Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

There are certainly times in this life when injustices happen to believers and non-believers alike. To one degree or another all people have experienced such a thing. The Bible is clear that this is a result of living in a fallen world that has been totally wrecked by sin. As Christians, when we experience situations in this life that don't seem to be fair, we must respond differently than the world. The book of James teaches that we must react to unfair situations in a godly manner. Join Tom Pennington as he explains how believers should respond When Life's Not Fair.

The Scripture makes it clear that God cares infinitely how we worship Him. Taking it one step further, the Scripture also says that God alone has the right to prescribe how we must worship Him. That is essentially the point of the Second Commandment—people will either worship the true God in the way that He has perfectly prescribed, or they will do what is right in their own eyes and ultimately commit idolatry. How, then, can Christians be on guard against committing idolatry? Join Tom Pennington as he gets to The Heart of Worship by explaining how God desires to be worshiped.

The church is the only organization and institution that our Lord Jesus Christ promised to build. The Scripture is clear that it is Christ alone who builds His church. In fact, the church is Christ's greatest priority in the world today and He is deeply concerned with how His people are conducting themselves in it. But what is Christ's plan for the for the church and how should believers respond? Join Tom Pennington in Ephesians 4 as he defines The Church According to Jesus.

In Romans 7 Paul makes a clear-cut case that God's law actually arouses people to sin. In other words, God's law stirs up the sinful heart to pursue sin even more. In typical fashion, Paul anticipates the following objections to come his way: Does this mean that God's law is unholy and unrighteous? Is God's law the problem or is man's sin the problem? Join Tom Pennington as he explains Paul's line of thought regarding God's holy law and rebellious sinners Caught in the Act.

Great leaders have always been concerned with what motivates people to action, and they try to seize on those motivations as levers to cause people to begin to act. But what motivates Christians to act? What motivates Christians to live a life of total commitment to God? In the twelfth chapter of the book of Romans, Paul exhorts Christians to examine their motives while seeking to apply the gospel in everyday living. Join Tom Pennington as he walks through Romans 12:1–2, to present Your Only Reasonable Response to the Gospel.

There is much controversy and confusion surrounding the doctrine of election. In fact, one could argue that this theme rises above the rest as far as theological debates and discussions are concerned. Unfortunately, unbiblical teachings, preconceived notions, and misinformation on the issue have stirred the pot even more. Like the Bereans in Acts 17, Christians must examine the Scriptures to test whether or not the doctrine of election is a biblical concept. Join Tom Pennington as he carefully explains Sovereign (S)election from Paul's letter to the Ephesians.
