Paul reminds us that there is a certain lifestyle that should follow the Christian.

Do you know the goal of the faith you claim? Paul shares his.

Where is God when evil surrounds? It's a question we often ask. But do we have an answer?

Paul's reminder that humility is key serves us well.

Paul shows that the things he's suffering right now are for a purpose.

We don't put on armor to stand in place and cross our arms. We gather our armor to advance the battle line.

Here we have to put things in context to make sure we're getting things right.

For what purpose do these things really exist?

Where is God when leaders do bad things or wrong things or just don't do anything good? Where is God when poor leadership threatens to tear down important structures of safety and survivability?

Paul reminds us that the message of the gospel is for all who will believe not just a select few.
