Unbuttoning Buttoned-Down Religion, Romans #6
Pastor Jack teaches on Romans 2, contrasting the "inexcusable heathen" of chapter 1 with the "inexcusable religionist" who is bound up in religious knowledge. Drawing from the text, he challenges believers to avoid judgmentalism and self-righteousness, emphasizing that God's kindness leads to continual repentance—a constant reshaping of the mind and heart. Pastor Jack calls the congregation to maintain humble, teachable spirits, reminding them that spiritual growth is a lifelong journey and there is always "much, much more" to learn from the Lord.
