	When Paul says the invisible attributes of God are clearly visible through what has been created, what does he mean? Learn how design in the universe is a valid argument only for the infinite-personal God of the Bible.
	If we cannot live consistently with our own assumptions, it suggests that either we are hypocrital, dishonest, or our assumptions are false.
	How can God be good if the world he created is so often evil?
	Learn why the self-righteous are just as sinful as the openly wicked in the eyes of God.
	This great passages makes it crystal clear--human works have no place in God's plan of salvation.
	Faith is the key to acceptance with God. But what is biblical faith? Is it compatible with a works mentality? Is it passive? Study the life of Abraham to learn what real faith is all about.
	Not only justification, but spiritual growth is to be by faith apart from works. Learn how God works with us as we learn to trust him.
	What does Paul mean when he teaches that as we are in Adam, so we are in Christ? Learn how doing arises out of being.
	Seeing myself as God sees me, and coming to Him on that basis. This is the key to appropriating God's power for Christian living. Learn how identity affects our outlook and actions.
	Real biblical faith includes action, not just thought. But our action is indirect: not gritting my teeth to perform for God, but actively presenting myself to him.
	Why does Paul say we have died to the law? Isn't the law good for me? Or is this radical message to be taken literally?
	God gives us two alternatives in Romans 8: Walking according to the Spirit or walking according to the flesh. What does this language mean, really?
	What is worship? Should there be a difference in the way we worship God in the New Testament community? This word study examines how the word worship is used in the New Testament and reaches some surprising conclusions.
	To walk according to the Spirit, we have to understand how God bestows grace on us. Learn about the so-called "Means of Growth."
	We may not like it, but suffering plays a crucial role in Spiritual Growth. Learn why God let's us suffer, and how to respond.
	Predestination and Free Will; what are the arguments? See how Romans chapter 9 can be interpreted two different ways. McCallum takes a thought provoking look at a controversial passage.
	Starting in Romans 9 Dennis begins to trace God's involvement in history, showing how the master plan has been, and will continue to develop according to the Bible. McCallum makes sense of God's involvement with Israel, and explains why the cross of Christ is the "most shocking event in history".
	To understand our individual identity in Christ is not enough. Romans teaches that we are not only members of Christ, but members of one another. This corporate identity is the key to real body life.
	The Bible teaches that God has placed the members in the Body just as he pleases. My job is to find out what God's plan is for me with the people of God.
	Is the modern church essentially the same as that described in the New Testament? Maybe on one level, but McCallum argues that, although we have lost much of what God had in mind, it's not too late!
	The heart of Christianity is real love--not superficial or self-centered love, but the radical sacrificial love that only Christ can give.
	Everyone agrees that love is important, but we don't all mean the same thing by love. The first sep in successful community is rejecting secular definitions of love and understanding God's version.
	Wanting good relationships is a good beginning, but we need practical ideas for how to enhance our friendships under God. Study how relationships work and how you can deepen yours.
	Conflict can be a great destroyer of relational intimacy. But if we learn to manage our conflice in humility, conflict can actually enhance our friendships.
	Here are some more principles of biblical conflict management.
	From Romans 14 McCallum helps us understand what it means to make personal choices while still following God's will in your life. Anyone who has struggled with hard choices will appreciate this graceful, biblical approach to understanding God's will in your life.
