Paul: Apostle to the Gentiles

Paul: Apostle to the Gentiles Larry R Evans A Few Introductory Reflections Some time ago I found the following quote etched on the American pavilion at Epcot in Orlando, Florida : “Throughout the centuries there were men who took the first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision.” This was certainly the case with Saul who became the Apostle Paul.

"Love"

Sabbath School Class—Life as Discovery and Hope Reflective Quiz:   http://ssclassnotes.blogspot.com   April 4, 2009 Larry R Evans   Introductory Reflection  What is love?   How does it come about?   Can love really exist if it isn’t shared?   Is it possible for love to exist if it is only one way?   When Scripture tells us that “God so loved the world” (Jn 3:16) and that “God demonstrates his own love for us in this:   While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Rom 5:8), is it suggesting that that kind of love is possible by God’s children—a one way kind of love?   This suggests that God loved us before we were able to love back.   Can we do the same with those who do not love us back?   Is it possible to reveal love when the possibility for it being returned is unlikely?    This week’s lesson isn’t about sentimentalism.   It is about a kind of love that is unnatural in our world . . . nevertheless it is present.   There are evidences that God has poured out His Holy ...
