I love that chapter of Philippians! :)

@Addy Although I don't say that everyone ought to get tattooed (it's an individual thing, very much), my wife and I talked to a young lady - and I talked to a young man - with the whole of John 3.16 tattooed on their wrist area and arm, respectively. Doubtless the fact that they endured getting...

Hi @Addy Hebrews 7.12 says the law was changed. Hebrews 7.19 says that what we now have is better - a keyword in Hebrews - than the law. :)

@Addy The resounding note with which an assuring passage such as Romans 8 ends should dispel any notion that the true believer is supposedly not eternally secure...

@Addy The Psalm fits well with Hebrews 13.20-21, right? :) "20 Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, 21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that...

...but it was faith that saved; it wasn't the act of baptism, which is symbolic.

Christsfreeservant has written some really good meditations...

@Naomi25 I guess the question revolves around whether in Scripture Israel and the church are really one and the same entity. (1 Corinthians 10.32).

@Emily Write FYI....good to see you on the forums.

@Mayflower Didn't see your earlier post, but glad they are both doing better....:)

@Emily Write: Perhaps you also know that hymn by John Bunyan? "He who would valiant be, 'Gainst all disaster, Let him in constancy / Follow the Master. / There's no discouragement / Shall make him once relent / His first avowed intent / To be a pilgrim." (....which fits in with the title of his...
