Sin isn’t a popular word. Most people think of sin as doing something really bad, like murder, assault, or robbery. But the word “sin” has the idea of missing the mark, not hitting the target.
The idea is that God has set a glorious standard and when we fail to live by it, we sin. We say, do, and think things that are contrary to God's standard, and the problem is that no matter how much we try and achieve change by ourselves, we just can't succeed.
The Bible teaches that our nature is imprisoned to sin. We miss the mark because we choose creation over the Creator. We look to succeed by our own strength, yet we never shake our own selfish sin. No matter what our education, religious heritage, ethnicity, or financial status, we cannot overcome the power of sin by ourselves. This is a problem.
Everyone make mistakes. But there’s a difference between making a mistake and living an irresponsible life. We’re accountable for the lives we live and one day each one of us will give an account of our life to God.
Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll in a look at Romans 3. Examine our lifeless condition without Christ and assess the situation for yourself.
When you do something wrong, it is no one’s fault but yours. You can’t blame your parents, your friends, your co-workers, or anyone else. You are ultimately responsible for your actions.
Pastor Chuck Swindoll discusses how “religion” is a counterfeit for genuine spiritual growth. He unpacks the traditions and works that the Jews relied on instead of faith in the Messiah (Romans 2).
Romans 2 focuses on the righteous judgment of God. Pastor Chuck Swindoll teaches that God alone knows the hearts of all people. He is the righteous judge, not us.
Suppressing the truth incites the wrath of God, but embracing the truth invites the righteousness of God. Tune in to hear Pastor Chuck Swindoll teach on the idolatry, immorality, and iniquity of the early church as seen in Romans 1.
Come to terms with the reality of depravity through Pastor Chuck Swindoll’s message on Romans 1:18–25. Discover the biblical meaning of God’s wrath and better understand His character.
God’s Word says that there will be a day of judgement. But as Christians that’s not something that we need to fear. When we placed out trust in Christ our guilt was removed, now and for eternity.
God’s judgment isn’t something we like to think about—it’s much easier to focus on His other attributes like love, compassion, and grace. But the Bible has a lot to say about God's judgment. From the Old Testament to the New, God has never winked at sin.
Like the frog in the beaker, we don't realize our small compromises are destroying our lives until we're faced with the consequences of our wrong choices.
