Romans Overview The Question of Sin (3:23) The Question of Salvation (4:5) The Question of Sanctification (6:16) The Question of Sovereignty (11:33-36) The Question of Service (12:1-2) More to Consider Rome As early as the second century b.c., a Jewish colony existed in Rome. After 63 b.c., when Judea became a part of the Roman Empire, this colony grew. By 59 b.c. Cicero wrote of it as powerful and influential. At times the Jews suffered expulsion from Rome, and as in an a.d. 19 financial scandal. Yet, within a few years the Jews would drift back again to this center of finance, trade, and political power. In a.d. 49 Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome in an act mentioned in Acts 18:2. Strikingly, the historian Suetonius said that the cause of Claudius' action was the "constant indulgence of the Jews in riots at the instigation of one Chrestus." Apparently the message of Christ divided the Jewish community at Rome and, as it did in the cities to which Paul journeyed on his missions, provoked bitter and violent controversy! Priscilla and Aquila, whom we meet later in this letter and who are mentioned in Acts 18, were apparently converted at this time. They were already believers when Paul met them. Claudius' expulsion edict, like the earlier ones, had no lasting effect. A few years later the Jewish colony again flourished and, as before, included Jewish believers in Christ. By the time Paul wrote this letter to the Romans, a large number of Gentile and Jewish Christians comprised a typical church. Paul had longed to go to Rome, both to minister to the believers there and to be encouraged by them. But he was not able to go just then. So instead Paul sent a lengthy letter. In his letter we have our most careful, thorough, and detailed explanation of that Gospel which God called Paul to preach. In Galatians we catch glimpses of themes that Paul now fully develops. As we study Romans, we see that in Christ, God has truly taken a new and dynamic approach to the question of righteousness. The cage of the Law was designed to restrain unrighteousness. The freedom of the Gospel is designed to produce in man the righteousness of God. "In the Gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last" Teacher's Commentary Chrysostom, one of the early church fathers, had the epistle read to him twice a week. And it was Coleridge who said that the Epistle to the Romans was the most profound writing that exists. Further, we find that one of the great scientists turned to this book, and he found that it gave a real faith. This man, Michael Faraday, was asked on his deathbed by a reporter, "What are your speculations now?" Faraday said, "I have no speculations. My faith is firmly fixed in Christ my Savior who died for me, and who has made a way for me to go to heaven." Thru The Bible with J. Vernon McGee. On May 24, 1738, a discouraged missionary went "very unwillingly" to a religious meeting in London. There a miracle took place. "About a quarter before nine," he wrote in his journal, "I felt my heart strangely warmed. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation; and an assurance was given me that He had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death." That missionary was John Wesley. The message he heard that evening was the preface to Martin Luther's commentary on Romans. Bible Exposition Commentary New Testament, Volume 1.

Today's conversation is the second half of our last episode on Solomon—the wisest man to ever live (until Jesus, of course), the son of David and the one who finally built the temple.  We'll look in awe at how the presence of God showed up at the dedication of the temple, and we'll marvel at the reality that we now get to experience that same presence living within us—and that our truest identity is found in that presence. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

From the Tim DeMoss Show archive we feature conversations with Nancy Finley (niece of Oakland A's owner Charles O. Finley) on her book Finley Ball: How Two Baseball Outsiders Turned the Oakland A's into a Dynasty, Steve Shwetz (Thru The Bible with J Vernon McGee host and chairman) regarding the work and ministry of Thru The Bible (which airs weekdays at 5am on WFIL), and legendary Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Dion on his book The Rock 'N Roll Philosopher.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In today's conversation, we're going to pick up where we left off last year in our Thru the Bible series with the 3rd king of Israel—the wisest man to ever live (until Jesus, of course), the son of David and the one who finally built the temple—Solomon. We'll see how the feeling of inadequacy at the onset of a new calling tends to result in a beautiful humility and holy understanding of our need for God—and that when we need wisdom, all we have to do is ask for it. We'll see the gracious, loving, abundant heart of our Father God, who delights to not only meet our needs, but also to give us abundantly more than we can ask or imagine. We'll look in awe at how the presence of God showed up at the dedication of the temple, and we'll marvel at the reality that we now get to experience that same presence living within us—and that our truest identity is found in that presence. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to wrap up the story of David, but we'll go backwards before we move forward in order to understand the desire David had to build the temple—a desire which he did not get to fulfill, or see fulfilled in his lifetime. However, we'll see that although David did not get to accomplish this desire himself, he did have a role to play in its accomplishment. David was called to make the preparations for the next generation to build the temple, and we'll talk about the importance of viewing our own lives through a broader, multi-generational lens. We'll observe from David's last words how the basis of life in God's story still boils down to good vs. evil, and we'll see that every one of our gifts matter in that story—the seemingly lesser ones having just as much value as the seemingly greater ones. And, we'll see the beginning of the lineage which God ordained before the foundation of the earth to usher in our Savior. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to take a bit of a sharp turn, as we fast-forward to a rather unexpected story in the life of David—the story of David and Bathsheba. We'll face the reality that if we're not careful, comfortability can breed complacency—and unchecked complacency can be a dangerous enemy. We'll discuss why it is sometimes much easier for us to spot the sin in others than to see the plank of sin stuck in our own eye; and we'll wonder, once again, at the faithfulness of God to chase us down in order to draw us back to Himself. We'll ponder the necessity of heartfelt repentance, and we'll be filled with overwhelming gratitude that God sent Jesus to pay the penalty for us—the One whose righteous blood fully covers our multitude of sins to wash us white as snow. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to watch David wait patiently for God to be the one to elevate him, and we'll be inspired by David's determination not to take the throne by his own means, but to wait on God to move him into position His way and in His timing. We'll analyze how the end of David's season of waiting likely included both joy and pain, and we'll be moved to gratitude as we ponder the truth that within our own seasons of waiting, there are always cherishable moments which sprinkle blessing into our trials. We'll be convicted by David's commitment to honor the one who went before him—not only in action, but also in speech—and we'll confront our own tendency to justify dishonor and slander in the name of discernment or righteousness. We'll see the readiness of God to lead clearly when He's opened a door—and we'll understand the simple, yet profound necessity of simply asking Him what to do next. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to follow David into his time of hiding and see how he maintained his purity of heart—and strength of mind—during this time in his life. We're going to take a deep dive into the heart of David, as we compare his story to his psalms. God Himself called David “a man after my own heart,” and we are able to get a unique perspective into the heart of David because he authored so many of the psalms. We'll discover the intrinsic connection between our heart and our mind; and we'll get a visual of how the formula for peace prescribed by Paul in Philippians 4 is exemplified in real life through the psalms of David. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to follow David through the events which took him from the battlefield and the palace to the wilderness and the cave—from being the man favored by King Saul to being the man hunted by King Saul. We'll discuss the extraordinary blessing of divine friendship as we watch God weave David and Jonathan's hearts together, and we'll marvel at the biblical characteristics this friendship displays. We'll see the accelerated downward spiral of King Saul as his jealousy supersedes his judgment, and we'll discover some ways to identify red flags in our own hearts as we compare the heart of this crazed king to the heart of his selfless son. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we're going to pick up where we left off in our last episode in the middle of the famous story of David and Goliath. Last time we recognized the divine timing of our sovereign God, and we talked about the multiple points of opposition David faced in this story before he even reached the giant. Today we'll discover the importance of seeing our lives through spiritual lenses if we do want to face our giants; and, just as in our last episode, we'll find peace in the fact that our success doesn't depend on our own ability, but on the power of God—that our stone only has power to take down the giant because it passes through the hand of God. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast, the guys talk with Steve Shwetz from Thru the Bible ministry as they celebrate over 50 years on air. John and Bob will then talk about last night's Presidential debate. How well did each candidate present themselves? What topics covered in the debate are at the top of the list of Christian concerns?

In today's conversation, we're going to bring a grown-up perspective to one of the most well-known stories of the entire Bible—David and Goliath. We'll marvel, once again, at how it's the hand of God that gets us to our destiny, and we'll begin to understand that there are no coincidences in God's story, but rather the unfolding of His divinely timed plans. We'll discover that Goliath was not the only opposition David faced on this battlefield, and we'll realize the ways in which the enemy often tries to take us out long before we ever reach the giant. We'll discover the importance of seeing our lives through spiritual lenses if we do want to face our giants; and, just as in our last episode, we'll find peace in the fact that our success doesn't depend on our own ability, but on the power of God—that our stone only has power to take down the giant because it passes through the hand of God. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.

In today's conversation, we'll be arriving at the backstory of the second king of Israel, David—one of the greatest heroes of the Old Testament, the man who God Himself referred to as “a man after my own heart,” the man whose lineage eventually birthed the Son of God. We'll wonder at the watchful eye of our attentive, sovereign God who sees all people, knows all people, and chooses who He uses according to the heart rather than ability, appearance, or position. We'll observe how God prepares us (unbeknownst to us) in the most unsuspected ways and places for what He has for us, and we'll see how it's the hand of God that opens the doors to our callings, not our own strategizing or planning. And, we'll find relief in the fact that no matter how much God equips and prepares us, the success of every calling ultimately depends upon that hand of God. So, pull up a chair at our table, and let's dive into the conversation.
