     | 3,637 views

    Israel’s history helps us understand the dangers of sinful patterns today. Craving evil is a root that bears bad fruit. Only the cross can deliver us.

    Bill Cosby once said, “I’m proud to be an American, because an American can eat anything on the face of this earth, as long as he has two pieces of bread.” As Paul approaches eating meat offered to idols here in chapter 10, he gets a running start by pointing to ancient Israel’s history. For our ...read more

    Four Keys To Being Rewarded By Christ

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Mar 1, 2006
    based on 30 ratings
     | 2,744 views
