An Obedient Spirit Series

Contributed by Bart Leger on Jul 27, 2007

The apostle Paul did not preach or teach the Gospel because of personal reasons or because the calling seemed attractive. I have talked to some who went into full-time Christian service because their father was a pastor, or because they grew up being told

An Obedient Spirit Paul continues to talk about his attitudes and motives about doing ministry.

Belief In The Resurrection Of The Dead

Contributed by Sajeev Painunkal, Sj on Nov 6, 2010

The Sadducees try to ridicule Jesus with a stupid question about what happens in heaven. The answer of Jesus is not about the how but they why. If we don't believe in a life after death, we will have no purpose for our life on earth.

People sometimes ask stupid questions. They know it is stupid; but they ask them anyway. When somebody asks a stupid question, we can assume that either they are too naïve, or they are sarcastic. And most of the time they are not naïve; they are trying to make us look foolish trying to answer ...read more
