Nothing Can Hinder The Lord

Contributed by Gary Moore on Jan 21, 2008

Nothing can hinder the Lord.

Paul writes to the church at Corinth that “we live by faith not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5.7). This simple aphorism, often set forth as the litmus test for Christian living, is easily misused.

Another Word About Last Words Series

Contributed by Gary Moore on Jan 21, 2008

Strengthen in Christ

Paul closes his letter with a liturgical doxology that easily lends itself to a formal worship setting.

Paul’s final thoughts bear a striking ...read more
