Legal Tender and Loving Care
Open your Bible to Romans 13 with Pastor Chuck Swindoll to discover how love sums up God’s law and fulfils its requirements.
Wake Up and Get Dressed!
Explore with Pastor Chuck Swindoll the steps Christians need to take to be ready morally and spiritually for Christ’s return.
A Thief is a Thief
There is more than one kind of stealing. Sometimes we have to confront one another but be careful of how you do this because you may be guilty of the same thing! Pay people what you owe them. If you don't, you are stealing—that's how it works!
Should Christians Go to War?
When we consult the Scriptures further we see that God does not explicitly command against war or against the taking of another’s life. Murder, which is different than killing, is explicitly condemned.
Extending Grace to Let Others Be
Pastor Chuck Swindoll wraps up this series on grace by concluding that, while God loves unity, he doesn’t demand uniformity. Understand how you can extend grace to others even amid differences.
Conviction, Character, and Waves
People who live with conviction no longer react to life, or float along taking life as it comes. These people initiate action because they are motivated by their beliefs.
Putting Grace into Action
Because of the weak believer’s human tendency to judge those who don’t embrace his or her customs and convictions and also because of the strong believer’s decision to discount judgments passed by those who find fault in his or her expressions of freedom, conflict emerges and persists. The solution? Put grace into action.
Liberty on a Tightrope
God’s desire is that we, His people, fully enjoy our freedom in Christ. However, there must be self-imposed boundaries or we will become self-serving, independent-minded, and careless rebels with no regard for others. The last 11 verses of Romans 14 address this issue.
Putting Grace into Action
Listen to Paul’s exhortations in Romans 14 to the “strong” and “weak” brothers and sisters in the church. Pastor Chuck Swindoll encourages believers to focus on Christ, live in freedom, and love others.
