The David Spoon Experience 10-1-24 part 2

The David Spoon Experience

1) Here we are in chapter 7 of Romans, picking it up right at verse 5, and Paul is not pulling any punches. He’s made it quite clear that we are all under the bondage of sin until the deliverance of Jesus Christ. Chapters 1-3 put everyone in the crossfire of being in sin. Chapters 4-5 make it clear that faith is the ticket to the grace that God has given us all. Chapters 6-8 talk about our new position, current struggle, and solution to the problem.
2) But going back to the text, verse 5 says, "When our old nature controlled us, the sinful desires were at work within us." In other words, when we allowed the old us to control things before Christ, our sinful nature went haywire. But now that we have a new position in Jesus Christ, we have the ability not to allow that to take place, though many of us do not seem to avail ourselves of that.
3) Brother Ace calls in, and it's phenomenal to hear his voice. Additionally, Dave spends extra time praying for Israel, the United States, the victims of the flood and hurricane, as well as for the supply problems.
4) Brother Sergio calls in to answer the trivia question and asks a phenomenal question. He asks if God is now getting angry. Dr. Dave goes to great lengths to explain that while God's anger is manifesting, due to His justice, His mercy will also manifest for those who believe. Any country cannot continue in sin (including America) and have no consequences. It’s not a balance sheet of good and bad. It’s whether God is acknowledged.
