The Dark Side of Being Super-Religious Part 2
Monday, May 31, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Insight on Romans: The Christian's Constitution Paul didn't beat around the bush. When he sat down to write the book of Romans, a letter about the gospel, he decided to take the gloves off, to call a spade a spade, and to say it straight. He wasted no time getting to the core of our problem: SIN. Of course, he didn't stop there, because the gospel provides incredible hope. But in order to get to the good part, he knew it was necessary that everybody understand, accept, and identify with the bad part: we are sinners, totally and completely separated from inner goodness. Whether we're out-and-out vile and shameless or we're pious and self-righteous, we're still sinners - still as bad off as we can be before a righteous, holy God. But Paul wasn't through! Next he addressed the super-religious Jew, who believes that his or her traditions, works, and privileged position before God put him or her on a higher plane than all others on the planet. "Not so," said Paul - even the superreligious are sinners! Romans 2:17-29

Judgment for the Judgmental Part 3
Thursday, May 27, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Insight on Romans: The Christian's Constitution We learned in Romans 1 of God's judgment against those who are guilty of more obvious sins - idolatry, immorality, and other blatant forms of iniquity. God has declared that the guilty are "without excuse" (1:20) and "worthy of death"? (1:32). But there is another segment of depraved humanity that is equally guilty, who also "have no excuse" (2:1), yet they look on "sinners" in a judgmental and self-righteous way. These are the clean-living, morally upright, sweet-smelling, law-abiding, legalistic, and conceited sinners who boast of their ethical values and wrap themselves in pride. As we will see, this group is just as bankrupt before God and no less guilty than the overt, shameless sinners who openly despise God. Romans 2:1-16

Sinnerama in Panorama Part 3
Monday, May 24, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Insight on Romans: The Christian's Constitution Paul pulled no punches as he exposed human depravity in the last half of Romans 1 - it's ugly, dark, scandalous, and sometimes downright shocking. As we read, we feel as if we've entered a courtroom with Paul as he, the prosecuting attorney, builds his case against godless humankind. The strokes of his pen scratch heavily across the papyrus. He introduces damaging evidence. He presents accurate, even shocking, information. He describes the lowest levels of religious practices, sexual activities, and criminal acts. Here, depravity parades before us; here we witness sinnerama in panorama. Romans 1:24-32

The Bad News About the Whole World Part 2
Wednesday, May 19, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Insight on Romans: The Christian's Constitution After giving the good news that God's righteousness is available to all who believe, the apostle Paul turned his attention to the bad news: the sinfulness of humanity sets in motion God's wrath, which leads to His response of judgment. The sinner sinks ever deeper into a life of idolatry, immorality, and iniquity. Sadly, this is not simply the response of a few people, guilty and shameful in their thoughts and actions. Instead, it characterizes the whole world - we are all guilty, all lost, and all equally evil down to the core of our beings. The vivid examples Paul used in these verses represent the most extensive statement in all of Holy Scripture describing the totality of depravity. Romans 1:18-32

The Good News for the Whole World Part 3
Monday, May 17, 2010 Host: Chuck Swindoll Series: Insight on Romans: The Christian's Constitution Thanks to newscasts that flood the media, all of us are accustomed to bad news. We witness it every day of our lives. If it's news from abroad, it invariably includes reports of death and tragedy. If it's about life at home, we can count on one story after another to trouble our minds. Not even the weather report makes us smile! Maybe this iswhy many of us find such delight in reading the Bible. While it doesn't skip past life's dark side or ignore painful realities, the Word of God offers hope beyond all this . . . reasons to go on in spite of disappointments and disease, headaches and heartaches, suffering, shame, and sin. Why? Because at the core of the message, when everything in life seems sad and bad, there is always the good news. And as we'll learn in this message - it's good news not for just a few special, select individuals but for the whole world. Romans 1:14-17
