I know it is a part of sanctification but I still find it so heavy.

    + Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved."

    I remember reading about a serial killer, who would do absolutely horrific things to his victims before murdering them. At the end of the article, it said (quite plain and simple) 'and three days before his death in prison, he converted to Christianity'. Jesus really challenged me then and there, because my initial instinct was disgust. How could Jesus save such a horrible person! Surely he didn't

    Personally, I recognized my wretchedness and that is what led me to see my need and put my faith in Christ.

    Romans 7 is me too. We can all relate to Paul in this scripture. Ive lost count of the times when I really have not liked myself. I was just thinking of Amazing Grace as you said it Mike. My favourite hymn. They are simple words and yet they hold so much power in them. I cant help being moved to tears whenever I hear it. Thanks.
