I haven't forgotten about you

Sorry for the lack of updates - I've been out of town and dealing with the holidays. Still been reading, though, and I will probably finish writing in mid-January, when this site will take on a different look and a different look. Thanks for reading.

November 24: Romans 1-3

Romans 1-3

Martin Luther was inspired by verses 1:16-17. " . . . in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed."

Through faith, we uphold the law, according to Paul in 3:31.

Tomorrow: Romans 4-7

November 23: Acts 27-28

Acts 27-28

It's neat that word of Christianity reached Rome before Paul himself did (see 28:22).

Tomorrow: Romans 1-3

November 22: Acts 24-26

Acts 24-26

The trial of Paul is interesting. It reads like a modern-day courtroom drama.

Tomorrow: Acts 27-28

November 21: Acts 21-23

Acts 21-23

Paul's story in 22 is compelling. I like hearing it from the man himself.

Tomorrow: Acts 24-26

November 20: Acts 18-20

Acts 18-20

I'm beginning to like Paul. He has really taken on the mantle of leader. I like how he quotes Jesus in 20:35. I read that that was the only quotation of Jesus not in the Gospels.

Tomorrow: Acts 21-23

November 19: Acts 16-17

Acts 16-17

It's neat how Luke uses 'we' in telling these stories in Chapter 16.

I honestly did not know the name 'Jason' was in the Bible. My brother's name is Jason. Turns out the Jason in the Bible is a saint. Who knew?

Tomorrow: Acts 18-20
