Pour oil and water into a container, and you will see that they don’t mix. The oil droplets are evident in and on the water. That’s how it is with truth and grace, if you’re human.

When the Israelites, past and present, rejected God, all others were who believe were and are grafted into His covenant family. Together,… Read More
We have two more chapters to go in Paul’s explanation of the gospel message that Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome. I felt the need to go over what we have read and studied in the few weeks. I appreciate the videos from bibleproject.com that help give us a clear outline so that we… Read More
