Groaning for Resurrection
(Romans 8:18-25)
Nearly 2,000 years ago, on a Sunday morning a couple of days removed from the Passover, in Israel, a group of women went to a tomb. Their beloved teacher, leader, and friend had been crucified. They had hoped he was the one to save the world from its chaos and brokenness. Instead, he had suffered and died at the hands of jealous religious leaders, the Roman government, and a bloodthirsty mob. Still, he was special to them, and because he'd been buried with haste, they determined to go to his grave to complete his burial process. (9 Minutes/2300 Words)

Imputed Righteousness
Imputed righteousness is one of the greatest blessings that you and I could ever know. In Romans chapter 4 Paul tells us that Abraham was not justified by his works or anything that he did, but he received imputed, deposited, righteousness when he believed in the promises God had for him. In that he became a forerunner for us, demonstrating that when we have faith in God’s promises and what he has done for us we too receive that deposit of righteousness. We get the righteousness of Christ copied onto our lives! What a joy to receive such a gift! Our sin deleted, and replaced with righteousness.

The Mission Statement of a Christ Follower
Archival Post & Podcast
Modern companies have mission statements, a guiding sentence or phrase for all they do. Christians, in a sense, have a mission statement also. If pressed for it, I would turn to Romans 12:1-2. Here, in response to the glorious gospel he wrote about in Romans 1-11, Paul concludes: “Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God.” (12 Minutes /2500 Words)
