I realize that there are countless number of books written about covenants and what they mean and how they form our relationship. This is really an introductory discussion but I believe, especially for Christians, that it is important to realize that when we become Christians, we enter into a covenant with God. Therefore, it’s important […]
Have you ever thought about how incredibly blessed you are? If you’ve made Jesus your Lord then, by definition, you are. Don’t just remind yourself of this when things get bad, you should do this daily. Part of the reason is that you do remind you of your blessings. When you think about if…. You
This ‘know’ is really a different kind of know. Confusing or merely a conundrum?. “…Now I know in part [just in fragments], but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known [by God].” [1 Corinthians 2:12, AMP] I must own up to being a Huge ‘I Need to Know’ type person.

I’d like to begin with an observation that is based in a question. Who, not where, is the ‘audience’ that Paul is writing to in Romans? Follow up questions: Are they learned and educated people?
