    Romans 8:28 is one of the most common verses you'll find on a coffee mug or living room wall. Christians and unbelievers are familiar with God's promise to work things out for good. But what does "good" mean? Join me as I look at how we tend to misunderstand this verse and then dig into the beautiful promise God gives us.

    Join me as we begin studying 1 Peter. This will walk you through how I study, showing you the questions I ask and the answers I arrive at. I hope this study makes you delight in God's word and encourages you to dig deeper in your own Bible study time!
     
    In these early verses, we get familiar with the setting, writer, and audience before spending a lot of time focusing on a term that is central to everything Peter is about to say - what it means to their identity, obedience, and life as God's "chosen."

Bringing it down

Ray has a gift of bringing difficult biblical topics down a very understandable level. This podcast is very helpful to me in my walk with the Lord and as I continue to try to reach others.

Praying for the Lord to continue to increase in you Ray and through this podcast. Thank you!

Good, Balanced Approach

I enjoy listening to Ray Burns because he takes a very unemotional, balanced approach to matters of faith and life.
