Real Christianity

Outside of Christ, humanity is far more wicked than we know. If the heart and soul of a person is unregenerate, because their soul is separated from the source of life, which is God, then only death will flow out of them. When a person is alive in Christ, life will flow out of them. In this episode of Real Christianity, Pastor Dale Partridge continues his exposition of Romans 3:9–18 in an effort to uncover the doctrine of Total Depravity. In the previous episode, Dale taught on the depravity of the mind, the ears, and the eyes of man. In this episode, we see how that depravity also saturates the body and the actions of man. Namely, we will see how depravity is total in its nature.

Self-love is blinding. Namely, it’s difficult for man to see his flaws when his view of himself is so lofty. The Bible solves this dilemma by offering a pure and precise view of man—including his fallenness and flaws. According to Scripture, man’s central flaw is his spiritual deadness. A state of the soul that is not righteous, cannot comprehend the Gospel and does not seek for God. It’s a confirmation that no man can come to God without divine assistance. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge expounds on this biblical concept as he teaches through Romans 3:9-12.

Pastors Jeff Durbin and Dale Partridge tackle the contentious topic of Christian nationalism, exploring its biblical foundations and implications for modern believers. They question whether Christians are meant to create Christian nations or influence culture for Christ. Their engaging discussion spans the Great Commission, the gospel's cultural impact in the digital age, and the importance of active political involvement. With an emphasis on education and societal transformation, they encourage Christians to bring their faith into every aspect of life.

God’s people are a covenant people. However, being in the covenant community of the church does not necessarily mean that a person is born again, regenerate, and justified. So if visible covenant inclusion does not equal salvation, what is the value of being in God’s covenant community? This exact question is anticipated by the Apostle Paul in Romans 3:1-4. Join pastor Dale Partridge as he exposits the meaning of this passage in this episode of Real Christianity.

Too often we put trust into religious actions to earn us good standing with God. However, this is opposite of what’s taught in Scripture. Only justification through faith in Christ alone can offer us peace with God. In Romans 2:25-29, Paul is preparing his audience for this point. Namely, he is tearing down any and every religious practice that the Jews had placed redemptive hope. His focus in these verses is to strip them of their false understanding of circumcision and show them their need, not for a mark of the flesh, but for a change of the heart.

Over the years, I’ve met many people who know the Bible but do not know Christ. They know the Moral Law but do not know the Gospel. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge continues to exposit Romans 2 around the issue of the Law. Legalism, the practice of law-following to make yourself righteous before God, was and still is commonplace among the Jews. But more than that, it is commonplace among people within the church. In this passage of Scripture, Paul demonstrates how spiritual activity does not equal spiritual security. But more than that, he strips the religious people of this world of their false hope and presents them with their only hope of righteousness—Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that every person has a conscience. But what’s divine the purpose of the conscience? Additionally, is this conscience a form of God’s Law for those who have never heard of God’s Law? Namely, can God rightly judge those who have never heard of His Law by their conscience? Pastor Dale Partridge answers all these questions in this episode of Real Christianity.

The Bible tells us that God’s Moral Law had a primary purpose—to bring awareness of man’s sin. Namely, God’s Law becomes the standard of righteousness that man cannot meet. In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge exposits Romans 2:12-13 which demonstrates the universal and inescapable condemnation of God’s Law.

The Bible teaches that all people will individually stand before the judgement of God. How should Christians be thinking of this coming experience? More than that, how does God’s judgement on Christians relate to the Gospel of grace? What’s the difference between judgement and condemnation? Pastor Dale Partridge answers all these questions and more on this episode of Real Christianity.

It’s becoming more and more evident that feminism is the place where true femininity goes to die. The issues are not around equal opportunity before the law but redefining womanhood altogether. But more than that, feminism has also insisted that masculinity must change. In a real sense, this call for change is truly a call for submission—to the superiority of women. In this episode, pastor Dale Partridge interviews author and filmmaker Rebekah Merkle on the topic of biblical womanhood and her new anti-feminism documentary “Eve in Exile.” Together, they approach tough theological issues revolving around gender and offer solutions from Scripture.
