How many books have been written over the years about relationships? I wouldn’t even begin to try to count them. Obviously, we humans need help in this arena. Romans 12 is all about relationships, first and foremost about how we relate to God. Once we are in this relationship, it will transform our ways of… Read More

Kathie’s Roman Digs (Week 25-Romans 12:1-2)
So simple. 2 verses. Yet so hard. So hard that we can’t do it no matter how hard we try. And that’s Paul’s point. We can’t do it, but God has given us access to His strength and Himself in the form of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. We just need to quit… Read More
Dig into Romans With Me (Week 25-Romans 12:1-2)

Dig into Romans with Me (Week 24-Romans 11)

It wasn’t until 10-12 years laters that the temple was… Read More

Paul didn’t start Romans 10 with information; he began by once again revealing his heartbreak. So my chart for verses 1-5 is not informational, but rather points to hearts: God’s, Paul’s, and ours. God’s Heart Paul’s Heart Our Hearts I have Good News for you all! For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which… Read More
