Romans 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which isyour reasonable service. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect …
Paul loved to tell his story. He must have told it hundreds, possibly thousands of times. Luke, the author of Acts, recorded Paul’s testimony three times.

Augustine was amazed at the two generations of Jesus Christ, how scripture reveals Christ as the eternal Son always in the state of being generated from the Father. He is the radiance of the Father’s Glory. He also was amazed at the miracle of the virgin birth. I wanted to give you an excerpt from …

After Lazarus was raised from the dead, the leaders of the Jews were determined to have Christ executed. His greatest miracle had brought about the end of His life and earthly ministry. …
