Faith that Speaks— Anytime, Anywhere

Are you a slave to sin or a slave to righteousness? The book of Romans identifies these two categories as marks of one's true spiritual condition. Those who love their sin and walk in it are slaves to such behavior. On the other hand, those who love righteousness are slaves to righteousness. Therefore, Christians must never take sin lightly, because they are no longer slaves of sin but slaves of God and of righteousness. Join Tom Pennington as he explains Romans 6:15–23 to help answer a critical question: Whose Slave Are You?

What is your greatest fear? Many people would say public speaking, snakes, or some type of confined space. Moreover, we live in a society that is permeated with fear, even to the degree that some people in our culture use fear as a tactic and motivater to sell products, ideas, and worldviews. But for the Christian, fearing earthly matters runs contrary to the teaching of Scripture. So, the question is: what should be your greatest fear? According to Mark 9, sin should be your greatest fear. In this series Tom Pennington explains Jesus' teaching on The Disciple's Greatest Danger.

We often neglect those things that are the most clearly and visibly in sight, in spite of their great value. Sadly, when it comes to the Old Testament, Christians often neglect this massive portion of Scripture. If we are to be faithful to 2 Timothy 3:16, then the Old Testament is just as God-breathed as the New. In other words, the Old Testament is equally important in the mind of God as the New—it is all profitable for the man of God. In this series Tom Pennington gives An Aerial View of the Old Testament in order to help Christians better understand its message and application.

The average adult breathes 12 to 15 times per minute or roughly 20,000 times a day. Humans normally breathe about 500 to 700 milliliters of air with each breath, which amounts to 535 cubic feet a day. In fact, most people only breathe through one nostril at a time—the nostril in use changes every 15 minutes to three hours depending on the individual. To be sure, breathing is absolutely critical for physical life. Furthermore, the act of breathing is a powerful illustration of a spiritual reality. What breathing is to our physical bodies, praying is to our souls. Join Tom Pennington as he explains why Christians must be committed to Prayer for All Seasons.

Were Jesus' claims to be the Son of God valid? In reality, there are only two basic responses to that question: His claims were either true or false. If His claims were false, then either He knew they were false or He didn't know they were false. On the other hand, if His claims were true, then He is everything that He claimed to be. So, was Jesus an evil man who was a demonically inspired liar? Was He a deluded man? Or is He truly the Son of God? Join Tom Pennington as he answers the question Jesus: Liar, Lunatic, or Lord?

The Bible teaches that a fool is a person who refuses to have and apply God's wisdom. Therefore, the fool displays a morally deficient character that produces spiritually irrational behavior. For Christians, this type of thinking and behavior ought not be. If you want to walk worthy of your position in Christ, then you must walk in Biblical wisdom. How can Christians be on guard against falling prey to the wisdom of the world? Join Tom Pennington as he explains why Christians must Watch Where You Step!
