I Really Want To... But! Series

Contributed by Dean Courtier on Sep 2, 2022

The command to follow Christ as a disciple, as an ambassador, and as a proclaimer of the good news is a command. Yet most of the time we treat our mission in this world as something optional.

No Resurrection? How Does That Make Sense?

It’s not clear what the back-story is for this claim, but it leads to one of Paul’s best little classes in logic. Perhaps there was a Sadducee-trained Jewish Christian in Corinth. They didn’t believe in any resurrection.
