Extreme Righteousness
In instructing his readers not to be "overly righteous", the Teacher is calling all of us to steer clear of "extreme righteousness", that attitude in which we ultimately trust that our own goodness will make us worthy before God.

A Certain Salvation (Romans 5:9-11)
Some kinds of doubt -- self-doubt -- are healthy. But it is unhealthy for us to doubt God and his promises; we end up hedging our bets and trusting in things less secure. Not only that, but our doubting God is sin, unbelief. In this passage, Paul presents one of his strongest logical arguments for our assurance of God's saving us and keeping us. Paul anchors our assurance in the objective work of justification and reconciliation that Jesus accomplished at the cross. He has accomplished the most difficult thing in bringing us justification and reconciliation through his death. We can be confident that the one who declared "it is finished" will continue to preserve us! As a result, we rejoice, and we boast in Christ; we do this by looking backward on what he has done for us, by looking forward with confidence in his faithfulness and promises, and by living today in light of our certain hope.

How Good Is Good Enough
Many people think that good people go to heaven. They like this theory because: It seems like a fair system; you'll make the cut; it motivates you to be good and it's very consistent with the idea of good God. The problems with the theory is that there is no clear standard of good and bad; we don't know how good is good enough and it makes a liar out of Jesus. The bible tells us that Everybody is welcome; Everybody gets in the same way and Everybody can meet the requirement. Good people don't go to heaven --- forgiven people go to heaven.

Genesis 20
Our spiritual heart often gets weakened by the continual strain of a world pushing against what is godly, what is righteous. If our spiritual heart begins to weaken, it becomes divided, beating for a life of faith at times and for a life of self at other times. God seeks an undivided heart from us. It is something that He gives us.

That Every Mouth May Be Silent (Romans 3:9-20)
Paul's argument in this passage is that of a prosecutor. He demonstrates beyond any doubt that we are totally depraved, that our sin leaves us with no defense before a holy and righteous judge. By ourselves we cannot earn God's approval, and we deserve only wrath and judgment. But praise God for his provision of a Savior, Jesus Christ, who is our advocate and our righteousness. Though everyone stands guilty before God, everyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved, accepted by God, and adopted into God's family as his child.

Is God Fair?
To God there is no difference between a Jew & a Gentile. They are both under judgement. What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew? Does unfaithfulness nullify God's faithfulness? God can bring good things out of bad. God will prevail when He is judged. If man's unrighteousness magnifies Gode's righteousness, is God an unjust judge? Christians will one da participate in judging.

A Christ-Centered Gospel for A Me-Centered World
Do you relate to God on His terms (i.e. the gospel) or your terms (i.e. religion)? When we really get that a right relationship with God is only possible His way, that changes everything about how we relate to Him and to others.

Introduction to Romans
Paul introduces himself to the Roman church and helps to address some Jew and Gentile issues. But the primary theme of Romans is the gospel, which Paul lays out clearly and forcefully, explaining how it is that all of us as sinners deserving of God's wrath can instead experience forgiveness, justification, peace with God, life, and the gift of the Holy Spirit.

John 2:12-25 - The Place for Righteous Rage
The city of Jerusalem was precious to the Jewish people as the historical capital as well as the center of religious worship. The center of this worship was at the temple mount. Jesus came to the temple and instead of finding sincere worship and devotion to the One True God He found crass commercialism and greed, leading Him to give a demonstration of righteous rage.
