Great Comparisons
Romans 8:18 “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” One of the things I’ve enjoyed since my retirement eight years ago is participating in a bowling league with other retired men from our area.

Spiritual Senses
Romans 8:5-6 “For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.” Do you…

We Are What We Eat

The World’s Two Religions
Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Do you realize that there are really only two religions in the world? They come in many forms, but in their basic essence there are only two. One form is rooted in…

A Renewed Mind
Romans 12:2 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind” Do you know that God never commands us to do anything that is impossible for us – with His help, that is. That’s a wonderful thing to keep before us when we find ourselves doing things that we…

Nor Height Nor Depth
Romans 8:37-39 “No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us…
