Pastor John, what software are you using for these videos? I love teaching and sitting under teaching done this way. I love getting “hands on” in the Scriptures! What program is this?

Let us look at a few verses in Romans. Romans 9:16,18-23 KJVS [16] So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. [18] Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy , and whom he will he hardeneth. [19] Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? [20] Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it , Why hast thou made me thus? [21] Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? [22] What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction: [23] And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory, I look at verse 22 and 23 as if then statements. In order to have vessels of mercy afore prepared unto glory it was necessary to also have the vessels of wrath fitted for loss or ruin. It is necessary to have the interplay of good and evil in order for the vessels of mercy to reach spiritual maturity. Hebrews 5:13-14 KJVS [13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. [14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. The fruit of righteousness can only be acquired by being chastened by God. Hebrews 12:11 KJVS [11] Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. That being said, God intends to present every man perfect in Christ, and that was what Apostle Paul so tirelessly worked towards, Col 1:28. As Ro 9:19 asks. Why does he yet find fault. Even though God assigns different role to certain people on the stage of history. All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God finds fault and ultimately corrects the faults of all men through Jesus Christ our Lord. www.justifiedfreely.com
