I know it is wrong, and I do it anyway. Why? In Romans 7:20-25, St. Paul names the war inside every believer, and Father Genard Lazar walks through it: the law of God in the mind, and the law of sin in the members.Paul is clear that the body is not sin. Mortality is the outcome of sin, and our bodily members become the instrument through which passions and desires seek dominion. Father Genard puts it plainly: if your conscience is burning you, you are in a good place. The danger is when it goes quiet. Those who sin in secret, thinking no one knows, are reminded that God is the surveillance camera, and what is hidden will be revealed.Then the members are redirected. Eyes that look to lust can instead see creation and a brother or sister. Legs can walk to church, to Bible study, to people who need you. Hands can give help and charity instead of harm. But knowing the good is not enough. Like the gambler who has emptied the savings account and promises to repay every cent, knowing does not set us free. Paul's cry, "O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from this mortal body?", leads to his answer: thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.Key takeaways• The body is not sin; mortality is the outcome of sin, and sin uses our members• A burning conscience is a gift. Don't neglect it, and don't hide your sin• Use your eyes, legs, and hands for holiness, not evil• Knowing the good cannot free us; deliverance comes through Jesus ChristListen, share, and let the double-edged sword do its work in you today.

Does Titus 3:9 teach Christians to avoid discussing God's law?Some use Paul's warning about "foolish controversies" and "quarrels about the law" to dismiss conversations about sin, obedience, and accountability. But is that what Paul was actually addressing?In this teaching, we examine Titus 3:9 in its biblical and historical context, exploring the genealogical disputes Paul was warning against and why those concerns should not be confused with teaching believers to obey God's commandments. Discover why confronting sin in love is not a foolish controversy but an essential part of discipleship and the Great Commission.Key Scriptures Titus 3:9 Matthew 28:19–20 1 John 3:4 Romans 3:20 Romans 7:7 Numbers 15:22–31 Psalm 119:105 Matthew 5:17–19

If we say with the Apostle Paul that "law is spiritual" can't that lead to antinomianism? Does a fear of antinomianism lurk behind the thinking of some theonomists? Is it behind the rhetoric of some abortion abolitionists who recently castigated all who did not think that Tennessee's legislators should make an abortive mother indictable either for first or second degree murder? Paul gives all those interested in law and public policy something to chew on.

Today begins a consideration of the relationship the regenerate have to “the law of God.” What was missing in my understanding of that relationship was a fully-developed, biblically sound understanding what is meant by image of God. I believe the phrase has become a shibboleth in a society of unregenerate persons, and is a mystery even for many Christians. I explain why and offer two consequences of a wrong or incomplete understanding of that image.
Without a sound Biblical content to the words, "image of God," the term becomes a shibboleth, something of little importance. Without that, today's policy debates become equivocal, and Christians can’t fully appreciate why Paul wrote that “the law is spiritual” (Romans 7:14). So, what is the image of God. That is the focus of today's episode.Support the show: https://www.factennessee.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Exodus 20 // Jonathan NeefIn this teaching on Exodus 20, we look at the heart of the biblical law and the significance of the Ten Commandments. The sermon breaks down the two sections of the tablets: the first focusing on our devotion to God—prohibiting idols and honoring his name—and the second focusing on our conduct toward our neighbors. We discuss the awe-inspiring atmosphere of the mountain, the thunder and lightning that accompanied his voice, and the role of Moses as a mediator.

Westminster Confession of Faith, Ch 19: Of the Law of God
Free Grace Baptist Church, Chilliwack, BC
The Pharisees set a trap for Jesus, asking about divorce to damage His reputation and divide the crowd. Dr. John Neufeld explores Matthew 19:3-9, where Jesus bypasses competing rabbis and points straight to Scripture, teaching God's original design for lifelong marriage while addressing the reality of hard hearts. This episode reminds us that standing behind the shield of Scripture is the key to navigating divisive questions with truth and grace.The Ministry of Our Lord: Join Dr. John Neufeld for a journey through Matthew 19-20, where Jesus makes His final trip to Jerusalem. The crowds are growing, expecting triumph and glory. But what Jesus teaches is startling: humility over greatness, sacrifice over power. This Messiah will not rule from a throne—He will reign from a cross. Discover what it means to follow a suffering King.
