It was awesome being with your team Coach Scott. You’ve got some great young men there Wheaton Football Have a great year and keep representing Christ in all you guys do—on and off the field!

Last month I went through the book of Proverbs. In September our Bible study is going through the book of Romans. Paul wrote this letter to a church in Rome that had a diverse group of members. He explained the Good News and the process of salvation in very simple terms. Vs 1-5

In Romans 1:5-7 The Apostle Paul says his mission was to witness to the Gentiles. This was revolutionary in the 1st Century. It was thought that because the Jews were God’s “chosen people” salvation was only available to Jews. But here Paul says the Gospel of Jesus Christ is for

Romans 1:8-17 is subtitled “The Good News”. Paul states in vs 17 that salvation is accomplished totally by faith, not by anything we do. Believing in Jesus is the key. He also says something amazing in vs 9-that he has been praying for the Roman church members day & night even

The next section of Romans is subtitled God’s Anger At Sin. Up to now Paul has portrayed God as the loving, kind Father who wants to save everyone. And He is that. But here we’ll see that God is righteous and has no tolerance for sin. This was written 2000 yrs ago but it really

Two big wins for Carrollwood Day football today. The Middle School team beat Fox Chapel and the JVs beat Calvary Christian. Jason had an INT & a Fumble Recovery for the JVs but I’m giving Jalen the play of the day for his blocking 😀. Let’s go Patriots!

Romans 1:24-32 continues the description of man’s falling away from God. Paul said people refused to acknowledge & worship God so the Lord let them pursue their evil desires. Man fell into all kinds of sexual immorality, greed, envy, murder and other wicked behavior. Vs 32 says

Florida’s Amendment 4 is written with vague & deceptive terms. All Florida voters need to read it VERY CAREFULLY. I predict when Donald Trump reads and understands what this bill will actually do he’ll change course and vote no. But I urge all Florida voters to research this.

The first section of Romans Chapter 2 is subtitled God’s Judgment of Sin. Paul has laid out God’s love for mankind but also God’s anger at our sin. Before telling us the penalties he deals with our natural tendency to point the finger at others. “God must be talking about “them”.

We’re at our first Butler game of the season supporting our son Justin. College football is such a special atmosphere. This is going to be a fun year. Let’s Go Dawgs!

Butler kicked it in gear in the 2nd half. A couple of takeaways and some big plays in the passing game turned a tight game into a big win. Butler 40 -Upper Iowa 7. Now it’s on to Murray State. Way to go Dawgs. 1-0.

As Romans Chapter 2 began Paul stated that we are all sinful at heart. We see the sin in others but don’t always admit our own sins. Now he states that God has been extremely patient in holding off punishing us. That’s because He wants to give all of us a chance to repent & turn

We are back at New Era Church in Indianapolis this morning. It is a real joy to see our church family again and ironically Pastor Moore spoke on joy from Philippians Chapter 1. He talked about prayer, perspective & purpose relating to our joy. And PRAISE personifying our joy!🙏🏽

Romans 2:8-16. Paul started this letter by saying he had Good News-that God loves us and provided a way for us to get to heaven. Now he tells why that news is necessary-because God is holy & his standard is perfection. We are not perfect & we don’t meet that standard. To get to

For those who saw my post and were wondering what Riley was representing this was it: those who humble themselves will be exalted by the Lord. Matt 23:12

In Romans 1-2 Paul gave us Good News about God’s love, then detailed our rejection and sinful nature. In Chapter 3 he says that despite our rebellion & sin God remains faithful. His chosen people were the Jews but some of them turned away from Him. We’ve all angered God with our

In Romans Chpt 3 Paul continues to make the point that we as people are not righteous by God’s standard. We might think we’re better than other people or that somehow our religion makes us closer to God than others. But the Bible says none of us are good enough to get to heaven

For 3 Chapters in Romans Paul has made it clear that if we’re honest we know we don’t deserve to be in heaven. But the Good News is that we can still get there. But how? For centuries people thought it was by keeping the law-by following the 10 Commandments. But the Bible says

The 2024 NFL season is finally here and there are a ton of questions to be answered. Can the Chiefs 3-peat? What impact will coaching changes have? How will these rookie QBs do? Did vets play enough in the preseason to be sharp in September? Will the KO Return come back? We’ll

Romans Chapter 4 introduces Abraham as the patriarch of the Jewish faith. But he is also a key figure to Muslims & Christians. In his day people worshipped many gods but Abraham taught there is only one God. All 3 of these religions believe that. But Paul spells out the
