Shhhhh.
I was thinking about this verse this morning, and the others like it where Jesus asks people to keep it quiet about who he is. I was wondering how he might have said this; how he might have explained…

Virtuous
So it seems, from Paul's perspective, that as we walk close to Jesus we, in a sense, walk away from the law. We enter a place where life isn't about what we can't do, but about what we can do. It's not…

As I read this verse this morning, and the rest of chapter one, I noticed how purposeful it is. Paul isn't encouraging or informing; he's instructing. He's telling how to do it; not asking if we want…

Less of me is good for you.

Spiritual Healing and Restoration
Wow. I've always heard this verse in connection with physical healing. How much grander it is when I read it in context. The terrible wounds that Jesus received on my account don't bring only physical…
