The Lord Jesus as our pattern told us to learn from Him, for He is meek and lowly in heart; He took the Father as the source of blessing, and we also realize that without God we cannot do anything, and His blessing is everything to us.
GRACE AND PEACE
The apostle Paul begins each of his letters with some variation of the greeting “grace and peace.” Many of us have read this many times that we haven’t considered why he might be doing this. Even theologians and biblical commentators often brush it off as not too important, saying it is his “greeting” which was similar to a common greeting of the day, then moving on.
SAINTS FAITHFUL IN CHRIST
There is an expression that says, “They are so heavenly minded they are of no earthly use.” What it means is that there are people so wrapped up in the spiritual world that they have lost touch with the realities of life, and will not be of any earthly use. The greater danger, however, is that we can become so earthly minded that we are of no heavenly use. The demands of this life can become so preoccupying that we begin to think and act by the criterion of a secular world.
REASON, READER WRITER
What you read influences what you write. The more you read, the more you learn about the art of writing. You can recognize areas that can be improved in others’ writing, as well as areas that are written particularly well, and then apply that to your own writing.
THE FORGOTTEN FOLLOWERS
''Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.'' Matthew 28:19-20 (ESV)
