  7. God Hurts The Hell Out of Us!

    looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

  10. What does it mean to you to have your "identity" in Christ?

  14. Paul did not teach Perpetual Belief Alone-ism for salvation.

    Paul did not teach Perpetual Belief Alone-ism for salvation: Many believe that Paul taught to believe in Jesus alone their whole lives (with no change in your life) to be saved; But this is not true.
