My Paradise: With Christ. Not

Life And Death! They Seem Like Complete Opposites-at Great Enmity With Each Other. But For Paul-and For All Who Share His Faith-there Is A Unity, Because The Same Great Passion Is Fulfilled In Both-namely, That Christ Be Magnified In This Body-our Bodies-whether By Life Or By Death.

Sanctification Is A Community Project.

Marriage. The Roots Are Deep. The Covenant Is Solid. The Love Is Sweet. Life Is Hard. And God Is Good.

Suffering For Jesus Is Temporary. Pleasure In Jesus Is Eternal.

O That We Would So Love The Gospel And Have So Much Compassion For Lost People That Tribulation And Distress And Persecution And Famine And Nakedness And Danger And Sword And Gun And Terrorist Would Turn Us Not Into Fearful Complainers, But Bold Heralds Of Good News.
