The Book of Romans Series: Colleen and Nikki discuss Romans 14:5–9. Charlie Kirk's book on the Sabbath, Stop in the Name of God, has sold out and is a "best seller" in America.

The Book of Romans Series: Nikki and Colleen discuss Romans 13:5–7.

Perfect podcast for Chistmas Eve. Blessed Noel!
I have no problem with "once saved, always saved" because it is the perseverance of God in the preservation of His saints...the gift and calling are sure. Understanding the cost of salvation and the gift of the new birth is a sobering and humbling revelation of the one adopted into the kingdom of the Son...one who is forgiven much loves much.
good choice for first interview
Thanks for faithfully working through scripture, verse by verse, contextually, grammatically, literally, historically...expositing the holy words of God and refuting the lies of egw.
In a coloring book now? SDA heresy on an all-time low! Maybe they can also sell an Ellen G White doll...or maybe a paper doll....add in the huge Bible she allegedly held as an accessory?
When we see all the fulfilled prophecies about Christ throughout scripture, why would we be surprised at the subset of those prophecies God gave Daniel about Christ's eternal kingdom?
So excited to see this!! These podcasts are so well done and so helpful!!
Great exposition of this part of the telling of the lead-up to John's and Jesus' births. ❤️
