Written For Our Learning
Written For Our Learning For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. (Rom 15:4) When considering the first part of this verse last week we had seen the infinite value of “that which was written aforetime”, the Scriptures, the words of God. We take for granted that there is nothing that the Bible does not speak to, either directly or indirectly; that it had an evident effect…
Written Aforetime
Written Aforetime We Would Know Nothing If It Were Not For The Bible Pr Edi Giudetti 4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope.

Upholding One Another
Upholding One Another Reading Romans 14:7-23 I have often spent time thinking about what my life would have been like had I not believed the gospel. I think of how my life has been so incredibly blessed and how different my life would have been had the Gospel not transformed me completely.
