Dr. Barnhouse & the Bible

Our Justification

Romans 8:30
A weak link can break the chain that holds a ship to its anchor, and the ship would be swept out to sea. God has taken the likes of foreknowledge, predestination, calling, justification and glorification and forged a golden chain that secures our eternal salvation. But many Christians weaken God's golden chain through an improper understanding of one or more of these links. Do you have a biblical understanding of the vital link of justification? Tune in to hear more on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

God's Call

Romans 8:29
If you see a commercial encouraging you to join the Army, you are free to ignore it and turn the channel. But if you received a draft notice, you would be compelled to enlist. Many people hear the general call of the gospel and ignore it because they are spiritually dead and dead in their sins. But God's effectual call infuses the gospel with power and issues a divine summons that compels us to follow Jesus Christ. Dr. Barnhouse speaks of God's call to salvation on Dr. Barnhouse on the Bible.

The Image of His Son

Romans 8:29
The hands of the master artist Michelangelo formed a shapeless block of marble into David, perhaps the most famous sculpture in the world. You may feel that your life has no purpose or direction, but if you come to God through faith in Jesus Christ, He'll gradually form you into the image of His beloved Son and make your life into something beautiful in His eyes. Have you entrusted your life into the loving hands of the Master? Listen to Dr. Barnhouse's classic teaching on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible

God's Foreknowledge

Romans 8:29
Many preachers and Bible teachers have defined God's foreknowledge as simply His ability to know all things in advance before they happen. They may say God looked down the corridor of time to see who would respond in faith to the gospel, and predestined them to salvation on that basis. But is this a biblically accurate view of the foreknowledge of God? What does the Word of God actually teach about this important subject? Find out on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

The People of God

Romans 8:28
Perhaps you have heard someone express the popular common sentiment of our day by saying, "We are all God's children." But the Bible clearly states that only those who have come to God through faith in Jesus Christ can be called His children. The people of God are those who love God and who have been called by God and all this according to His divine purpose. It is on these grounds alone that all things work together for our eternal good. Listen to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible to hear about God's love for His people.

All Things

Romans 8:28
Joseph was betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely imprisoned. He could have fallen into despair and wondered how God could ever bring forth any good from these circumstances. But God eventually worked in Joseph's life in such a way that he could say, "You meant evil against me but God meant it for good in order to bring about, as it is, this day to save many people." He is also causing all things in your life to work together for your ultimate good. Be encouraged on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

We Know

Romans 8:28
Sometimes we experience great personal success and spiritual progress; other times we suffer setbacks and seem to take a step backwards. We pass through many watershed events--marriage, the birth of our children, the loss of a job, or a loved one. We also face countless experiences every day which may seem trivial and unimportant, but God is causing all the events of our lives, great and small, tragic and triumphant, to work together for our ultimate good. Hear Dr. Barnhouse's words of encouragement on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

The Plan of God

Romans 8:28
We should not be surprised when unbelievers express hostility toward the teachings of God's Word. But surprisingly, there are many Christians who act with animosity against the biblical doctrines of election and predestination. What do the Scriptures teach us about the sovereignty of God and His eternal plan to save sinners according to His sovereign grace? Dr. Barnhouse teaches about the plans of God on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Prayer That Must Be Answered

Romans 8:27
If you knew someone who always prayed in perfect harmony with the will of God and whose prayers were always answered, you would probably ask that person to pray for you. But if you are a believer, you already enjoy this privilege. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit now pray for the people of God according to the will of God. Do you comprehend the great blessing of this Divine intercession on your behalf? Be encouraged to pray confidently on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible.

Beyond Divine Expression

Romans 8:26
Perhaps you have experienced a situation in your life that left you speechless. You simply could not find the words to express your thoughts, feelings, and desires. If our words often fail to express what is in our hearts, how much more inadequate are they to express the heart of God? It is impossible for human words to express the unfathomable love of God toward us and His fervent desire for us to grow in holiness and spiritual maturity. Listen to Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible from Romans 8:26.
