0:00.0	Paul says that everyone in this world stands without an excuse. There's no excuse of ignorance before God,
0:10.0	not when he himself has given you the information, so that any plea of ignorance will be an empty
0:16.0	plea and will have no effect with God.
0:29.0	The Book of Romans makes a powerful statement about the state of lost sinance. They are culpable for their sin, whether they want to admit it or not.
0:34.7	Welcome to the Sunday edition of Renewing Your Mind. I'm your host, Nathan W. Bingham.
0:41.0	Today, R.C. Sprole continues his short sermon series in the opening portion of the Book of Romans.
0:47.6	You can, of course, have Dr. Sprawl as your guide through the entire epistle when you request

1:59.1	this wonderful revelation of the righteousness that is by faith
2:06.2	that he switches and now introduces another revelation, the revelation of the wrath of God.
2:19.7	And there's a method to his madness.
