It may seem counter-intuitive to consider this verse at a funeral when death is clearly on our minds. How can we say that the ...read more

What happens when we die physically? Do our bodies remain in the ground? What about our souls?

This chapter seems to be in the wrong place.

WHY? In chapter 6 Paul told us clearly that Christians do not continue in sin, because when Christ died to sin, so did we. We are no longer "in Adam." Our victory over sin is established through the death of Christ Jesus. Now you would think that after this tremendous victory we have ...read more
