Here again we find the beautiful tension in Scripture between divine sovereignty and human responsibility. verses 3-4 radiate with the undeniable declaration that this calling is the work of God alone. But then—with what appears to be striking contrast—verse 5 leaps off the pages of the ...
and there are a great many more that belong to the tropics; as there is such a thing as sunstroke, which is, perhaps, as dangerous as the cramping cold from the icebergs of the north. Some of us should understand what that Scripture means: ‘Because they have no changes, therefore they...

Josh: He himself may have been a one (of Antioch, or Rome… but then what was Paul doing in Rome?), but this is beside the point. He was first and foremost an Apostle sent directly from Christ, just as Paul was (through the vision). This is what distinguished Peter and the other...
