Knowledge Puffs Up, Love Builds Up
November 13, 2022

Remain as You Are
November 6, 2022
Sometimes the way we talk about singleness frames marriage as the aim of life. For Paul, our aim in life is to be fully devoted to God, and he thinks singles have an advantage on that front.

I Urge You to Imitate Me
September 25, 2022
So far, in contrast to worldly wisdom, Paul has been teaching the wisdom of the cross. But he doesn’t just teach the way of the cross with his words, he demonstrates it in how he lives.
