THE ROMAN FREEDOM LETTER

I am teaching a six week course on Saint Paul's letter to the Romans. This is thought by many as one of the greatest letters ever written by anybody in human history. We are putting five questions covering the first three chapters of this important letter of Romans on this blog site. You can hear the teaching live by coming to Abundant Life Center, Toledo, Oregon.

The first person to e-mail us back with ALL the correct answers will receive a valuable prize! (We have given clues on which chapter to look in for the answers.) Have fun!

THE ROMAN FREEDOM LETTER by Saint Paul.

CHAPTERS ONE, TWO, and THREE

1. What is the highest title of honor in God’s Kingdom? (chapter one)

2. Of what one thing do we not want to be ashamed? (chapter one)

3. How do we get REAL POWER into our lives? (chapter one)

4. What happens to us when we judge another person? (chapter two)

5. Who does God justify (make free from guilt or blame)? (chapter three)

BLESSED FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH



Anita and I were eating FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH at our favorite Mexican Restaurant in Newport Beach, Oregon—The Mazatlan. We noticed a family with three kids come in for lunch. They wanted to order from the lunch menu but they were ten minutes late and so they had to order from the expensive dinner menu. We felt sorry for them and asked the waitress to put their bill on our table. We then went and visited with them and learned that the parents worked as teachers in two different Christian Schools in Tucson, Arizona. One of the boys led in prayer over their food. We were so touched to see such a sweet family that after we left we returned and invited them to come to our home in Lincoln City on the ocean. The mother, Karen cried. They were delighted to do so! As it turned out they all spent the night with us and much of the next day. We played pool together, visited for hours, and they hiked and swam in the ocean. In such a short time we grew to love them as though they were our blood family. The mom and dad are Lonnie and Karen, and the boys are Caleb, Joshua and Aaron.
It turned out to be our most BLESSED FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH!!

WILD RIDE IN A SCHOOL BUS---OF SORTS!


The family had a fabulous ride for one hour going up and down sand dunes, riding along the edge of the ocean, and going through the brush. The old school bus was converted to a giant dune buggy holding about 30 people for the thrill of their lives!
