    Often we want to make ourselves better but go about it the wrong way. Paul the Apostle gives us tips in how to put off the old nature and put on Christ’s character.

    In chapter 2, Paul focused on the error of elevating the mind above the knowledge of God, and focusing on taming the physical body as a way to righteousness. He chastises the use of external rules and regulations, especially those around following certain ritual days and abstaining from certain ...read more

    In this text we learn about an encounter Jesus had with ten lepers as He entered a village between Samaria and Galilee on His way to Jerusalem

    As He made His Journey, He heard this pitiful cry from ten lepers “Jesus, Master”! Notice, they called him “Master”. They did not call Him “Teacher” or “Lord” or “Messiah” or “Son of David”, they called Him “Master”. Is this significant? Yes, they called Him Master because a more literal ...read more
