Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith. So we are made right with God through faith and not by obeying the law. (Romans 3:27–28) As I drove to my friends’ house, I […]

General Facts from God’s Word, Part 1

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God Romans 3:23 NASB I want to draw from the Scripture four statements that you can know for a fact, that you can rely on and ultimately act on. These facts are not limited to the sin of abortion, but they certainly would include […]

Accept God’s Forgiveness

So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Romans 8:1 Today I want to write to you who have had an abortion. I hope my words will help you. I also write to you who have aided in an abortion medically . . . or have encouraged someone you love […]

Evidences of His Presence

The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him in order that we may also be glorified with Him. Romans 8:16–17 NASB How do we recognize the Spirit’s ministry? Within us […]

When the Spirit Takes Control

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22–23 NASB Good news! You don’t have to serve our old master, sin, any longer! By the Spirit’s filling, evidences of our new nature emerge. So what occurs? What, for example, […]

The Spirit . . . My Sin

Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an […]

A Probing Question

“Truly, truly I say to you, the one who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these will he do; because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12 NASB After relating the shocking, supernatural changes that resulted from the Spirit taking up residence inside the […]

Think Theologically

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. For example, we don’t know what God wants us to pray for. But the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words. And the Father who knows all hearts knows what the Spirit is saying, for the Spirit pleads for us […]
