    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. On the one hand, it may be limited to the doctrinal content of salvation; on the other, faith may be ...read more

    Strengthen in Christ

    Paul closes his letter with a liturgical doxology that easily lends itself to a formal worship setting. As much as the letter is a tightly woven piece of logic, so too one finds a structural symmetry to the text that contributes to its overall cohesiveness. Paul’s final thoughts bear a striking ...read more
