Don’t go near this!” Do you think things that are here today and gone tomorrow are worth that kind of attention? Such things sound impressive if said in a deep enough voice.

All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in me

April 20 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: Romans 6:5 We know something about being buried and still rising, about being counted out and still coming back stronger.
