Finding Life Through Death (Pt. 2)

The Bible reminds us that our immaterial part is the most important part of us, and that we can be perishing on the outside but flourishing on the inside. Paul's life illustrates this truth, as he bears in his body the dying of the Lord Jesus, and finds that death is working in him, but life in others. He encourages us to exercise ourselves toward godliness, to focus on the inward man, and to serve others, so that our inward man may be renewed day by day. [... more]

Sunday . . . Holy Day or Holiday (Exodus 20:8-11)

The concept of rest and worship is crucial in Christianity, providing a physical, emotional, and spiritual change, and allowing individuals to refocus on their significance in Christ Jesus. The Sabbath, or Shabbat, was a covenant sign for the Israelite nation, but was set aside due to their rebellion. The New Testament church observed the first day of the week, or Sunday, as a day of worship, and it is still observed today as a holy day, set apart for rest and worship. [... more]
