“Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of
“What then shall we say to these things?” Romans 8:31a Paul’s Gospel Journey has continued on, with Yesterday’s Reading describing his Wrestling Match with his Remaining Sin in the latter half of Chapter 7.

“Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.” Acts 20:28 This is another of my favorite passages in Acts. Here, the Apostle Paul meets with the Ephesian Elders and in this

“But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.” Acts 14:19 So much for Popular Opinion! God had just used Paul and Barnabas to heal a man, “lame from his mother’s womb, who had never walked”.
