    #11 (and final) in my Romans 8 - What a Way to Live! series. It first summarizes the rest of the chapter, and uses extended allegory of the Trojan war to describe inseparable love.

    Romans 8:38-39 – To Be Loved (NOTE: to get the full effect of the Trojan War illustration, you may want to research this more than I have written. Watching "Troy" is a help, too.) Well, we’ve made it. We spent all fall studying Romans 8, and I must admit, I’m ready for a change. Perhaps you ...read more

    The "Love Chapter" helps to show us what unconditional Christian Love is all about

    When we think of love we often think of our family, friends, spouses, children and things we have and people we encounter in our lives. Being Christians, however, we must look at the world with the loving eyes of God. John 3:16 tells us that “God so loved the world…” We, as God’s children, must ...read more
