Romans 12:4-5

Your stomach cannot pump blood throughout your body if your heart stops working. And if your eyes go blind, you cannot see with your toes. You cannot function properly unless every part of your body fulfills its unique and essential purpose. Believers are members of the Body of Christ and when we exercise our particular spiritual gifts, serve one another, and work together with unity of purpose, the church can functio...

Romans 12:5

Believers often gather and sing the hymn, "They will know we are Christians by our love". But sadly, Christians are sometimes known for our fighting, quarreling and bitterness. Disunity and division in the church severely damages our witness for Jesus Christ before a watching world. How can we advance the Kingdom of God through authentic Christian love and fellowship in the gospel? Dr. Barnhouse explains on Dr. Barnhous...

Romans 12:5

Imagine a new believer looking for a church in the yellow pages. He will see names like Presbyterian, Baptist, Roman Catholic, Methodist, Pentecostal, Lutheran, Episcopal, and perhaps a few others. He might wonder which is the right church? Much confusion has arisen because people fail to distinguish between the organized, institutional churches and the Church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ, made up of His genuine fol...

Romans 12:4

When you mention the word "church," many people think of a building with a cross and a steeple. Others might think of a particular denomination or religious organization. But the church is a building not made of bricks and cement, but of living stones. It is not an organization but an organism; a spiritual body comprised of born again believers around the world. Dr. Barnhouse asks the probing question, "Are you a genuin...

Romans 12:3

The Bible says that a man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. Jesus told of a Pharisee who appeared righteous and godly, yet was filled with pride and self righteousness. But God had mercy on a tax collector whose heart was humbled, broken and contrite over his many sins. Dr. Barnhouse teaches that the path of humility and reverence before God is the path of rich blessing, and spiritual growth o...

Romans 12:2

When a nation loses a war, their defeat is shown by their surrender to the enemy forces and submission to their terms. But in the spiritual realm, surrender and submission is the path to victory. God offers peace with Himself to rebelious sinners through the death of His Son and we can experience spiritual triumph when we trust in Jesus Christ and yield to HIs lordship.

Romans 12:1

In the 1960's, many young Americans rebelled against a society and culture that had largely been shaped by Christian values. This led to a decade of non-conformist counter culture. But the Bible teaches that we are to refuse to conform to the world. Dr. Barnhouse poses the question, "Are you being transformed daily by the renewing of your mind?" on Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible.

Romans 12:1

According to the Bible, the first and greatest commandment is to love the Lord Your God with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength.

The Bible exhorts us to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and acceptable to God. But as one Christian writer observes, "The problem with a living sacrifice is that it keeps crawling off the altar."

Romans 12:1

Many people assume that the teachings of Jesus Christ form the basis of Christianity. But this is a serious error. Christianity is not merely a set of teachings and principles -- it is a person. The essence of Christianity is Jesus Christ himself and his redemptive work on behalf of needy sinners. Dr. Barnhouse asks, "Is Christ at the center of your Christianity?"

Romans 12:1

When you study the Bible and come across the word, "therefore", it is always a good idea to ask, "What is it there for?" When the Apostle Paul uses the word "therefore" at the beginning of chapter 12, we must realize he is building on what he's taught in previous chapters.

Romans 11:23, 24

The Gospel of John declares that Jesus came unto His own, but His own did not receive Him. The religious leaders and the people of Israel overwhelmingly rejected their Messiah and today the majority of Jews continue to reject Him. Will Israel continue in unbelief or will there come a day when they acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Messiah and King and be restored? Find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Romans 11:19-22

In the days following Peter's sermon on Pentecost, the church was almost exclusively made up of Jews who believed in Jesus as their Messiah. But ever since Peter preached the gospel to Cornelius and his family, Gentile believers have made up the overwhelming majority of God's redeemed people.

Romans 11:16-18

You may wish you could be related to some famous person, but you cannot simply graft yourself into that person's family tree. And yet, God has grafted Gentile believers into the spiritual family tree of Abraham. If you believe in Jesus Christ, you too are a part of the olive tree made up of Jews and Gentiles throughout history who have trusted in the Lord for salvation.

    Bleep! with Ana Navarro

    Fear thrives in silence and confusion. Ana Navarro rejects both. Her voice is an antidote to today’s chaos. Her new podcast, Bleep! with Ana Navarro, takes on today’s most pressing issues with the voices most connected to it: decision-makers, political leaders, cultural shapers, and people on the frontlines of the story.
