The Gospel Manifesto in the Book of Romans Pt. 8: Engaging My Culture By Louie Marsh, 6-15-2025 1) I engage my culture by overcoming evil by DOING GOOD. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:14-21 (ESV) · I respond to cultural rejection by HELPING THOSE who hurt me. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 17 Repay no one evil for evil, 19 Beloved, never avenge yourselves 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good · RESIST the temptation to always cheer people up. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. · I focus on lifting up others NOT MYSELF. . 16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. · I leave the bringing of justice to GOD. 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good 2) I engage my culture by UNDERSTANDING authority. 1 Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, 4 for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore one must be in subjection, not only to avoid God's wrath but also for the sake of conscience. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for the authorities are ministers of God, attending to this very thing. 7 Pay to all what is owed to them: taxes to whom taxes are owed, revenue to whom revenue is owed, respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed. Romans 13:1-7 (ESV) · God instituted authority to stop ANARCHY. · I must obey the authorities UNTIL & UNLESS they contradict God's Word. 18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20 for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:18-20 (ESV) · Yes, this includes NOT CHEATING on my taxes. 3) I engage my culture by living a life of LOVE. 8 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. 9 For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet,” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Romans 13:8-10 (ESV) · Get & stay out of debt ASAP so you'll be free to serve God. · The moral/sexual law of God is fulfilled by RESPECTING others. 4) I engage my culture by ACTING like Jesus not them. 11 Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. 12 The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. 13 Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. 14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. Romans 13:11-14 (ESV)

This vivid imagery sets the stage for a deeper discussion on the nature of humanity, the inputs that shape our actions, and the spiritual battles we face daily. Listeners will be challenged to consider their own responses to life's temptations and how our inherent tendencies toward evil can be influenced by external circumstances.

Through a biblical lens, he draws upon various scriptures to highlight the sovereignty of God over the forces at play in our lives. As Clint delves into the concept of inputs and outputs, he invites listeners to reflect on their own experiences and the moments that have tested their character. He discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in transforming our responses and guiding us toward righteousness, reminding us that we are not alone in this struggle. This episode serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of staying attuned to God's voice amidst the distractions and temptations of the world. Join Clint for this engaging exploration of faith, temptation, and the dynamics of good and evil that shape our lives. Discover how embracing the Holy Spirit can lead to profound changes in our actions and reactions, ultimately guiding us toward a life aligned with God's purpose.
“We are helpers of our children's joy. We build their love for God and His Word and their discipline to carry it out....And think of the impact their lives will have as they stand for God. And think how we're helping them to earn eternal rewards by doing this.” In this episode, Hunter Mullins interviews two generations of fathers—Rev. Bill Greene and Rev. Chandler Greene—to gain insight into what God's Word says about fatherhood. These dedicated ministers dive into topics like balancing priorities as a father, how God sets the example as our heavenly Father, and effectively raising up children with God's unconditional love. Packed with deep insight and honest reflection between this father-son duo, this is an episode you won't want to miss!

Jesus told his follows to turn the other cheek, go the extra mile, and give the shirt off your back. From our vantage point, this sounds like instruction on how to be a nice person. To the original audience however, it was coaching on nonviolent resistance.
Living as a saint means actively participating in God's kingdom work through sincere love and humble service. This involves loving without conditions, taking emotional risks, and being willing to have difficult conversations when necessary. True Christian love holds others accountable while considering them more important than ourselves, demonstrating genuine care without expecting anything in return.This lifestyle requires avoiding spiritual laziness while maintaining fervor in serving God. Christians are called to share with those in need, pursue hospitality, and live in harmony through humility. When faced with persecution, the response should be blessing rather than revenge, maintaining peace whenever possible, and focusing on eternal matters. This includes practical actions like helping enemies and viewing the world through Scripture's perspective rather than conforming to worldly patterns.Support the show
In this sermon, Pastor Karl explores Romans 12, where Paul shifts from 11 chapters of doctrine—God's mercy and grace through Christ—to a call for transformed living. He unpacks verses 1-2, urging believers to offer themselves as "living sacrifices," choosing holiness and renewing their minds to discern God's will, contrasting worldly conformity with the metamorphosis of a Christ-centered life. Pastor Karl emphasizes that knowing truth must lead to doing and becoming, using personal anecdotes to highlight how a renewed mind sparks a shifted life.Focusing on verses 3-21, Pastor Karl examines spiritual gifts like prophecy, service, and mercy, suggesting Romans 12 offers the core list for expounding God's Word or expanding His work, encouraging their use over mere possession. He outlines practical transformation—genuine love, abhorring evil, honoring others, and overcoming evil with good—stressing that our lives preach a sermon to those around us. This message challenges us to reject conformity and fully embrace a life that reflects God's grace.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Sammy: “We know that when the gospel of Jesus Christ goes out, it goes out to bring salvation, but also healing and deliverance. That's the mission of Jesus.”[21:02] On Evangelism, Healing, and Deliverance Reagan: “I think that's the missing link sometimes. Evangelism, healing, and deliverance go together.”Believers need to carry God's mission forward.When the gospel is preached, we set captives free from demons and heal the sick.[24:02] Casting Demons Away People might be possessed by demons without being aware of it.Occult practices can give the devil access and control over a person's flesh.God initially granted humanity authority over the Earth. However, through Adam and Eve's fall, this authority was relinquished to Satan.When we receive Christ, our allegiance shifts, and the demon no longer has legal authority over us.[33:50] Light and Darkness There is no middle ground; we must choose to be fully in the light or in the darkness.False churches claim to walk in between, yet this is impossible.Deliverance is essential and ought to be welcomed. Sammy: “Those that will claim that they are walking in between, you cannot. You're either in the light or in the darkness. As Jesus says, you're either hot or cold. You can't be lukewarm, I'll spew you out.”[36:46] Generational Curses If we want to fully experience God's grace in our lives and have an impact on others, we must identify and renounce generational hindrances.Generational curses are real and require intentional prayer and renunciation.We experience the eternal and present consequences of walking in God's freedom when we embrace the fullness of His might and break free from entanglements.[39:30] On Demonic InfluenceChristians cannot be owned by demonic influences but can be influenced or oppressed by them.Satan attempted to influence and manipulate Jesus throughout His ministry.Even Church leaders may be demonized, leading to actions that contradict God's will.Satan exploits our fleshly desires, thus emphasizing the importance of living by the Spirit to avoid giving room for demonic influence.[45:12] Completing The Book of ActsThe book of Acts is a continuation of God's work through the body of Christ, and it is still ongoing today.Believers are called to walk in the fullness of God's power until Jesus returns.The power and manifestation of God's work through the Church and believers are present and active in the world today.[51:40] Training Christians to Cast Away DemonsConfronting the demons requires wisdom and discernment. Not every instance requires immediate engagement.Deliverance from demonic influence is by invitation; It is important to discern the readiness and openness of people.Sharing the gospel and leading someone to Christ can grant authority to drive out evil and bring people freedom and joy.[58:07] On Sharing the GospelSharing the gospel is a lifestyle and should be integrated into our daily interactions.Bible studies provide an opportunity to bring individuals closer to Jesus Christ and should not be missed.Politeness should not prevent us from offering people the opportunity to give their lives to Christ.Seizing every opportunity to share the gospel helps others come to Christ and protects them from spiritual dangers.Planting seeds of truth paves the way for future opportunities to bring others closer to the Lord.[01:00:48] Demons are Always PresentDemons are constantly active and work through cultural expressions and channels.Satan wants people to think he doesn't exist, operating incognito to cause devastation.Many issues attributed to medical or psychological origins may have demonic roots that require prayer and spiritual intervention.Deliverances and healings in Africa revealed the connection between demonic influence and physical ailments, emphasizing the need for spiritual discernment.[01:08:19] Lean on God's PowerThe Holy Spirit dwells within us and can bring healing to our physical bodies.Healing extends beyond physical diseases, including emotional, mental, and spiritual renewal.Testimonies of healing serve as powerful reminders of God's faithfulness and encourage us to seek His healing touch in our lives.[01:10:40] Starting God's Mission Recognize the burning passion in your heart as a sign from the Holy Spirit.Spend time with the Lord, seek His guidance and fill yourself with the power of the Holy Spirit.Be passionate in proclaiming the gospel and His authority in every situation.Approach your church with humility and wisdom, converse with your pastor and respect their authority while sharing Lord's promptings.[01:14:35] Sammy's Book on Deliverance His ministry focuses on evangelistic outreach and regularly conducts training sessions.Sammy has been reading numerous books and is currently working on writing a comprehensive guide on deliverance.The manifestations and deliverance experienced during his campaigns highlight the power of God to expel demonic influences and bring salvation, deliverance, and grace to people's lives.[01:16:33] Biggest Miracle in Sammy's Ministry The greatest miracle is experiencing salvation and encountering the saving grace of Jesus Christ.Sammy's ministry emphasizes the importance of encountering Jesus rather than focusing purely on healing and deliverance.His ministry cherishes the powerful moments when God's work is manifested in people's lives.About Sammy WanyonyiExperienced World Missionary Leader Sammy Wanyonyi has a burning desire to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The noted 20th century scientist Albert Einstein said, “I do not fear the explosive power of the atom bomb. What I fear is the explosive power of evil in the human heart.” What combats evil in the human heart? The fruit of the Spirit. The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We all need this fruit to ward off the power of evil in our hearts and truly follow and serve Jesus.

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE: This episode of Jesus Stories concludes the interview we started with Dennis about a month ago (Episode #3-16 Encounter with Evil). Dennis shares how with the help of his newfound Savior, Jesus, he begins to overcome the evil which has been tormenting him. Because of the length of the interview, this episode is a bit longer than what I usually post. But, it is important to hear the whole story and understand the victory he is enjoying.

Are you a Californian who feels like your views on politics in California are not popular? Do you feel like no one will agree with you? Feels like when you meet someone who does agree you are part of a secret underground club of people who think like you? Then join us on the California Underground Podcast to hear others who share your views and solutions to save our beautiful state. In this episode, Phil and Camille interview Jacob and Kara, founders of the Christian Caucus of the Libertarian Party. They discuss the formation of the caucus and its purpose in bringing together Christians and libertarians. Takeaways The Christian Caucus of the Libertarian Party aims to provide a home for Christians in the party and promote the intersection of Christianity and libertarianism. Christianity and libertarianism are compatible as both philosophies emphasize individual freedom, non-aggression, and limited government. Misconceptions about libertarianism and Christianity can be addressed by understanding the principles and values that underpin both ideologies. The state should not be relied upon to solve societal problems, as it often leads to unintended consequences and the violation of individual rights. Limited government and free markets offer more effective and efficient solutions to societal issues, while allowing individuals to exercise personal responsibility. Government officials should be held to the same moral standards as individuals. Addressing both spending and revenue is necessary to solve budgetary problems. Supporting and voting for nonprofits can be an effective way to address societal issues. The lack of accountability in government and the profit motive behind certain problems need to be recognized. Christians should find their political home and advocate for change through issue coalitions, overcoming evil with good.

A Move of God in Our Generation - Part 10 | Spiritual attack and demonic forces are contentious topics in the church. Some maintain that such things are very distant from the mundane considerations of modern believers, while others see spiritual evil in everyday hardships. In this episode, Gary Wilkerson and Joshua West discuss spiritual evil and the goodness of God as well as how those two aspects of the supernatural intersect with believers' ordinary lives. Scripture is frank about the existence of spiritual forces, but how should we interact with them?View the show notes: https://wcm.link/gwp253c

John Bunyan called believing “sweating work”. He once wrote, “He that undertakes to believe, sets upon the hardest task that ever was proposed to man…” In this episode I'm talking a little bit about what it means to overcome evil. We'll talk about the reality of the battle we are in, as well as the fact that our Jesus has ultimately bought us victory. We'll talk of the communal nature of the battle and I'll share a little of my own experience--- I'll even share a vulnerable piece, with you, at the end that I wrote during a writing exercise.

Strength to Strength welcomed Stephen Russell to discuss radical peacemaking.The early church and the first Anabaptists heard not only that God loves us and wants to save us, but they also heard, more clearly than many other Christians, that turning to Jesus has definite and clear implications, namely, that God's people are to cooperate with Him so that His grace will change us on the inside, thus enabling us more fully and effectively to be His ambassadors to a lost, hurting world.Today we will look at the biblical, historical, and theological foundations of nonresistance and perhaps consider some practical ideas for living as peacemakers (the literal word used in the Sermon on the Mount) in a very violent, hate-wracked world.An interactive question-and-answer period follows.
