Romans on Righteousness (Part Two)

Ken Brown | October 10, 2009

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not reckon sin? I should say so!! Now THAT would be quite the deal to get in on would it not? Who is it that gets to have this amazing grace? The record continues on to show through Abraham that “this blessedness” has come to the Gentiles (uncircumcision) as well as to “the circumcision.” It shows that they who walk in the steps of the faith of Abraham receive the Righteousness of faith whether they are of the circumcision or uncircumcision…

Romans on Righteousness (Part One)

Ken Brown | October 3, 2009

“Righteousness” basically means “rightness.” The earliest English versions of the Bible used the word, “rightwiseness.” When Romans speaks of one’s righteousness, or rightness, it refers to one’s rightness before God. It is the condition of being before God as one ought to be. This is not a side note when it comes to right believing. What constitutes being right before God, and why, is as fundamental as it gets.

The Unity of the Spirit

Ken Brown | September 26, 2009

The key to maintaining the unity of the spirit is not to endeavor to become more like one another. It is to continually recognize that our differences are relatively insignificant compared to what we share.

Who is the Old Man and What is He Doing?

Ken Brown | April 20, 2009

There have been at least two problems with some past common teachings regarding the “old man” referenced in the Scriptures. One has been teachings that have been contradictory: teaching from Romans that the old man is dead, and teaching from Ephesians that we must continually and vigilantly put off the old man. Both cannot be true. The other problem has been a misunderstanding of who or what the “old man” is or was. A common teaching has been that the “old man” is your old sin nature, and the “new man” is your new spirit nature. The Scriptures, however, don’t say that. The purpose of this article is to provide Biblical documentation as to what the story is with the “old man.”
