The Perils of Paul: New Mini Article Now Available

March 22, 2021

“Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my owncountrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, inperils among false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness” (2 Corinthians 11:25-27).

(1) Jesus never said it would be easy to “preach the word.”

(2) Life is a “risk” or ”peril,” but that’s no excuse for avoiding the market-place or going to church (Acts 17:17; 20:7)!

(3) Where was Paul’s “guardian angel” to keep these things from happening? Take a chance on life. - March 22, 2021

October 25, 2020

QUESTION: What can I do to keep my Christian life in order, when everything around me seems to be changing? - February, 2019

Answer: To be sure, there is a great deal that is changing about our immediate world. A Christian will come out better than before, though. I'm immediately thinking of the biblical words "confidence" and "patience."
