When someone asked Einstein about his view of God, he replied “I want to know God’s thoughts. The rest are details.” What would it mean to know “God’s thoughts”, and what difference could it make in people’s lives if we did?
What do you do when your past with its sins and failures just refuses to go away. What do you do when your guilt and shame stick to you like tar? The answer is here in Romans 7 and 8.
As a Christian, what would you do if Jesus came to your door? What would you do with Him? Hebrews 12 addresses that issue by telling us things we could do to honor Jesus if He knocked on our door and asked to come in.
