Well, exactly. "The Gospel in a nutshell", so to speak - although there is huge scope for expounding it.

Just goes to show how important it is not to hinder the work of God when it is growing rapidly, as in Acts, right?

The Word as per Hebrews 4.12 needs indeed to challenge and transform us inwardly: "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and...

Interesting subject; I guess other ways of phrasing it would be 'moral character', 'Christlikeness', etc.

Fits in also with Godly fear in Malachi 3.16: "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name."

While there is some truth to what you say, FYI, I saw this report in Huffington Post: ' "...Most of my clients are in the older bracket," Gallo-Kohlas told The Huffington Post. "We see a lot of women in their sixties and seventies getting their first tattoos." Gallo-Kohlas recalls a woman in...

I think the sense there is: 'obedient unto to the point of death'. Morally, death had no hold on Him. '..the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me' (John 14.30).

Romans 8 indeed ends most gloriously!

The answer I think is provided in Philippians itself: "Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ" (Philippians 1.6). :)

Well, there's also always Philippians 4.8 t guide and moderate one's thinking: "...think on these things". :)

There are good, Scriptural summaries indeed; and although 'alone' is not a word found in Ephesians 2.8, yet the implication is there; such is the qualification 'not of works' in Ephesians 2.9.

Great quote there from Romans 14! Christian liberty is so glorious because it's God who is able to make the believer stand, not artificial "rules".

Someone said that the Great Lakes are like one big river. I guess similarly, the Web is sometimes like one big 'stream of consciousness' conversation...

If the observations are basically sound and can be sanctified, then they can be worthwhile. I guess neither of them did it (yet)...

Solemn warning in Romans 3.18: "There is no fear of God before their eyes." This ties in with Malachi 3.16: "Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and...

Generally speaking, the Reformation signified getting back to the Bible. These are excellent, Scriptural summaries of doctrine. :)

True for all of us, yes.:)

Indeed so...
